Yes it’s homerism but bet on the Panthers to win the division

If it's homerism, is it a good bet? No. Even with Bucs offensive line problems, I don't see any way the Panthers beat them. Maybe Baker does what he did in Cleveland and we manage to beat the Bucs like he did the Steelers. But, I doubt it.

Even if we could win the division, there is no guarantee we'd beat them in the playoffs (unrelated to the bet). 

I also feel as if people are sleeping hard on the Saints. The lack of respect is earned, for sure, but they have a stout defense and their offense is stacked.

You are right.

It is homerism.

Have you somehow managed to miss Tom Brady's entire career at New England?

The Bucs do not need a credible Oline. The refs will keep opposing defenses off him regardless.

I suspect Brady doesn’t make it through the season. No oline equals years of payback coming.

Lost a great LT in FA.

 

It's a three team race, even with Rhule. Look around, the other HCs are nothing to brag about either....

I think they may have lost their other LT candidate to injury this weekend as well. And his back-up/competitor for the spot is injured, too.

Under normal circumstances, we'd have a shot, but I'm still not sure we don't have the fourth place coach in the division. Still... even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then.

I mean two re-treads that took another what 10 years to get another HC... Plus the "How" they got it is sus as allllllllllllllll hell. The other is a rookie. 

Its rhules magic 3rd year time after the first rough two... The energy and feeling is different this year, many have said so. 

I mean if I had to put a numbers on it- 

41- yucs

33- iants

25- panthers

1- failcons

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
