Narrative Check: The Roster is "Close"

No our roster isn’t close. Lots of holes, not many stars. Burns is probably our only star on defense. Horn could be a star, but young. Shaq is above average,Luvu the same. Brown might be a solid starter. Chinn cam be good if moved back to linebacker or played to his strengths. Jackson is a sold 2 cb. The rest are back ups. Our offense has CMC, DJ, Moton. Icky has potential to be great. Corbett and Christensen are solid starters. 

 

we don’t have enough stars to be good, if we could get a good qb and a DE then I think we could cover up a lot of holes we have.

Under Fitterer we've given up a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th -  nearly an entire draft - for Darnold, Mayfield and CJ Henderson. Big contracts to players like Ian Thomas, Elflein and Cam Erving. We've handed out one of the worst contracts in the entire league BOTH years he's been GM.

I know a lot of people are in "EvRYthInG iS RHule fauLT!!!111" mode but Fitt is garbage and needs to follow Rhule out the door.

If we keep him (which we probably will) we're only wasting time with trash offseason moves and fielding subpar teams every year until he's gone.

You seem to be assuming the power structure has been like a normal team. These moves WERE Rhule. I’m sure Fitterer was involved to some degree but it was Rhule that wanted those guys and at most Fitterer was just the one directed to get them.

Never understood why @davosis such a devoted DJ Moore hater. Look at what he's done with trash QBs and tell me he's not a WR1.

That's a weird observation--I quite love the dude.  I am just very WR hungry and want a more dynamic arsenal.  Never really had a targeted hate towards him so don't know where that's coming from.

I just think we need more guys and don't think the team should rest on this idea that everything is in place but a QB and coach.  I just don't buy it.  The overall WR room is nothing special and I think it's become more important than ever when looking at (most) successful models right now.

I was on the fence, but you've made some compelling arguments that we should trade CMC to the highest bidder. I'm on board.

I’d hate to see him go but if we can get a good return, like a first (or if it is indeed the Bills or another team that’s going to have a low pick , a first and a decent young player or a mid round) then it would be the smart move.

You mean Adams who through 4 weeks was on pace for less than 1100 yards. Yeah life isn’t so easy when you don’t have a elite QB. 
 

If Moore played with Rodgers his would average 1500 yards a year.

Adams already has 5 tds, which is one more than DJ has ever had in a season. 

You are still stuck on yards, tds win games, not yards.

Steve Smith averaged 5 TD a season. Hard to get a bunch of TD when your on a run heavy team with bad QB play

    • Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time. 
    • If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.
    • Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
