I actually hardly ever make bold predictions, but the title sounded good.  But among the few I have made, I did predict both the Cam and Luke picks and that they would be generational talents before we drafted them.  So, I guess I have a good track record, but I have rarely ever made predictions about wins, losses, or team success because there are just too many variables and our franchise has just always seemingly fell into ways of dysfunction.  All of that being said, I posted this in the Capers Hire Thread, and I'm so convicted about it and feel so confident in it, that I will share it here...

I'm telling yall...  again, I was not excited about the Reich hire initially, but not disappointed either.  Just wasn't really moved.  Some of that could also just be apathy from years of abuse at the hands of our beloved organization...  but the more time has passed and info that has come out, I am definitely excited.

And I'm going to take it a step further.  I think we finally got it right.  I also feel like there is some cosmic alignment of the stars happening with what is taking place.  Our original QB as HC, our original HC, our DC is a supernova young coach who is a disciple of both our original DC and HC, and we're bringing in another one of our former backup QBs to coach, who also happens to be highly regarded league wide.

Again, mark my words.  I've never been optimistic for any extended period with this team because there has always been holes to poke into any optimism that bubbled up.  This is different.  I already believed in Fitt as a GM, especially now without Rhule tampering with anything.  I believe in the other FO staff like Morgan and Sulaiman.  And now knowing the process that went on here in hiring Reich.  We finally got our first offensive-minded HC, and again, all of the history associated with the team therein...  I'm telling you...  this isn't just optimism.  This is the first time I've ever said this or made this prediction in our history - we are going to win a Super Bowl under Frank Reich and with the staff he's assembling.  I don't know when, but it's going to happen.  Something is percolating, and it's never been this way before.

Yep it’s all about QB. I don’t think Fit is a GM but I do think this staff is average at worst. Give them a franchise QB and they will be winners, otherwise I see .500. 

Trade up and take and elite talent, it is the way and this is the year to do it.

But see, that's where my optimism comes in.  Imagine what Reich would have done with Cam instead of the neglect and misuse he endured under Rivera.  Reich won a Super Bowl with Nick effing Foles lol.  I know the results in Indy were up and down, but as we see, Indy is super dysfunctional in itself, so I can't really hold that against him.  I was a fan of his work in SD and Philly, and I think what he did there in organizations where there wasn't meddling from above speaks volumes to what he can do work any level of QB.  

I feel like Reich is the kind of guy that can make chicken salad out of chicken poo.  And if he actually gets a guy who fully fits his system???  It's gonna be crazy...  and I'm confident we are going to identify and acquire that guy in the draft.  I've never felt this optimistic, especially not this early in an offseason.

Me too. But that basically just means I think the odds are higher than zero. I'm still not convinced they're actually decent odds.

Yeah, I mean honestly, the odds are horrible even for competent staffs, but I'm confident this one will figure it out because they're much more versed in the art than any staff we've had before.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
