Ben Rapelisburger?

Yup and I thought Tom Brady too, but he took over for an injured Drew Bledsoe in his second year.  The only other one I can think off without getting into the weeds is Dan Marino all the way back in the 80's.

Basically my point.lol

 

This division is terrible. Our defense is the best of the bunch. We damn near won the division with Sam Darnold. You telling me it's crazy to think we can't win it with Stroud at QB?

Yup, because a rookie QB is a rookie QB.  He's going to make mistakes.  Unless the Saints take a face plant, they should win the division.  We will probably come in second.

It's like you just stated watching the NFL recently or something.

I do go to church, but not because I'm scared....irrelevant to the conversation.

Anyway, if we DO happen to win the division it's for the simple fact it's the weakest division in the NFL.  We have the Saints to beat, that's all.  The Bucs and Falcons are in worse shape than we are.

You're backpedaling pretty hard now. I don't give a fug. If we win the division with an all new staff and a promising rookie QB I'mma be up front on this hype train like Choo CHOOOOOOOOOOOO MUTHAFUGGA!!!!

I'm sensing an Allen Lazard type pickup.  Honestly, would rather angle for a trade at WR and draft a TE.  Unless we REALLY want Schultz or Gesicke, don't think we overspend at either spot.  WR FA class is yikes.     

We may be gunning for Dre'mont Jones or if Shaq isn't fully reworked, could sign Okereke and tell him bon voyage.  

 

I like idea of a vet TE with a rookie QB….wouldn’t have minded Schultz until I saw those 2 huge mental errors at the end of Dallas’ playoff game. Might be putting too much  on that but football IQ especially in big moments matters. I haven’t watched Gesicke much at all but maybe  he’d make   an Olsen-ish jump for us

Name rookie QBs that have won their division.  I'll wait.  That's a lot of research for such a small list....if you can call it a list.  Let's not go back to the before the 90's, just the past 30-ish years to save you some time.

I’ll help out here :

Brock Purdy (this year), Russell Wilson, Big Ben

If the Panthers and Saints swapped rosters and draft picks, would you believe that the Panthers would be front runners to win the division with Derek Carr? I have a feeling you'd believe that the new rookie the Saints were gonna pick would help them win the South. 

I only ask this because you seem to be following the "grass is always greener" logic train.

No backpedaling.  We have one team to beat and they have a complete roster, we don't.  Could it happen? Sure, but HIGHLY unlikely.  About as high as Nuke being the FA savior of the offense.

Hell yeah.. I think a very overlooked part is our coaching staff vs the Saints.  Dennis Allen has always looked like shitake as a head coach. Dude looks like a total prick.

Eh, Purdy didn't take over until about 3/4 of the way through the season after Jimmy G. did all the heavy lifting.  He would get an asterisk from me. Wilson has been such a tool lately, I totally blocked him out, lol!   Wilson, Big Ben and Purdy*.  Looooong list indeed. 😀

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
