Hey guys, it's 2011 not 2015.

Im just expecting what Frank was preaching. He used words like "contend" in press conference. He said this is not a rebuild. Im just expecting a better team than last season.

 

What's wrong with that?

 

Making the playoffs is very much realistic this season. There isn't some juggernaut in this division. Even people in the Nat'l media are picking us to win this division. Why are expectations so low for you?

Meh. That’s just coaching talk.

we are 100% a rebuild.  Saying we aren’t is just making up a new definition. 

NFL rookie QBs are NFL rookie QBs.  Lot of history to go off of.  Winning is hard.  Even for the good ones.  And we don’t have the roster that proven to be needed to make up the difference to get them over those learning curves. 

This is about developing Young into a good QB.  And maybe the division is such utter trash a bad team gets in.  But that still wouldn’t make us good or playoff caliber.

These guys making young into an all pro this year are in for a surprise

Why do people even watch the games anymore.

 

The Rebuild continues!

 

Exciting times to watch us struggle. But at least we have our draft picks for the next few years to help us rebuild. Oh we don't have those picks so the rebuild will take much longer than expected.

 

2026 will be our year!

 

@CRA I expected better from you. You let me down with this one my man.

I mean, it is a rebuild.  Nothing wrong with that.  Excited about this one. It just sucks we wasted years with Rhule having us in no man’s land. 

Maybe they can get it off the ground and rolling quick.  But I’m going to be patient with it.

I expect to miss them this year contend next year and def in year 3

I expect us to be really close if we don't make it. If Young can give us a Bridgewater level season this year, which he should exceed, we are a playoff team. Lets not overreact to one preseason game. Our roster is better across the board this year in almost every position group and we were one game from the playoffs. The only spot where its debatable is WR but we have the age of debate of is it better to have a true 1 and then some 3s and 4s or is it better to have 2 2's, a 3 and a 4? Some would argue having Chark and Theilen is better than having Moore. But we added a pass catching back and a pass catching tight end that we were missing so maybe that evens out.

Prior to that Bridgewater caliber performance….he played in 44 games, made a pro bowl, made the postseason, played with a GOAT, etc.   

I don’t think that’s fair to Bryce to think at a minimum he should be Teddy out of the gate.

I'm not discounting the possibility of making the playoffs this season, but using that as a standard or expectation in the first year of a coach--really a team, is unfair in my opinion.  

Yeah but remember the threshold for making the playoffs is lower now. More teams are in.

Teddy never deserves a pro bowl, honestly. How many 15 passing touchdown seasons has he had? I am asking for 15-20 TDs. Not a world beater.

Teddy put up those numbers with Rhule as his coach never practicing red zone offense and a terrible OL. It’s not unreasonable to expect similar from Young. 69% (which seems high) 3800 yards 15 TDs and 11 INTs is what he put up. If Young does that it’s not some crazy record breaking rookie season.

Sorry but gonna have to strongly disagree here. We’re coming off a 7 win season not a 2 win season, and our 2 biggest weaknesses we’re coaching and QB both of which we upgraded significantly. In this division I think anything short of a playoff appearance is a disappointment.

And it is an odd year season.

    • I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.
    • Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.
    • Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
