Roster building is a big part of the process.  Look at Philly.  And what was sold and told to us was that we were in that position to make the next step, which is to compete for this sorry division.

The process of implementing the new system isn’t a concern.  This isn’t college ball with multi year process to get everything going.  Heck, this very thing is what we alllll mocked Matt Rhule for.  It’s the NFL, it shouldn’t take that long.  Good coaches scheme and change things up to their currents teams strengths all the time.  This staff should be able to scheme and put our guys in the best position to win day 1.

Giants was just one example.  But there are tons and tons of more examples.  Jaguars are another one last year.  Heck even when Wilks took over,  we changed things up mid season and came 1 game away from winning this sorry division.

So with this new all star staff that we were sold on.  Your expectations Should be to win this sorry division This year.  If not, it’s a Loser mentality and settlers mentality.  Heck that mind set is no different than the very own person you just mocked and we ran out of town last year.

However short you think it is, I can guarantee it takes longer than two preseason games.

Saints, if healthy, are wining this division.  

and they should build an early lead in the division while we are figuring stuff out.  

We are rebuilding, focused on developing Bryce and hopefully figuring out a decent offensive and defensive foundation along the way. 

That’s just being an objective NFL fan.  Anything can happen.  But that’s the objective take of the state of things in 2023.  And it’s why Vegas backs it. 

and all that is okay.  There is fun in that.  This season is not about making the playoffs.  It’s not a realistic expectation. 

I just can't see betting anything on Derek Carr. He is terrible and couldn't get it done with one of the top two WRs in football. On top of that Kamara is suspended to start the season. This division is super up for grabs and the Saints shouldn't scare anybody.

He isn’t terrible.  Raiders just didn’t meet exaggerated expectations. Carr basically is the same dude every season. He is a Pro Bowl QB.  He just isn’t Brees tier.   

Kamara is only missing 3 games 

and they have what looks to be a cake schedule 

I mean, anywhere outside of Carolina is going to give them a clear edge over us.

Shhhhhhhh. You are making too much sense. If fit wanted a full rebuild, those two firsts and a third would look realllll nice 

You would also think since they turned down those picks, signing Burns to an extension would be priority. Not trying to play hardball

Sorry but the way last season ended with the defense plus the trade for young equals aiming for playoffs and that being the expectation.  If not then should have gone full rebuild if playoffs wasn't the goal. So by them not going full rebuild and telling us they aren't rebuilding, that's saying they expect to win.

If you expected a playoff year this year with rookie QB, entirely new staff, completely new schemes on offense and defense......

 

You don't football very well. That's never been the way it works. 

 

Calm down and enjoy the process of watching a young team develop into something more (hopefully). 

Enjoy the process.............................LOL!

Its Rhule back to visit.........

At this point I'd be willing to settle for Bryce surviving the season.  I don't think I can take watching this franchise ruin another ascendant star quarterback. 

I texted the same thing to my daughter this AM. I watched a shitty OL get Cam’s career derailed, and I hope history doesn’t repeat with BY. Yes, I know Cam’s game was different, but don’t tell me the Panthers ever put a premium on OL during his tenure here.

they did go full rebuild. 

New HC, new OC, new DC, all new schemes.  They traded away CMC and DJ Moore for draft picks.  We are starting a rookie QB.  We got a bunch of rentals and band aids all over the roster. 

the ONE thing they didn't do was trade Burns.  That's it.  And they probably should of.  And they still possibly could this season.  But that one decision doesn't somehow not make a rebuild a rebuild.  Nor does Frank saying standard PR jargon to a fanbase that hasn't seen anything in a half decade about wanting to win in the process.

Oh yeah, I have been checking out the coverage and NFC South talk always starts with New Orleans. Carr can put up some big numbers, but he really struggles under the bright lights. It could click with this change of scenery, but he had really good talent around him for years with little to no post season success to show for it.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
