Who is the best team in our division?

NO has a consistent defense and Carr makes their offense dangerous.  I think they win the division.  Atlanta will be good but banking on a rookie running back to carry the load isn't a good idea.  I think we have an overall better roster and we'll be 2nd in the division.

I know we looked horrendous in the preseason but that was by design.  I really think we are going to have a very exciting team.  Remember Cam's first two seasons if we had a decent defense we would have made the playoffs our offense was pretty potent.  Our rookie QB wasn't the problem.  It was the D. 

This year if our Rookie plays well, we have a defense that can get us some wins. 

Is our roster really that good though?  Outside of Chinn, Burns, Brown, Bozeman, and an aging Theilen, we have a rookie QB and a bunch of guys that are mediocre

Saints have really aged out. I believe they are the oldest team in the league now. They have the best roster as long they can keep them on the field.

I don't think the Falcons are very good. The thing is, they do 1 thing really really well, and if your defense has trouble against the run it will be a very long day.

I think I read the Bucs have the most pro bowl talent on roster in the division. Sounds reasonable. Mayfield is subpar, question marks on the oline, and there is no running game to speak of. Might be the worst offense in the NFC.

It's Saints, but they are on borrowed time.

We've been saying this for 10 years and it's not been true yet. The salary cap is a farce for them and it's time people give their GM some credit for manipulating low cap space into a decent team, year in and year out.

Carr is also a lot better than Panthers fans give him credit for.

Definitely the Saints when looking at the current rosters and results from last season.

Tampa has the weakest roster by far. Nearly every position group on that roster is not equipped to deal with losing a starter for the season. Atlanta and Carolina have a couple of groups where they could weather such a storm, but the Saints have the best depth by far.

I'm eager to see how this roster develops and evolves under the new staff. We've already seen the death knell for many of Rhule's preferred players, so early signs are showing that Reich is going to put less of a premium on athleticism and more on football intelligence when it comes to later round selections in the draft.

In fairness, they had Drew Brees for most of those years.  That compensated for a lot of the issues.  And I do think it was true last year. They were not a decent team. But the rest of the division was so bad that no one noticed.

Falcons.

I will never trust Dennis Allen with my life. It overjoys me that we get two free wins because of that atrocious bum. 

The Panthers have had the Saints number even before Dennis Allen.  The real question would be how many teams outside of division can the Panthers beat?
 

I think the order will be: Panthers, saints, Falcons, Bucs .  The bucks will be a wild card this year.

All I’ve heard from the Huddle the last 8 years is that you can’t be successful without a stud QB.  If that’s the case, we are better than the other 3.  I’ll take a rookie Bryce Young all day long over Carr, who can’t connect in the red zone to save his life.  

Id probably take a 2024 Young over Carr, but there is no way you can argue as we sit here today that Young is better now.

Roughly half of our roster has been turned over.  Its going to take some time.

    • Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy. 
    • Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.
    • This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
