Official "Loving this Offseason" thread...

Until we see how this unfolds we don't know what the plan is at this point. Being happy is just as stupid as being pissed until we see who they replace our vets with. I can't say I have many strong feelings one way or the other yet. But it surely is a rebuilding year and anyone who thinks that we are better off so far is drinking something a lot stronger than koolaid. In the end this may work out or be a big disaster. We won't get our first glimpse until preseason really. We are definitely younger and less experienced. Anything else is pure speculation or wishful thinking.

i am loving it too. This reminds me of 2003 when most of the guys on our team were young and unproven. Our team played with such fire that year it was awesome. That fire diminished in the years following but I think now is a perfect time to start young again.

And I still think we'll be extremely competitive and possibly have a chance to make the playoffs. Superbowl? Probably not but that's fine with me if we can put a playoff caliber team for the next several years.

Even if you hate the moves, you have to be somewhat interested to see how all of our young players do next year.

I have no idea how good we'll be next year, but I haven't been this excited since the 2003 season.

What happened in 2003 that was so great? Other than signing a big name free agent?

I'm more on the "I like it". Right now, I'm kinda nervous about us getting too young. There nothing wrong with having a lot of young players, but it important to keep some vets that can still players. We don't want to be like Tampa Bay when they got too young & they were still sucking. :frown2:

I for one am loving it. Out with the old, in with the new. Tons of opportunity for younger guys now to step it up and become stars. This year the training camp will have more energy and focus because for the first time in a long time, there appears to be real open competition. All of our younger guys just called their trainers to get their asses in optimum shape early.

Lovin it.

For me it feels like JR is cleaning out all of the old so the new coach in 2011 will have an easier time bringing in his own guys.

    • Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.
    • Yup the casuals on Facebook ive gotten 85 laughing or angry emojis so far for pointing it out.  The amount of them throwing a fit because the canes were booed is insane  
    • Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
