That's what I was gonna ask.

We finished strong last season, just had a fine draft and signed some good undrafteds. We're in as good a position as anyone.

Does the team have question marks? Sure.

Name me one that doesn't.

The Cowboys and Patriots... ;)

With the current youth movement and the big ? at qb, Smitty has got to know that carolina is not currently in a position to make a strong run at a superbowl and hes not getting any younger. Could the best decision for both parties be a trade to a contender? Or did carolina bring in a platoon of qb's to see which one works best with Smith?

How do you remember to breathe?

Patriots could be without Welker for the majority of the year plus they do not have a good defense. Dallas looks strong on paper and it appears they have filled the WR gap they so desperately needed last year. Barber is still injury prone and they haven't (yet) addressed their secondary which has holes all over the place. Plus Romo is the teams biggest asset and some days biggest downside.

huh? Patriots have PLENTY of questions on Defense. In fact they are probably the second worst defense team in their division. they don't know when wes welker is coming back, Moss plays good when he wants to.

and the cowboys got trashed by the vikings because they are overrated ;)

You guys beat me to it.

I would have added coaching as an issue in Dallas (the inmates still run the asylum).

that was a joke, my friends... lol

I think the exact opposite, we are just adding extreme talent to our team so we can go on that deep playoff run.

I agree, Fox and Hurney wanna keep their jobs and at the least prove what they can do for a team if we let them go. I'm sure they aren't hoping for a below .500 season. So they are gonna do whatever it takes to make them look good, and if smitty was traded that would hurt their careers in the long run (you don't trade your best player [arguably])

We should be more of a contender this year than last. Now, if we were to trade away the only good receiver we've got, then yes, I could say how you could say we wouldn't be a contender.

we could be starting a rookie QB and just gutted a DL that led to a top 10 defense last season. Too many questions to say this team has a better shot this year than last. Last season was the year to be a contender, the late change at QB cost us a shot a legit playoff run.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
