I'm not smiling. I think we'll be solid for awhile, but i care about a ring, not our team's record for the upcoming years. We need to keep some more veteran star players if we want to keep competing for a superbowl.
To win the Superbowl you need to be in the playoffs. A team that makes them a lot has a good chance at getting hot at the right time. That's pretty much how the Steelers won it a few years back, and the Giants last year.

We will not make the playoffs next year.

We're losing the one guy who can rush the passer.

We may lose our All Pro LT.

Our one explosive offensive weapon is nearing the end of his prime and we have no one waiting in the wings.

We don't have a pick till late in the second round.

No way do we lose both of them. If we can sign one we keep both.

I think we will have to win the South to make the playoffs next year, and that won't happen unless our defense gets a lot better. But our running game should be among the league's best, which will give us a great chance at being the first repeat champion.

We're going to miss Smitty when he's gone, but it doesn't mean we're going to suddenly become doormats.

making the playoffs 1 out of the last 3 years is not a lot.

Yeah, seriously. what the hell. I understand that this isn't a time to be very optimistic, but no need for all the pesimism. We won't lose Pep and Gross and Smith is looking as good as ever.

If we do lose Pep, we'll get a first round pick out of it so come down with all the apocalypse thoughts.

We will probably use the franchise tag on Pep and trade him (which would at least get us some picks), which means Gross goes on the open market.

Losing both is a posibility.

Next year is a rebuilding year.

I think Gross stays if we pay him $TEXAS. I really think Peppers is gone, no matter what we try to do. May as well try to get something for him if he wants out.

When Fox said we were all in this year, Jake took that and threw it all in the toilet.

We now have less picks, and like Delhommey said even more age, and seemingly no one to step up and fill the holes.(as evident by our lack of depth at numerous positions)

Our only glimmer of hope may be to franchise and then trade Peppers for some picks.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
