I would prefer to follow Tampa's formula of rebuild. They were also in an extremely similar situation to ours.

Get your QB; His first year will be a down year/ learning year = high pick next year

Get the best DT available. Since DT isn't a huge impact position you can have success the following year while your DT develops into a monster.

Who do you think did it right in a similar situation?

You'll all think I'm crazy, but the Lions.

Yes, the Lions... the Detroit Lions, yes.

Their problem has been that the QB they picked hasn't been healthy, but when he has played Stafford has looked very impressive. They've been aggressive in free agency & trades and have hit on a number of really good young players via the draft in Suh, Pettigrew, Louis Delmas, etc.

I see them making a playoff run this year if Stafford is healthy. Considering the extreme lack of talent on that 0-16 team when Jim Schwartz took over he's done a really impressive job overall. We're not nearly as bad off as they were, so I feel like if we take the same approach we could be contenders in 2 years if Cam works out.

I think dt is a pretty big impact position, the ONLY reason the defense was bad is because of DT

The Falcons went QB, OL the following year, and DT the year after.

The Falcons went QB, OL, RB and TE in their first year. 3 years later, and their defense is still a work in progress but, I don't think anyone would call their rebuilding anything less than a success.

The Bucs are still very much a work in progress across the board. About the only positions they are settled at are QB, DT and maybe WR. Still to early to judge their model.

IMO you have to go after the QB, but there has to be one there worth it. (there are none this year)

Take a look at the:

Lions: Stafford

Rams: Bradford

Colts: Manning

Chargers: Rivers/Manning trade

Falcons: Ryan

I think this is the way to go about rebuilding, but only if the right guy is there, i.e. Luck.

      Observer Projections / *Updated Panthers Waiver Additions

      One thing I will say is you always have to get in the last word and keep repeating yourself as if that makes you right. Since Bryce and Canales are on the same page and this pffensive scheme us designed for Bryce uour round peg argument is off base as well. But don't let that stop you since it hasn't in the past. Unless you can say something new or use facts and expert opinions to back up your comments as I have, I am done.  You clearly have nothing to add to the conversation but the same circular comments which are simply your unsupported opinions. I don't have time to waste going back and forth. Carry on.

      since this a Thielen thread, here's my 2 cents....Mentoring is one thing, but could there've been bad advice also. Not saying he purposely told Young bad advice but not all advice is good. Look at that Raiders game, before that Thielen was clearly upset with Young(hence his benching) but Thielen got hurt, Young came back better. N we really didn't beat the Raiders(they beat themselves, there was a bit of anarchy going on remember, D.Adams perform a coup)    Just like Young first yr, the coaches (Frank) wanted to sabotage Young(hence the fastest hire n fire coach in history proves that.  Young is a good seed we planting but we first have to get rid of the bad apples. Thielen saw his time coming to an end and wanted to leave n go home.    Just like Renfrow, slow, n sorry but I'm so glad we don't have to hear about his comeback story every time we play. Thielen was reliable, but we need speed. And he beat up, still has lingering injury issue, oh but ya'll didn't know that(or maybe u do if u look at the details of his trade). Dan just got him off the books and got some capital, GREAT JOB DAN...btw Morgan push for Young over CJ, and it's no coincidence Canales was picked to coach Young up. At the end of the day, with Tmac, XL, Coker(probably will break some of Smitty's records except the triple crown but if he does oh boy). Coker needs to be on the field. He couldn't with Thielen in the picture.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Bryce won't go anywhere until his rookie deal is up. If we pick in the top 10 next year it will be bringing in another qb to challenge and potentially take over.
