We Might Be In the NFL's Toughest Division

The NFC South got a whole lot tougher on draft weekend, and it had nothing to do with Cam Newton.

The NFC South was the best division in the NFL last year. The Falcons went 13-3. The Saints, who happened to be the defending champions, went 11-5. The Buccaneers went 10-6 and would have won weaker divisions like the NFC or AFC West. Those three teams finished 8th, 10th, and 12th in the league in Football Outsiders' DVOA ratings. They were all excellent teams, but each had one glaring hole.

Those holes have been filled.

Be interesting to see which team from our division falls off this year and which one rises to the top. NFCS is always ultra competitive but always with a new champion each year. Could you imagine if we were still in the NFCW (granted the Falcons and Saint would be there too, but still...)?

Yea NFC East are world conquerors despite the fact they only had one serious playoff contending team... I mean I see why the networks are on their jocks, all four teams are in big markets. All four teams have douchey but long standing fan bases. But all four teams really aren't what they used to be...

      In all honesty, no one knows if Dan really pushed for Bryce to be drafted. It's not fair to Dan to say that just because he was a part of the Fitterer regime then he was in full support of drafting Bryce. If the HC, Reich at the time really wanted Stroud but got bullied into drafting Bryce then Dan had even less say so in the matter. Dan was also saddled with giving Bryce an opportunity to compete in years 2/3 because of the cost to trade up and get him by ownership.  Outside of managing the QB position, Dan has made good moves and built a decent roster. Solidified the O-line and D-line, drafted contributors, and made good trades (Mike Jackson), and free agent signings (Dowdle). I do believe that this offseason will be really important for Dan and we'll see whose side he is clearly on. Bryce has had plenty of time and opportunity to prove himself and he has failed, if Dan is a Bryce homer he'll give him another year and pick up the 5th year option. If Dan isn't a Bryce homer, he'll move on from Bryce. Either way, we'll find out this offseason.

      You also have to extend him and probably deal/cut Bryce

      Jones would be what he is if he was on this team, a fairly middle of the road game manager. Still and upgrade but probably not worth the price the 49ers may want for him. If it's not something stupid in terms of ask and he doesn't want something even more stupid in terms of longish term contract, I am okay with a middling game manager until we can do better through the draft. The one thing that wouldn't be terrible is some stability at QB. That has almost never happened under Tepper.
