For all the bad things that have happened

Do we forget so easily?

1.) We were 12-4 last season

2.) We have a franchise Left Tackle

3.) We have arguably the best Running Back and Wide Receiver in the league

4.) We have Jon Beason

5.) All of our awesome Rookies are a year more experienced (Otah, Stewart)

6.) Trgovac is gone!

7.) Hurney and Fox are some of the best drafters in the league

We have so many things to be happy about. :)

Don't forget Jerry's new heart. In all seriousness, I was worried about what could have happened if JR was to have not survived his recent medical scare.

I love where we are as a franchise and see a solid foundation that will lead to long term, sustainable success. Is everything perfect? Of course not, but we'll contend again in '09.

Don't let Sam Mills Fan in here then... :lol:

This whole thread is cracking me up. Sure, let's all just forget who our quarterback is and that we only have one great player on defense lol. If you do that and ignore our schedule for next season, then you *should* be really excited for next year!

I can counter everything negative you say with a positive.

Feel free to wallow in your negative filth tho.

I will stick to reality.

The "whoamg schedule is so hard wut r we goig 2 do" rhetoric is a joke. Didn't most everybody have San Diego and Green Bay penciled in as our toughest games last offseason? The NFL doesn't work that way. If it did, we've have two or three Lombardi trophies by now.

Actually, we have two elite caliber players on defense: Peppers and Beason. Everyone else is either average/above average (Lucas, Brayton, Lewis, Kemoeatu, Godfrey, Diggs) or very good (Davis, Gamble, Harris). You don't need Pro Bowlers at every position to field a good or even great defense.

1.) We were 12-4 last season Right on. It was a fun season up til that final game.

2.) We have a franchise Left Tackle Overpaid, but I'm glad he wants to be here. Unlike someone else.

3.) We have arguably the best Running Back and Wide Receiver in the league Got to love that.

4.) We have Jon Beason One of the best in the biz. Not looking forward to the day when he "talks contract".

5.) All of our awesome Rookies are a year more experienced (Otah, Stewart) Otah will hopefully play all 16 games, or that could be a sign of things to come. But he will be a beast. J-Stew goes over 1000.

6.) Trgovac is gone! So? Nobody knows the real reason our D sucked. Let's just hope Meeks will change the scheme up and Fox won't step in his way. At all.

7.) Hurney and Fox are some of the best drafters in the league. Every team can claim good draft picks I'm sure, but I can definitely thank them for eight without even thinking.

We have so many things to be happy about. :)True, but the past is the past. It will not make up for a crap year, if we have one.

And also, here's to another 8-0 home stand!

    • Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it. 
    • Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker. 
    • We only fielded about 4 NFL calibre players on that unit last year.
