Like most of you, I have multiple concerns about our roster, but man does the DE position look weak! Who is a complete DE other than Charles Johnson?

I want to say Greg Hardy too, but he has to be on the field more consistently before we really know what we have. The other 2 DEs are light-weight (250#) speed rushers.

Our backups & DL do not inspire confidence...I hope Harrison can be a dominant starter at DT. We saw the DL, in pre-season, get no push AND get pushed around; if something doesn't change it will be a long season.

Hey, change a couple names and it's the same roster as last year with the same problems:

1. Lack of quality DT

2. Lack of a #2 WR

3. Rookie QB

4. Very suspect CBs.....

Who says you can't get the same results as last year with some new faces? A new head coach and a different rookie QB on a team that essentially still has the same problems they had last season....

5-11 here we come...

Fox still has mind control over Hurney...give Hurney a break already!!! :nono:

Kidding, of course, you are correct. A new wrapper does not change the contents of a gift, nor do new players with same skill sets change the quality of a team.

I really hope that you are wrong & the rest of us who feel the same way. Problem is that even if Newton is the best thing since sliced bread he will still struggle as a rookie & how do you both bring a rookie in AND bring home a winning record? By surrounding him with an excellent OL, great skill positions & (probably most importantly) a lights out [hope Merriman didn't trademark that!] defense. We do not have a top notch D without a strong DL.

At this point, the talent on the roster is seriously lacking in all areas except the HBs, TE, OL & LBs; safety is pretty solid (kickers too, if we are going to pretend like they are football players).

Last year was a throw away year to save $, but then shouldn't this year be a 'rebuilding' year? I am not seeing where they are even 'developing' guys enough guys for an outstanding team next year. Status quo here we come...scratch that, only winning 2 games is very hard, so we will probably win between 4-7 (but losing record nonetheless).

I am the furthest thing there is from a basher or pessimist, but sadly a realist & pessimist sometimes look the same when the GM has not prepared the roster for success.

We need a "homerun" in the next few days..... A threesome of Tommie Harris, Alex Brown & trade for a #2 CB. I think a 5-11 record is our wheelhouse this year regardless, but that would guarantee one of the following:

WR: Alshon Jeffrey, Justin Blackmon

CB: Dre Kirkpatrick, Alfonso Dennard

DT: Jarrel Worthy, Brandon Thompson

As much as we need a WR like Jeffrey, I don't see how we can ignore a stud DL(DT or DE) in the first round.

Yeah, we need realistic expectations. I just hope we're trying to win this year as opposed to trying not to lose last year. I can support a young team that takes chances and looks like they're trying to win and get better.

      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
