As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers returned to practice Tuesday after their bye week, coach Raheem Morris was asked for an overview of the NFC South.

“It’s all clumped up in the NFC South,’’ Morris said. “(There is a) 'Somebody has to do it. Why not us?’' mentality in our locker room.’’

Morris has a point. The Saints are 5-3. The Bucs and Falcons each are 4-3. The Bucs play the Saints on Sunday. The Falcons play the Saints the following week. But Morris went a step further and included the Carolina Panthers in the mix.

“It is exactly what we thought it was going to be,’’ Morris said. “It is a fight. You got Atlanta , New Orleans and Carolina. The best 2-6 team I have seen in the NFL. I got a chance to watch a little bit of that game as a fan and (Cam Newton) is scary. Steve Smith, he is back. I guess he is back because I didn’t know he went anywhere.’’

    • WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.
    • Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.   
    • In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
