Imagine if we had OTA's last season

Can you imagine what kind of damage we would have done? We would have gone to the playoffs. Take away some of those young mistakes and we beat the Packers and the Vikings.

If the refs don't cheat us at home vs Saints it would have changed so much. I feel we are a lot closer than even some here think.

2 more wins than without.

now offseason with beason, TD, otah, and gettis healthy? wildcard spot and ahead of the falcons in NFCS.

Beason aggravated his achilles' working out too much and putting too much strain on it, pretty sure if he was under the guide of actual nfl trainers that wouldn't have happened.

Other teams would have had OTAs though. It would have helped them as well as us, so it was equal amongst all teams. I would have preferred them though. Don't like seeing any player get injured.
most teams weren't starting out from scratch with a new coaching staff, new offense, new defense, new rookie QB.

no doubt we would have benefited form it more than most teams given the same amount of time. no team needed it as much.

I don't know............I'm thinking we would have at least been more fundamentally sound on the offensive side of the ball. Remember the how many false starts and illegal penalties in the first 2 games alone. Few of those pulled us out of goal to go situations that I remember. All in all, I think we would have been at most 2 games better. Probably one game better.

I heard some "analysts" talk about how a simplified play book helped out rookie QBs. San Fran had a new coaching regime and they turned out pretty well. I just think the strength & conditioning really affected us.

Regardless, it would have helped to have OTAs and an off season. Luckily we do this year and my expectations couldn't be higher.

No OTA's probably didn't impact the teams with veteran coaches and players operating the same system that much at all....harder on the younger guys without much experience....hardest on new coaches implementing brand new systems on both sides of the ball, rookies (we had 4 starting for large portions of the season) and the players with conditioning/injury issues.

With Carolina coming off a 2-14 season with a brand new staff and schemes, I really can't see how it could have had a greater negative impact than it did on our team. I'm giddy at the prospect of Rivera taking full advantage this year.

2011 is over.....move on.

PS.....you can't take away young mistakes. :cam:

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      By Basbear · Posted

      I believe Lloyd will elevate not just the whole unit, but also whoever his running mate is. Wallace is still very young, I think he's only 23 with two years of exp now. Cherelus can handle starting, he's just fighting with staying healthy. Kuwatch I think is going to be a contender after a couple week of understanding the system.  I mean Lee will be against..... what nearly 10 NFL-level WRs, he's going to get work and its up to him if he can hang.  I think its fair to expect 12th +/- 3 or 4 spots.  You know this, it boils down to how healthy everyone stays.....cause if dbrown, horn, Lloyd, Michael Jackson, or tervon miss extended time.....no way 10th can be reached. IF all the names above remain haethly, I do think 10th should be the goal. They are a young unit and added talent to a 16th ranked unit. Its time to march forward!!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce.

      Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.
