The Taints are headed for the cellar, where they will likely drown when the levees break. Sorry, for the non PC BS but they have dug there own graves or above ground Crypt if you prefer. Then you have the off season winners Tampa Bay who still needs to cross there fingers V-Jax does not decide to party too hard and drink and drive. Regardless they have to get it done on the field and i think we split the season. The Falcons defense is still not as good as ours could be with a productive draft and people coming back healthy. Also people want to hate on our off season so far and all i see is improvement.

We needed a better fullback than Jerome Felton we went out and got the BEST FB in FA with Tolbert. We need safety competition and we went out and got a RAVEN. Say what you want Nakumura is a likely starter, And we are sitting pretty in the draft. CB, DE, and OLB are deep this year and we can find production at those positions.

I agree, A Linemen either side of the ball in the first would ad confidence to this for me. Possibly a trade down to pick up fletcher cox....moving back a few picks to snag a dt and maybe picking up a 2nd or 3rd in the process. We will see what can be done, I am not sure of trade value after the rg3 trade,.....lol

I am not as optimistic. As much as I hate the Saints*, and trust me I hate them, they will have Brees back and he can pretty much run the offense with that nerdy looking QB coach they have. Payton will be in communication with his staff and Brees for game week prep, you know it and I know it. Atlanta has owned our asses. Tampa is a coin toss. Then we have to face the NFC East and the Chicago Bears.

This. Little two early to claim the division when Atlanta has swept us the pass two years.

Yeah, I pretty much agree with OP. Just wanted to throw in:

As far as the Buccaneers go, and I'm not doing any research here, but I can't remember any team that has ever gone crazy in free agency and then won anything the following season. Free agency almost always seems to be a trap.

I think the offense of this team will be a top 3 offense in the league. Too many weapons. We will score a lot of points. Its up to our defense on how far we go. Its up to our Front office to get the right players in the draft or FA and then its up to the coaches to develop them throughout the season.

Simply, I wouldnt trade our team or our roster for any team in the NFC South.

If the Panthers can't find themselves in the post season this year, that is going to be a huge issue with me. Buccs have a nice team on paper but I don't think they are there yet, the Flacons I never count in and Saints (chuckle).

I'm really not that confident about our team this coming year. Our defense was god awful and we really aren't doing anything to improve it. Sure we get Edwards back, that will make the D line "okay" but it still won't give us any pressure up the middle from our DTs. Then of course we are getting beason back... but not at full strength due to his achilies injury, so i sincerely doubt he will be a huge factor, then there is the big question of Thomas Davis, who plays if he gets hurt because the possibility is likely (as much as I hate admitting that). then there's the problem with our secondary, mainly at FS and CB#2. A good draft might help a bit, but I don't expect our defense to be all that great this year. hopefully I'm wrong, but I just have a bad feeling about this year.

    • I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.  
    • I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years. 
    • He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
