Let's Put Things in Perspective

My brethren, this team is nothing but an upset team at best. A team that can cause problems for teams looking to make it to the playoffs. So if any of you are still hoping this team will make a wildcard run, you will be sorely disappointed. So here is what we should watch for the rest of the season.

1. Kuechly's development

2. Gettis' return (see if he has any star potential)

3. Charles Johnson's progress of being a dominant pass rusher

4. Cam's development (Hopefully this coaching staff won't hinder his career)

Those are some of the things I'm going to watch for. Hopefully next year, we will have a new GM and perhaps a new head coach. We should have a pretty high draft pick, so hopefully we get a game changer there, because we don't have the money to get someone in free agency. What are some other things we should watch for?

Who'll step up and be the true no.2 WR. Dnt even talk bout no.1 after Smitty is gone bc we don't have one on the team ATM.

How well Norman can keep playing and his consistency. Hopefully we don't have to draft a high cb next yr. I hope Norman is the answer.

I'm not even going to keep up with Kuechly. I'm pist at him. He's no Urlacher, Cushing or Laurinaitis.

And I'll keep an eye on how many plays Naka is going to cost us.

Those we should enjoy watching the development of:

Cam, Norman, Alexander, Kuechly, LaFell, Pilares, Silatolu.

In the offseason we need:

At least one safety, a receiver, a CB, a DT, a T, a G, and a TE (I was a big Barney fan but he has yet to show very much) Free agency or draft, I dont care. As much as I love him it would be in the best interest of the team to trade Dwill to a team hurting for a RB, or outright cut him. Not because he isnt a great part of this offense or that we dont love him. That money NEEDS to go elsewhere on the team. There are too many glaring painful holes that should be filled in free agency.

    • So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...
    • Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
