When Has This Much Turnover Ever Resulted In a Successful Season?

Put the bottle down, we still have our stud front 7 in tact, and on offense, we have one of the best young QB's in the league. We're still in better shape than Dallas, or even the Saints really who have a ton of cap issues and only made it worse by signing Jairus Byrd. So, let it play out. I'm bummed about losing Smitty, and still think Greg Hardy wasn't truly worth the franchise, but this is what we have and I think we can be as good next year as this.

It's not just about Smitty. It's about Mitchell, Senn, Ginn, and whoever comes next. In addition to the fact that we have very little offensive talent while Gettlemen seems to be getting rid of what talent we do have.

It's a bad look for the organization when players jump ship as fast as they can.

Those OL guys retiring is just part of the game...  could an argument be made that they picked this year for a reason?  Maybe...

 

I don't understand what's going on with WR, but I'm hoping there is a plan... I know Gman has one, I just can't figure out what it is...

 

Defense is fine... minus Mitchell and another decent CB, we should have a very solid D again.

Quit propagating this slanderous propaganda that we've lost the core of our team. It's disrespectful to the actual core of this team.

 

Lol...  quit overreacting and embellishing.  I did not say we lost our core, nor would I.  But, as many wise men in football have said, it's not your superstars that make up the whole of your team, it's the other 53 guys, and that's where we are going horribly wrong.

Ohhhh no, one of the worst offenses last year got purged! Wtf r we thinking?

You realize that an average receiver takes 1-2 years in the NFL to make a significant impact, don't you? We could get lucky and get one that is ready right out of the gate but that is unlikely.

I'm sure you also realize that it take time for an o line to gel and learn to work efficiently together.

Don't forget that our ball control offense played a large part in the 28th ranking.

Its way to early to be calling this offseason a failure. We are 2 days into free agency. When was the last time that a big name free agent that signed for millions of dollars worked out? I'm sure there are some but there are way more that sign these big contracts then get released two years later. We still have the draft ahead of us, as well as the entire fuging offseason. You see what the Buc's are doing. Every year they sign these free agents to massive contracts and have it blow up in their face. Just because we havent signed anyone yet does not mean we're not going to.

I'm as sober as they come buddy...  Maybe I should be picking a bottle up, lol. 

 

But seriously, the front seven is all fine and good.  The problem is that we got worse on the side of the ball that struggled last season. 

 

The game starts in the trenches and works its way out.  Offensively, we are in shambles on the line and we were already lacking playmakers.  Idk if you saw the quote from Smitty's agent about that as well, but he said Smitty volunteered to take a reduced role and play as a slot but we lacked the other playmakers to allow that to happen so he ended up carrying the load again in a methodical, slow-play, conservative offense.

 

That is an awful lot to replace in one season and hope that every guy you sign or draft can contribute at that same level of the guy he is replacing immediately.

      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
