'99. We just missed out on the playoffs, but dang was it entertaining!

Yup. I won't say we will necessarily regress, but not much more in the way of progress either. I think we will be a fringe playoff team again. This is where the Panthers will be indefinitely with BY as our franchise QB. In the NFL, team's success typically mirrors that of their QB. Average QB, average team.

Neither will be cheap. I've never been a Pitts fan and we have a horrible track record with Falcons FAs. He's the perfect example why RAS is a bullsh1t metric. If RAS actually projected future production, Pitts should be the top TE in the League, but he's not...not even close.

Godert was my draft crush year 1 of the new TE search. He's in his 8th year, is he not? Olsen was coming off back-to-back foot surgeries. I knew he was cooked, which was unfortunate and sad. We've been looking ever since. We had the man, the myth, the legend Ian Thomas....pffft, okay, dude was horrible and this team could not shake him like a bad case of VD. I never understood how he kept a roster spot year after year after year, yet was our #1 TE most of that time.

A legit TE you say? Dang man, I've been barking up that tree for 8 years now.

Just wow.

Finding the right coach can do that to a program.

Have y'all seen a college QB throw a prettier back shoulder throw than Mendoza? It literally cannot be defended. A couple times the DB had perfect coverage and the WR was still able to complete the pass.

Abso-fugg'n-lutley!

Did You hear the commentators talking about how Cignetti looks for players? Curt looks for PRODUCTION over potential. I concur. Maybe the Panthers could take some notes.

So when I hyping Mendoza a few months ago, was I lying? Dude is the real deal.

I don't think the Rams underestimate us this time around. The first time we played, they were riding high and we were, well, the lowly Panthers. They were expected to win and took their foot off the gas. Safe to say, they won't take us lightly again.

Come on man, got to see their face.

Jeffers was a beast until the training staff fugged up his knees. Didn't he sue the team?

Is that Navito Guerro(sp)?

Ex -Packer we got in FA.

Are y'all going totally obscure or do the players have to be on the 53 man for a season?

Dude, you're not pulling old practice squad pics are you? What the F***. I barely remember that name.

Either a guard or DL. Crap, I recognize him, but can't place the name.

There's some OGs on this MB. I knew it right away. but it had already been guessed correctly.

Point #1: Agreed FA TE is the way to go. Sanders is a TE2 and Evans is a TE that can easily replace Tremble. Point #2: This gratuitous playoff birth screwed us out of Bailey, for certain, and probably Styles too. Howell and Hill are the next best ones at their positions based on how most Big Boards are stacking up right now, but a reach currently. I really think one of the OTs will fall and/or a CB. Mike Jack is decent, but we could use and upgrade. Point #3: KC Concepcion in the slot is really peaking my interest. Point#4: Off ball LB will likely be taken later, I agree.

So the Raiders have the #1 overall pick and think QB isn't the move? Do better and the team may have passed on a QB, Geno. Call me crazy, but could it be performance related? Mendoza incoming. Glad he won't be a Saint! That really had sweating bullets for a lot of the season.

Or Peyton or Harbaugh. You know, the retreads that dominated this year. Tepper is market guru, but an NFL MORON!

He might have been there at #14, probably won't at #19. Yay! Gratuitous playoff birth!
