NFL Teams graded on 5 year potential

[CelticCat]

If we keep hitting on these 1st rounders we should have a great core hitting their prime soon enough.

Everyone keeps saying "once we get out of cap hell" and while it's nice to think about... the reality is "once we get out of cap hell" we're going to be paying guys like Cam and Luke, and then there's Star and KK right after that.  Our cap situation is going to be more of a lateral move more than anything.

 

I hate to say it, but similar to the 49ers with Kap, and Seahawks with Wilson, our best window to build a juggernaut was during Cam's rookie contract.  Now that's not so bad, because we see that we can actually have a good team around Cam with money limitations... it just sucks to think we could've really had something special had it not been for some of those contracts and flat out bad luck though.

 

Either way, we should be competing for a long time.

I hate to agree with you on the cap situation but your right. We still got a lot if top players yet to be paid but I think Gman will find a way to trim the fat and address the important areas.

we got to fix the oline , dbs , runningbacks, and find a #2 w.r 

 

i say 4 years removed from being the best team in the nfl

i agree , we should not expect big freeagent pickups , we are rebuilding through the draft gettleman has the eye for great draft picks

Greatest dynasty of the salary cap era. The GOAT and the greatest MLB of a generation. GMan has also spent a lifetime for this opportunity. That doesn't mean the Lombardi every year but there's way too much not to be in the mix every year and win rings (plural) when we get the needed breaks. Not rocket science. It will happen.

The difference is we will be paying our playmakers. Right now our best players are on poo contracts and the people getting paid a lot are out or aren't performing, not to mention overpaid. That will make a huge difference as long as Gettle keeps up being able to field guys who ball out on their value rookie/FA contracts.

The team being built with the talent being collected reminds me of Pittsburgh a while back when they were making deeper playoff runs with a young Ben, 2010.  The OL was neglected the entire time and they got to the Super Bowl and won it.

[Lumps]

Once u get to the playoffs everyone is capable of beatin everyone

Unless you're the Cowboys.

[BerryLoMein]

Unless you're the Cowboys.

 

 

That's not true, they beat themselves on a regular basis.

 

[0115]

By 2020? I say in Feb of 2015.

But I'll take it.

 

I like your thinking.

thats a great comparison . gettleman deff has a plan for us 

[Panthers8969]

I know it's been beat like a dead horse now, but imagine if Hurney didn't overpay all these guys. We'd be that much better

Unless you're the saints , saints suck they really really suck
