Good year to have a bad year?


Leeroy Jenkins PhD

Recommended Posts

Trying to find a silver lining to the direction of the season.

I predict continued struggles and a late season win streak, leading to missing the playoffs but leaving us with hope.

We have a lot of contracts coming up, and the way some of the key players are performing, they should be much cheaper than they would have been after a successful season.  

Pair this with our billions in cap space, and we should be able to put together an unstoppable roster next year.

This does not mean to give up on the season.  We need to see some real progress from our young players.  Cam needs to get his swag back.  Would love to see Byrd, Shaq, Butler and the conners improve.  

 

The future is still bright.

KK is interesting.. He has been invisible so far, but someone will still overpay in FA.. You'd almost want him to dominate and justify the franchise tag.. He hasn't come close to earning that tag in 16.. You either need to hope for a fair, long term deal during the season or I'm afraid he walks unless he really flips a switch starting next week.

I wonder if anyone would trade for KK right now.

Yes it is, you have 3 inseparable cornerbacks, players on the mend, other teams peaking. I don't think this season is lost but only way we do anything is if Atlanta implodes(Which is quite possible.) losing on home win streak due to the fuging fans though kills our moral. really? a fuggin' half empty stadium, this isn't 2010.

KK and Norwell, who is playing really well, are the only players of any real consequence that are FAs after the year. It's actually the complete damn opposite. This is an awful fuging year to have a bad year. fug you Dave.

I think Gettleman is looking pretty damn smart not having signed KK before the season.

Heres the thing, everyone is so smitten with their stars they only can blame the coach and gm. Fair Weather fans. This coaching staff and group of players got you 3 fuging southern titles in a row, a nfc championship, man of the year, O and D titles, all pros. thats a lot better then year past. Fair Weather Fans man.

Of the two only Norwell should be resigned. KK can take his unimpressive services somewhere else.

It appears that we will need a lot more cap space than we currently have because based on what I've seen so far this season there really needs to be an infusion of motivated players on this team. The current crop with a few exceptions seem to be content with resting on last year's accomplishments.

I remember seeing a post where someone mentioned that JR had a recent meeting with the department heads and ripped into them over the current situation with this team after the Atlanta game. Anyone remember that? I'm curious to know more about that.

Great. He made 1 smart decision. 1 of about 3 he made all offseason and 1 of those 3, cutting Charles Johnson, was nullified when he re-signed him. The other was drafting Bradberry. Everything else he did sucked.

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
