NFC South to look like poo this year.  I can see a team getting in at 8-8.

[Happy Panther]

Until Brady is in a wheelchair I'm not betting against him. Even then I give him two years in the wheelchair.

[Mr. Scot]

Emmanuel Sanders to the Saints is one that made me groan.

Every team in the division besides us are in 'win now' mode.  So yeah, they are buying the essential pieces they feel will get them over the hump.  Us?  We added just enough players so we can actually field a team this year and not have to forfeit each game.

Well to be fair, reports are that some of us are in "win now" mode too.

You if one of those three teams (Tampa, New Orleans or Atlanta) may get in at 8-8 which NFCS looking like poo, that means we’ll be 4-12?

We were players for him last year at the trade deadline as well. If only we had gotten him then where he wouldn’t have **** all over our defense when we played San Francisco and we win that game by a TD.

We are built to “win now”, however we are also built for the long run with the youth we have all over our roster.

Panthers

Gain: Teddy Bridgewater, Robby Anderson, Kirkwood, Roberts, Cooper, Miller

 

Panthers fans, “our offense is going to be great. We can go on a shootout with any team.”

Jeff Ireland has done wonders for your last few drafts. I'm still trying to engineer a way we can steal him.

He and Matt Rhule are friends, you know.

[Riverboat Ron]

You guys do realize Brees and Brady will be playing another 10+ years right?

You don’t have a HoF QB past this year or maybe 1 more.

[Soul Rebel]

Not to be a homer, but I'm okay with our moves and excited at our future. A lot of these moves by the other 3 teams are for veteran players, and the Saints and Bucs have 40+ year old QBs, so they are win now for sure. Let them enjoy the next year or two, but we will be the stronger team long-term. 

We added the top QB in free agency not named Tom Brady and is only 27 years old. Top WR not named Amari Cooper and is also 27. We also improved our LT position and may have a lateral move at RG depending on who goes there.... Miller is a very capable starting RG (26 years old). 

Our defense is shiite.... but we have the highest draft picks of the others in the NFCS, so if we bring in someone like Brown/Simmons in R1, they will wreak havoc.

Brady wants to play until his own grandkids are old enough to be his teammates, but I don't think Brees has any such aspirations.

And yeah, it's possible. Though you'd have to build the best offensive line you possibly could to make it work.

The Saints have already done that. The Bucs? Not so much
