Good news:

1. Coach Rhule is proving he is worth the money and the risk. I have never seen a team respond to coaching (despite less talent) and play like the more experienced team today.  This is an early hot take, but Rhule is going to be our Belichick, able to get most out of the roster he has been given. 
 

2. Teddy has a solid command of the offense and has impressed me.
 

3.  Anderson looks and plays like our #1 receiver. Looks like a steal as a free agent signing.

4. Defense looks like they’re growing leaps and bounds every week. The way they fly around and make plays is amazing.

not so good news:

 We’re not going to be in the running for a top 5 pick, maybe not even top 10. Drafting a future franchise QB may be unattainable in 2021.

I know I said above that Teddy looks good in this offense but I still have huge question marks if he can lead us to the promise land. Deep ball is just not there in terms of power and accuracy. I think this offense may be good because of Joe Brady and his system. Eventually it’s going to hit a ceiling with Teddy like the Chiefs did with Alex Smith.

If Teddy keeps playing like this I wouldn't worry about getting TL.  He's only 27 years old and has enough years left to get us there if we build around him.  Hopefully someone else will come along down the road when we need to move on.  

TB leaning curve is behind him so hopefully he will rise to the top with the Panthers.

All of those are good points. I think that we can avoid the Alex Smith scenario by improving our offensive line, particularly LT. I thought Okung was going to give us 1 or 2 years but I'm not sure now. I was strongly impressed scoring 30 points in our first game.

Panthers will be drafting a QB in the first round in the next 2-3 years. I guarantee it.

I honestly ....it's so far removed from my historic perspective of this team that I can't even go there even though I want to with coach Rhule here....I don't know if I've ever been this fugin stoked because unlike a player or two a coach like Belichick isn't going to come and go or get injured, etc. It changes literally everything.

IF we do have something like that in Rhule then man, I can't even because it's not something we are used to here so it's uncharted territory that we can even hint at something like that. Pretty crazy

Hepcat guarantees it folks.  Forget your worries.  Happy days are here again.

Given who our current backups are I don't think that is an outlandish prediction.  I would hope they are looking to upgrade the depth at least

      Corbett might not be gone

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If we are going to spend the money anyway, maybe the signing is not as bad as it seems.  Mays outperformed Corbett (before his injury and if you go back to last year, Corbett has been below average) and then Christensen took the job and Mays quickly took it from him and never looked back.  He could use improvement reaching to the next level (LBs) but picking up stunts and blitzes---he was surprisingly good.  Run blocking needs some work, but he is 25.  Corbett, in my view, should be G/C depth and if Mays steps back, he is there.  Mays should start because this team is building for the future and 30 year old players are not building blocks.  We shall see.  That is how I think about it, but there are many factors we do not know. Having said that, I like what Zavala is doing, and I do not want to bring in someone who would take opportunities away from him.  Zavala was really good at RG down the stretch, and in limited duty, was awesome. In fact, we have a guard from the PS who played briefly and did well, but he only played a few plays.  He is 25 and I recall that fans of his former team were upset when we signed him.   Maybe as the backup center only (Corbett).  You need 2 centers to run practices efficiently.  I cannot say enough about the OL coaches on this staff.  What they have done is overshadowed by the Lewis / Hunt signing.  Mays, Ekwonu, Zavala--impressive growth.
