 the Panthers lost 8 games last year by a margin of one score or less .so we know or should know considering the facts that this team is a piece away as well 

Let’s not forget that tampa crushed us twice...and the Saints did in last game....we are NOT a QB away from competing for a championship

The Bucs were 5-11, 5-11, and 7-9 over their last three years. Turned out they actually WERE a QB away from competing for a championship and in case you haven't been paying attention, the Saints' QB just retired.

I said us, not tampa

the bucs have had a competent GM for a while and he was building...and he didn’t trade away the farm to get his qb

and Watson is not the GOAT

To be sure to get Watson we will have to overpay....just about any FA or trade for a great player requires you to overpay

i just find it totally absurd that many of you guys are so easily willing to give away so much for a single player

we need to keep building thru the draft and selective FA

and giving up 3 #1s plus other picks and our young players on rookie deals is nothing short of idiocy 

our owner, coach, & GM are NOT going to do that

PS: can’t wait to see you all blow up when we draft the QB from the National Champs, and one of the best offenses in college football history

For starters, acquiring a QB of Deshaun Watson's ability and body of work before he really hits his prime would be a first for anyone. I have seen some argue or intimate that he was the best this past season, but he has put up some historic numbers despite being on a crap team!

https://www.sbnation.com/secret-base/22175134/deshaun-watson-stats-houston-texans-dorktown

Secondly, you won't see me "blowing up" regardless about drafting Jones with our number 8 pick. I'd give it a 10 percent chance of happening. But. If it does, I will be more analytical than angry about it.

I don't believe in betting, but anyone that wants to make a wager on it straight-up, feel free. I know that you (and I am using the term generally) don't really believe it yourself.

There are really fans here who would rather be the Chicago Bears with a great defense year after year convincing themselves they are "a piece away" than actually grab a top 5 QB in the league at age 25, whew

I find you annoying for the most part, Cammvp but you're right. People not wanting us to get a top 5 qb are nuts

The irony here is that was the Texans pre-Watson. They had a GREAT defense and were a QB away. It just took them a little too long to get their QB and they missed their window. I want to trade for Watson but I want Burns, Brown, and Chinn off the table.

Are we winning the SB in the next two or three seasons before those guys get paaaaaaaaaaid, which they will if they're as good as the huddle thinks they are?  This with a Bridgewater or rookie gamble as the starter.  Cause if not we're going to split them up at some point regardless.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

2015 6-10

2016 9-7

2017 5-11

2018 5-11

2019 7-9

so explain to me why you believe they had a competent GM for a while?

Maybe. With some young elite defenders, good offensive weapons, and a focus on the OL I definitely do not rule out competing for a SB within that timeframe if we add an MVP caliber QB.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
