How far out do you think this team is from being Super Bowl caliber ready

I firmly believe SBs are a mix of quality of roster, coaching, luck, and timing.  Two of those things are largely out of our control - when does the team get hot, when are people getting healthy, etc.  Roster is partly there... We are close to an elite defense... Good skill players on offense... but real bad at OL and QB.  And yet, OL is an interesting thing, because a couple great additions can change the entire look of a unit.  QB, tho...

And then there's coaching.  Last year, I thought it was a strength... This year, fug, Rhule looks as lost as our offense.

If that Watson trade had gone through we would have been a bonafide playoff contender this season and as long as you're in the dance anything can happen. 

The defense is good, they would be even better if they were able to play with leads and not constantly on the field due to 3 and outs. 

Both Watson and McCaffrey have put up MVP caliber seasons before behind not so great offensive lines. 

And I know Robby's gotten fat and lazy DJ Moore's making business decisions 🙄 apparently. But they were one of the best 1-2 threats just a season ago.

Trade for OT Cam Robertson... Not Newton We desperately need a Starting/ Franchise Offensive Tackle. Taylor Decker is also another Legit offensive Tackle to get. 

DRAFT- First round pick OC- Tyler Linderbaum. 

 A Starting QB...

And a safety to pair with Chin

Just for starters.

I’d say 3-4 seasons at least

 

 this team will need to rebuild their o line

 find a franchise QB

 learn to move on from CMC

 

 THANKFULLY the team has very good young building blocks but realistically we’re no where near being an upper echelon team in the NFL for the foreseeable future

2 years IMO. Basically a year to acquire and develop an offensive line. Also, if we draft a QB it's not uncommon for year 2 QBs to be ready to take their teams deep into the playoffs. In the meantime I think we will flirt with wildcard status similar to what the Bills did their first 3 years.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
