I was excited we brought in Matt Rhule and Joe Brady to start a rebuild. I was thinking even though Bucs picked up Brady he might have a chance at a SB and be gone in a couple years. Saints we’re losing Brees soon as well and would be going downhill. And we’ll Falcons are falcons not worried about them. I was like ok this rebuild might take two years or so just want to see them be ready by year 3. Now almost halfway through year two we don’t look good at all. We have no oline, and no franchise qb to build with anytime soon. Also guess what Brady has already won SB first year with Bucs and looks like he will play five more years. Payton has saints playing well enough with Winston even though we beat them which I’m starting to believe was a fluke with all the guys they were missing. And Falcons  have looked worse than us but have one loss less than us. I haven’t seen many people talk about the way the division was setting up good for us down the road, but now I’m not certain at all. What do y’all think?

The point of a rebuild is to gradually improve and over time get better by adding and developing young pieces. We all knew we were going to suck for while with having a young roster. So far, Rhule and his staff has somehow poo the bed and team has gotten worse than when we initially started.

This is the overlying concern and why the state of things is as it is currently.

Almost two years ago….. our defense was 23rd in yards per play allowed and 31st in points allowed per game.

 

Currently our defense is 3rd in yards per play allowed and 7th in points per game allowed.

 

There is a lot of woah regarding what the team doesn't have instead of being exited about what we do have. We are in year 2 of a rebuilding process. The early resources were spent on defense and the team is starting to see the results of that effort. I trust that we will see similar results on offense in a year or two.

As for the OPs question:

  • Jameis ain't all that, he's just as awkward in the backfield as Sam. I suspect he will be replaced once the 'aints have the ammo.
  • The Falcons are going to be going to be in the QB market themselves very soon. Have you seem Matt Ryan's contract? Dude is likely gone next season.
  • Brady is an unknown. He's good, but benefits immensely from an all-star roster of vets that make team friendly deals in order to ring chase. Ultimately father time is undefeated. Our team is being built to handle the Bucs though ... what other reason is there for our Pokémon like obsession with good CBs? Going to need a LOT of guys to cover everyone wearing pewter and red.

Basically, our near-term competition is the Bucs and our long term competition is probably the Saints (at least as long as they have Payton).

I’ve heard Father Time is undefeated about Brady for the past 5 years I’m not falling for it anymore!

      [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.
