I'm not smiling. I think we'll be solid for awhile, but i care about a ring, not our team's record for the upcoming years. We need to keep some more veteran star players if we want to keep competing for a superbowl.
To win the Superbowl you need to be in the playoffs. A team that makes them a lot has a good chance at getting hot at the right time. That's pretty much how the Steelers won it a few years back, and the Giants last year.

We will not make the playoffs next year.

We're losing the one guy who can rush the passer.

We may lose our All Pro LT.

Our one explosive offensive weapon is nearing the end of his prime and we have no one waiting in the wings.

We don't have a pick till late in the second round.

No way do we lose both of them. If we can sign one we keep both.

I think we will have to win the South to make the playoffs next year, and that won't happen unless our defense gets a lot better. But our running game should be among the league's best, which will give us a great chance at being the first repeat champion.

We're going to miss Smitty when he's gone, but it doesn't mean we're going to suddenly become doormats.

making the playoffs 1 out of the last 3 years is not a lot.

Yeah, seriously. what the hell. I understand that this isn't a time to be very optimistic, but no need for all the pesimism. We won't lose Pep and Gross and Smith is looking as good as ever.

If we do lose Pep, we'll get a first round pick out of it so come down with all the apocalypse thoughts.

We will probably use the franchise tag on Pep and trade him (which would at least get us some picks), which means Gross goes on the open market.

Losing both is a posibility.

Next year is a rebuilding year.

I think Gross stays if we pay him $TEXAS. I really think Peppers is gone, no matter what we try to do. May as well try to get something for him if he wants out.

When Fox said we were all in this year, Jake took that and threw it all in the toilet.

We now have less picks, and like Delhommey said even more age, and seemingly no one to step up and fill the holes.(as evident by our lack of depth at numerous positions)

Our only glimmer of hope may be to franchise and then trade Peppers for some picks.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.

      TMac is good, but he isn't pick 1 on a WR good.  Last year he would be below Nabers and Williams.  This year you could argue Hunter is the better WR.  WR at 1 better be a Calvin Johnson not a WR that disappears some games in college...

      So because he's a projected top 5 pick he's should be the guy we draft.   Yet you say the other 2 QBs who are projected top 5 picks are not worth it because you think they aren't that good.   That's my problem with you. You just seem to only care about Tmac. I have yet to see you suggest anyone outside of Tmac. At least I'm open to other prospects.
