Here's something to smile about

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.

    • The reality though is that there just isn't a traditional #1 pick type of player in this draft to begin with. He might have been below Marvin last year, but I don't think he'd have been below Nabers. And if you think he disappears in some college games, then you're only looking at the box scores, I guarantee you not a single NFL GM will say he disappears in games when watching the tape. Arizona's offense is a MESS this year, the new coaching staff is beyond bad and the fanbase is screaming for them all to be fired, our OL is awful, our QB is playing like utter garbage, and we don't have another weapon to attract any defensive attention.  Teams are double and triple teaming him on almost every snap, and when combined with the OL and QB issues, it's just impossible to get him the ball sometimes.  And even when our QB forces the pass to him, half the time it's not even catchable given how poor he's been playing. And even despite all that, he's still 3rd in the nation in yards. I've also seen more WR rankings having Burden over Hunter than I have seen Hunter over T-Mac.  If we had a true outside #1 WR, then taking someone like Hunter (or Burden) instead of T-Mac would make more sense as if Hunter were to play WR in the NFL, he'd more likely be used a slot guy like Godwin or Kupp.   There's a reason most mocks/analysts who don't list Hunter as a CB/WR (or just Athlete) list him as a CB.  Because it's his better position and the side of the ball he's more likely to play in the NFL, partially due to his wire thin frame, I don't see him holding up long term as a WR.
    • This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.
    • All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.
