To all chicken littles out there freaking out over no FA signings...

[Kevin Greene]

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Let me give you a look at our early depth chart.

QB: Cam Newton

RB: DeAngelo Williams

FB: Mike Tolbert

WR: ?

WR: ?

Slot: ?

TE: Greg Olsen

LT: THE Nate Chandler

LG: Amini Silatolu coming off major surgery

C: Ryan Kalil

RG: Gary Williams coming off of major surgery

RT: THE Byron Bell

Front 7 Dominant

CB: ?

SS: ?

FS: ?

CB: ?

and 4 million to spend. I am usually pretty patient but we need to get something going already

Let's do some quick math:

7 positions that must be filled

Additional 4 spots that need upgrading before camp

6 draft picks

4mil in current cap space.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Let's see, the last team in the NFC South that actually won the Super Bowl....

Seems to me they signed a lot of High Profile Free Agents.

Serious about winning?

We are in NoCal too.

[MrBubba]

The current Super Bowl champs built through the draft and so are we. March always seems to be the time where Cleveland and Tampa Bay shine brightest, April is our and Seattle's time.

Except for Bennett, Harvin, Lynch and others they brought in outside draft .

[Sam Mills Fan]

Except for Bennett, Harvin, Lynch and others they brought in outside draft .

 

Bennett was an UDFA, Harvin contributed very little this season. Lynch fine, but virtually every core contributor on Seattle was a draftee.

Why can't someone just pin this thread every year at this time?

[top dawg]

Did anyone actually believe that we were going to make early moves in free agency?

 

 

 

***sound of crickets***   

[Sloth]

whole lot of denial in this thread

[ctrcat]

I didn't care about anything, anything, anything except LT. The reasons have been discussed ad nauseum as that is the one position you can't pussyfoot around with and we lost an 11 year starter who was in the pro bowl. Fortunately I do feel Cam is a freak and the GOAT and can overcome so many shortcomings, but I am very concerned. Now at 10:30 on March 11 there are no comforting options.

[MHS831]

 Hurney Clause is gone and we have to pay off the credit card debt long after the toys are broken.

[rko396]

...Look at our roster, the one that just went 12-4 and won the NFC South, and name a flashy Day 1 free agent signing that was present anywhere on the team. Doesn't matter who the GM is, we build through the draft (Cam, Luke, Star) and sign bargain free agents. If you were expecting something different, you haven't been paying attention.

Name one reasonable person here who is actually flipping poo that we didnt sign a huge name on day 1.

You clearly had the idea of writing this thread 3 weeks ago. Glad you got your wish. Better get started on next years version while youre at it. Since ull be posting the same sh*t then

[Captain Obvious]

Just so everyone knows. That's not really me. 

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

We have not a single wideout who played more than a couple of snaps last year. Outside of Kalil, we have some scrub ass rando O-Linemen with no depth behind them. Our starting corners right now are looking to be James Dockery and Melvin White with nobody in the slot. Out safeties are... Robert Lester and..? Is the 90 year old Quintin Mikell even still on the squad? Is the forever overrated Charles Godfrey healthy yet?

 

In the draft, we have 7 picks. Eleven spots to potentially fill. And we're likely not gonna find first year starters beyond the 2nd or 3rd.

 

Why are you guys pretending like we're still gonna be an elite team. Unless we make some key signings, we're f*cked and we're gonna finish last in the NFC South.
