Re: Everything Must Go?
We can win this division. We can dominate this division. We can have a streak for the ages full of much glory and honor in this division this year. But thats because its a weak division. When we get to the playoffs and face dallas, philly, bills, kc etc we will get steamrolled.
The Panthers and Falcons are both rebuilding. They both traded key players to give themselves more picks yet they are both in superior positions to us. One has more wins, the other has the same record but beat us head to head. We can also still win this division while rebuilding. The Panthers traded CMC and beat the Bucs with an interim coach. We could trade Kamara or Thomas and beat the Bucs with an interim coach too. Any team can compete in this division this year. But if we hope to compete in the future we cant afford to let our rivals fix their cap issues and add draft picks while we do nothing. A rebuild can actually make us better by showing there is accounability not just bailouts. |

Re: Everything Must Go?
Your attitude is negative. You think if we change coaches midseason and trade away a star or two we can't compete and will be throwing away the season. I believe in the underdogs on the team and think that a little accountability and optimism will light a fire under them. Just look at Carolina! They got rid of a lousy coach, did the right thing long term in unloading a star who was costly and prone to injury, and now they just won the game of the year for them. Honestly, Carolina is in the drivers seat in this division although they are 1 game back. The are the only team that is undefeated within the division and they won both games by over 7 points. Their record is a product of a tough schedule so far outside the division that will get easier as they go. I believe this team can win too and that doing the right thing and making hard choices to reduce our 2023+ salary cap load and add draft picks wont make us worse, it will make us better. Adding an OBJ or whatever and bloating the 2023 cap even further won't make us contenders, it will be part of the problem. We are too old, too entitled, with too many contended vets brought on from other teams to put us over the top but in reality just going through the motions. The way to win this division is to be the young hungry underdog team not to double down on the formula that has put us in last place in the division.
