How hard can it be?

[Hog1]

SO true...

[Dread-Skin]

Rebuild ? Not even the alien technology that built the pyramids could rebuild this team. Sell the team Dan and new owner move to DC. I doubt we will win the division for the next 10 years, maybe even longer.

So now that we've ended the McNabb era.. How likely is it that we'll be able to get a QB in the draft?

Right now we'd have a 5-way tie for the ~8th pick. Since our season is officially over, I'm actually rooting for us to lose the rest of our games - to get the best shot at a top QB. Okay, as a fan - I still want us to play well each game, but lose on a last-minute crazy fumble or something - so we feel good that we played well.

Looking at the teams, I don't think we have a shot at Locker or Luck. I also don't think Cam Newton will be worth as much hype as he's going to get.

Panthers - need a QB, likely pick Luck
Bengals - ?probably stick with Palmer?
Lions - have stafford
Denver Broncos - need a QB, Orton sucks
Bills - ?stick with fitzpatrick?
Cowboys - have romo
Arizona Cardinals - need a QB
San Francisco 49ers - ?take a QB

Any thoughts? Let the rebuilding begin..

Orton doesn't suck, the Bills will take a QB, and don't be suprised if Cincy does also.

Did we make any moves last offseason to make us a better team? We brought in a lot of new guys that haven't helped much. In my opinion, Williams & Banks were the only good moves our FO made. Based upon this season and his time in Tampa, I'm not sure Bruce Allen will do a good job rebuilding.

So we've already written off Torain, K Williams, Capers, Cook, Riley, Austin?

Sorry, I have. Torain & Williams because it seems like you can plug anyone in at RB except for Larry Johnson & Willie Parker and get good results. I think RB is still a position we need to address. If it weren't for Torain's injury problems though. I think he was a good move.

I don't know about Capers & Cook. As bad as they looked in the preseason, they would have to improve drastically. With our poor OL, the fact that they've been stuck on the practice squad doesn't encourage me much either.

Same sort of thing for Austin. As bad as our WR corps has been and he's not on the field?

Still haven't forgiven Riley for costing us that game. I think he'll be a nominal starter at best in this league.

Obviously, you need to give rookies time, but I'm more discouraged about not bringing in quality veterans.

SmootSmack, how much of an impact do you think Capers and Cook can have next year being on the practice squad almost all of this year? Is it normal for guys who don't make the team their first year to come back and actually have an impact for a team?

I like Capers, so so on Cook. Being on the practice squad for a year is not the kiss of death.

I dont know if this is common knowledge or not yet, but its offical that for the 2011 draft, New Orleans gets our 3rd and Philadelphia our 4th...

Don't forget New Orleans gave back a 5th rounder too.

So as it stands right now draft pics are

1
2
5
5 Saints
6
6/7 Colts (Justin Tryon)
7

add in some picks for AH and DM and it's not looking too bad at all

Looking at those picks I'd go this route.

#1 - OL
#2 - WR
#5 - WR
#5 - RB or NT
The last three....best athlete.

Try to sign Joseph Adai or Cedric Bensen as a FA to address RB.
Start Grossman and go fish for another cheap QB (this is assuming McNabb is gone)

Draft a QB #1 in 2012
