The Issue with the Bucs in not the GM....the guy has done a pretty good job bringing in talent and had one of the best off-season last year of any GM. The team need to bolster their pass defense and stay as injury free as possible and they will be looking at the Playoffs.
Schiano is going to be a good coach for you guys....he may rub other NFL team the worng way, but who cares....you need a guy like that to win.
Good luck in the upcoming draft....get some help in the defensive backfield and you should be competing at least for a wild card spot. |
I'm glad I'm not crazy in thinking the Bucs can make it to the playoffs next year. I really see Miami making it too if they can retain most of their key FAs.
It's good to hear an unbiased opinion to at least let me know whether or not my optimism is insane or not. |
One of the great things about the NFL is how close most team are from going 7 - 9 to 10 - 6 and how some improvement to key areas can do wonders.

I’ve seen the way not only that he took care of us as his kids, but you see the way he takes care of his family. He’s always about team first, and it reminds me of our coach. One thing about the Baltimore Ravens is that we have the guys that are stars or whatever you want to call them, but no one is bigger than their team, and that’s what makes the Baltimore Ravens special. We’ve got a general, Ray Lewis, that’s going to be a Hall of Famer, and Ray will be the first to tell you that he wants to be there to shine amongst others, and that’s how our team is. Coach Schiano implemented that same kind of format in us.”

Good stuff.
To piggy back off of your point, NFP just highlighted Draftmetrics' recent study of the draft and how each team did. The metrics that they used in their study have their pros and cons, but I think that the results (especially over the last 5 years) will surprise people.
http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Whos-been-doing-the-best-job-of-drafting.html
By these metrics, Dom has actually done a really good job in the draft - 6th best over these last 5 years. With only Jeremy Zuttah remaining from our 2008 draft class, the overwhelming majority of that production has come from Dominik's tenure.
Looks like Dom and Schiano may be better than Shaun King thinks.

I don't know about anyone else, but I find it hilarious that DRD posted this gif that is hilarious on it's own
