Assuming no other FA signings, where do you think we'll finish this season?

[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 718361, member: 12283"] Yes, I am not a fan of Dom Capers. I think you make a good point regarding the defense and the new CBA. His scheme is one of the league's most complex and I don't think he's an especially good talent developer. I would like to see him replaced with a better teacher who employs a simpler scheme where young players can play faster without having to think so much. Obviously you're never going to have every single young player improve. But if TT's is still bringing value as a drafter, the majority of them should improve-- not all into stars necessarily, but into better players than they were last year. If he can't add that value as a GM anymore, then he needs to go. But while he's had his rough class here and there, his track record in the draft is about as good as any active GM's. I am aware of the discrepancy between good and bad offenses, but the point doesn't change. A lousy defense got the team to within a game of the SB, so it may be exaggeration to say they need dramatic improvement to take that next step into the game itself. Or they could improve dramatically and not get there for other reasons. But most of the commentary I see on this seems to have totally forgotten that we just went to the NFCCG. Zierlein pegged Randall for the 2nd round and we took him at 30. He said this about him: It seemed that both he and other teams saw the projection to corner, albeit with the need to develop at that position. That was a pretty standard take on him leading up to that draft-- a FS or CB prospect with man cover skills. Then he tested really well. TT drafts traits more than most, and that generally serves him well. Athletic traits matter in the NFL and I point them out as one factor to consider. As I've explicitly stated, they guarantee nothing. However, they do highlight that players of his profile in the 1st round have a really strong hit rate. As the numbers cast a potentially positive light on Randall's projection, I expected they'd be disregarded as soon as I posted them. [/QUOTE]
