Oops, forgot it was Giants and Bolts. For some reason I had a brain fart and thought the Saints were involved in that whole trade

I don’t think it would have mattered if Brees stayed or not. Payton could have won a ring with Rivers as a Saint during the Bountygate years just as easily.

The next Dion Jordan

If I were their GM I would keep building their defense and stock up on OLine late. They already have a nice pass rush core, just need to fortify the trenches. Then they can look for their next franchise QB before trying to get any new weapons on offense cus they’d all just leave in FA if the team continues to be average.

I pick the Chargers. They’ve had a pretty hapless existence besides the Dan Fouts years and the early Rivers years with LT. I’m also near the San Diego area and they’re still the "local” team around here.

Philip Rivers got fairly close around the late 00s but ran into the 18-1 Pats buzzsaw It almost seemed for a moment that Big Red would take the Chiefs far, but nope. There *has* to be a changing of the guard at some point...

Anthony Miller will be on your radar soon... lol I’m a fanboy of his now I guess.

Don’t tell me it’s just because Brady/Belichick are that good. Or Manning or Big Ben... The NFC is filled with bloodthirsty stud QBs. Rodgers, Brees, Wilson, Cam had a run in 2015, etc, now Wentz tasted blood and wants more. Having a few elite QBs can’t be the reason. What’s the AFCs excuse? Good lord, if not for Denver building an elite defense in 2015, and Sanchize and Flacco going super saiyan in 2010 and 2012 (oh yeah, and Peyton finally beating Brady in 2006), AND Brady tearing his ACL in 08, the Pats could have been in the SB consecutively for the past 15 years, and if not for the aforementioned teams and Eli Manning, they’d have 6+ rings. The Browns, Bengals, and post Manning Colts seem to be especially incompetent organizations, but it’s absurd that with the parity driven NFL, the AFC hasn’t been able to be nearly as competitive.
