Absolute Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I just saw on Total Access (cause I missed it last night) that we have the 3rd youngest team in the league behind only Green Bay (1st) and Buffalo (2nd). That shows me that we can only get better. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoned_jc7 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Guess we might be first if we cut Brooking. Youth, Talent, and good coaching. I think we have all three, but we need to put a few seasons with all three of those together to get something special going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzummo Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'm usually pretty optimistic, but the first thing that came through my head was "sophomore slump". Oof, really hoping that wasn't foresight into the future... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 I do believe that either Brooking or Horn being cut would put us over the top. We were only days behind the others not years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpjumper Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Morten Anderson also would add to our age if we pick him up again =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oof, really hoping that wasn't foresight into the future...One of my concerns. I'd definitely like to see some consistency and stability. I think that would make us a good team over time.

falconfansince66 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'll bet Green Bay leap-frogged Buffalo this week when Favre retired... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 falconfansince66 (3/6/2008)I'll bet Green Bay leap-frogged Buffalo this week when Favre retired...Nope. I had heard they were the youngest team even WITH Favre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange_Crush Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 falconfansince66 (3/6/2008)I'll bet Green Bay leap-frogged Buffalo this week when Favre retired...Actually they were the youngest team in the league last year WITH Favre. Now Aaron Rodgers takes over at 24 and they got even younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconfansince66 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Yeah, I think I remember hearing about that too. I think they're going to be the team to beat in another couple of years when they do grow some more as a unit. Aren't the NY Giants somewhere in the top 5 youngest as well?

Forgiven Falcon Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I was just looking at the roster this morning and I sorted the list by age and the amount of players on our roster 26 and under is astounding. Some of those players have a ton of potential also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlsport Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 The 4-12 record says we can only get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert L Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I like the idea of having a young team when rebuilding. When you have a ton of older players time catches up fast and you are rebuilding yet again. Hopefully the younger players are coachable and will only get better.
