The talent is poor in many areas. What happened to Cody Core? Why aren't we trying other receivers like Josh Malone and Erickson?
There is no fix to the offensive line currently. Maybe having a better center who can call out blitzes and can block might be a big step, but Ogbuehi is a serious bust and Fisher is just as bad. Hopkins isn't good and Boling is just OK. The fix is to fire PA, cut/release the entire offensive line, sign a decent FA lineman or 2, draft a couple young studs in the draft, and let them grow.
We have the fix at WR2. Marvin doesn't want him to play because he doesn't like playing first round picks. Either that or try Erickson at WR2 since he's the only other receiver who can find ways to get open.
But you can't talk about receivers until you have an offensive line that can keep your QB upright longer than a half second. Doesn't matter how many talent RBs you have to carry the ball. I believe Mixon and Bernard are great backs that can get chunks of yards, but it takes an offensive line to make holes for them to get to the next level. Barry Sanders couldn't get 500 yards in a year with this offensive line.
