Let's be honest

So if they let Tee go, they need a better rb.

The offense has 3 receivers that are probably the best group in the league.  They have an elite quarterback.  They also have an offensive line that sometimes manages to be respectable, though today was not one of those times.  Other that that, they are hurting at some key spots.  They have no third down back.  They have a group of tight ends that might make up one first stringer if you could splice the positive attributes of all 3 together.  

I really hate where they are at running back.  Mixon isn't old, but he has some tread on the tires.  He's closer to done than not.  There's no promising young back waiting to step in, either.  Teams seem to just find dudes that can run all the time, but we have not.  Trayveon is whatever.  I guess the coaches like him.  I'm unsure of what he brings other than a dude that's been here awhile and ST.  They need a hungry back with young legs to wear down defenses.  An abundance of experience is probably not much of an advantage at the position.
