If the goal is Super Bowl win. Let’s compare the current team to the Super Bowl team.
We lost Boyd and replaced with Trent Irwin/Yoshi
We lost reader and replaced with rankins
We lost Bell and replaced with stone
We lost Chido and replaced with Hill
We lost Mixon and replaced with Chase Brown/Zach Moss
TE is a wash
We effectively added zero pass rushers.
We upgraded at O Line basically due to the players who were starting at SB due to injury.
This is not a SB team. You can’t have a team full of decent-good players and be a SB team. Wilson, Pratt, Hubbard, rankins, stone, bell, CTB. All decent. Not great players. Hendrickson is a pro bowler but an alternate. He’s not one of the best in the afc. We lack stars that can take over a game. Problem is drafting. How many draft picks have been wasted on average nfl players?
This year will be exactly like last year. One game we look awful, one game we look amazing. And a bunch of mediocre games that leads to 9-8, 8-9, 10-7 at best. If we looked this bad against KC and was game 1, we could blame it on superior talent and feel okay. This game was against one of the worst teams in the league. You can say “if we didn’t drop the TD or have fumbles we would have won”. The game shouldn’t have even come to that. This type of game should have been 31-17, not even close. We got out matched in all 3 phases.
It’s going to be a long season. I’ve said it all off season, this team did NOT improve in the offseason. Especially on defense. But also on offense. Everyone says Burrow should make average receivers look good. Why? Why is that true? He’s not Brady and he’s not Mahomes. He’s quite far away from that tier. He’s a top 5-7 in league but he’s not at the level where he can mask all the flaws on this roster.
