I mean, I get it, I'm hopeful that we can seamlessly replace Sanu and Jones without any hiccups, but I don't think its realistic to replace 2 starting receivers (productive ones, whether you admit it or not) at the snap of a finger. Dalton is a cerebral/timing QB. The longer he is with guys, the better he get with them. He will need to start anew with Lafell, Boyd, Core, etc.
Without seeing the product of Boyd in the NFL yet, and the relatively justified concerns regarding Lafell, I think it isn't too much of a stretch to rank us in the 20s before the season where we are now.
As I originally said, I think their ceiling is in the top 10 if they can put it together like you are assuming they will.
You we are really going to miss Sanu's 400 yards and 0 TD . Boyd can easily fill that role. I don't care if he hasn't played in the NFL yet, 400 yards is not hard for a rookie WR to get.
I never said Jones wasn't productive. He's just not as good as what people act like he is. LaFell will be just as productive as Jones. He's already proven that to be the case already with consistently having better stats, and much less injury time.
I'm going to be laughing to myself when in the middle of the season people are saying that we have better weapons than last year.
