I think that the Steelers are going to take a step back next year. They lost their clutch TE, and #2 receiver. Plus Bell is made of glass, and their OL is getting old as dirt. They don't have a very good defense either. I think their offense might be a little better than average, but I don't think that it's going to be anything great.
I don't think that the Ravens will be that much better than they were last year. Their #1 receiver is the oldest receiver in the league, their #2 receiver is washed up (Mike Wallace), and they have suspect TEs / running game. Their defense is getting old, and I think it's just going to be mediocre next year.
The Browns are the Browns. I don't think that Hue is going to transform the team instantly. I think that if they gave him a few years he might be able to do something, but right now that team is such a dumpster fire I don't think anyone can help them.
I think the Steelers could win 9 games next year but that shouldn't be anywhere close to good enough to win the Division.
We are definately the team to beat in the AFC North. Steelers still have a good passing game and a decent running game
even without Bell. Their Defense like you said is nothing special anymore and i don't think FA or the draft helped them any.
The Ravens were decimated by injuries so it is hard to tell if they will be good. I will just assume they will be and go around
.500. Not good enough to win the Division either. We should win around 11 to 13 games this season.
Like you said the Browns are the Browns and they lost lots of their good players, rebuild mode.
Overall, not a weak Division cause 3 teams should atleast be around .500.
