As the article states, there are 6 players who are brimming with talent that they did not consider in the ranking due to the fact that they're rookies or were injured in their rookie year last year (Ross, Mixon, Willis, Lawson, Billings, Jackson).
I am confident in the talent level of the team.
But none of that really matters if your QB doesn't have time to throw, your Oline can't open holes for your RBs and your WRs can't make up the difference with quick routes that generate separation off the snap.
Our defense looks really strong though and will only get better when Burfict returns.
We still have an outside chance at making the playoffs if 1. Ogbuehi drastically improves (he won't) or 2. Ogbuehi is replaced with someone who is merely "serviceable" I.E. gives up a pressure/sack only half the time, rather than every single snap.
