We need to upgrade atleast 3-4 positions to even start to talk about a Super Bowl...and realistically 5-6.
We need at minimum 4 new offensive lineman or guys that take massive steps forward between now and next year.
We need a WR2 to step up. Maybe it's Ross. No one knows.
We may need a TE. Kroft has been decent. Maybe he's the answer?
We need 2 new starting LB's.
We may need a new DT next to Atkins or Billings to take a major step forward.
It's not even necessarily all that though (Besides the fact we need an OL). Every team has at least 2 weaknesses. But we need coaching that can help mask and scheme around that which we don't have. It's why I liked Hue (Although he's a bad HC which took me too long to fully realize). But as an OC he made sure Andy's strengths were always on display. He spread out the offense, brought out formations that allowed presnap reads to be easier because Andy isn't as great post-snap.
Like if Andy didn't get hurt and we had one more year of Zim for 2015, I think we would have steamrolled through the playoffs
