Tyrod isn't the long-term answer and it won't prevent them from drafting a QB 1st, Randall is a solid CB but nothing great, and Landry he is good but he is not great either.
- Solid stopgap QB + top QB prospect
- A full season of Josh Gordon, who proved he still has it last year
- A solid starting CB
- Landry has made 3 Pro Bowls in 4 years, averaging 100 catches for over 1000 yards - this is better than good IMO
- They added Todd Haley as OC - a guy who has been extremely successful
- That's not even getting to the young talent they've stockpiled or the top picks they have this year, one of which will probably be Barkley
Let me stress this: No one has said they're "over the top" or anything of the sort. I don't think they're a threat to the Steelers. I'd put their over/under at 7.5 wins. I could easily see them going 7-9. Possibly better if everything clicks perfectly. I just think the days of an automatic 2 wins vs the Browns may be over.
