Green and Boyd. Mixon and a good secondary. Also Dunlap and Geno.  We need an upgraded offensive line and an athletic LB and I think this team is ready to win. 

The Jets were bad before Bowles got there. The Broncos and Cardinals had horrible QB situations. The Dolphins did make the playoffs a couple of years ago but they did not seem like a playoff team to me. Dalton > Tannehill in my book.

I think the biggest problem with this team is complacency and attitude. I think a younger head coach will inject some life into this team and this city.

Completely agree.  I've seen a bunch of posts stating it's time for a rebuild.  Good grief we've got good players in their prime.  What better opportunity for a new coach to come in than with a seasoned QB.  It's not like he's prepping a rookie from day 1.  On offense he's got AD, AJ, Boyd, Mixon and hopefully Eifert, Kroft and Uzo again.  Pollack in year 2 with the line and the ability to maybe get some help and the offense is in dang good shape.

Defensively a different story.  I don't expect Taylor to do much here, it's not his wheelhouse.  A good DC coordinator is paramount.  But the HC can bring a different mindset which can also help.

I see no reason why this team can't compete in the AFC North.  I'm not sold on Lamar Jackson like others here.  He will be exposed, the Chargers proved that.  Pitt is Pitt, good but getting old and probably without AB.  The Browns I think are going to be the big dog in the years to come.  So we'll see.  Just my 2 cents...
