The idea that a team who lost their QB, top WR, one of their top pass rushers, their 1st round pick for half the year and almost their whole LB group for substantial time has the ceiling of being the exact same next year is HILARIOUS! I mean the ceiling! Not what could happen but saying all those would have made no difference this year.
It really does have me splitting up.
Drink the kool aid my man. Same as you have the last 3 years when they won 6, 7, and 6 games. But let's analyze exactly who they lost. Average Andy. Their first round pick who struggled when he did play. Their whole LB group who wasn't any good when they were on the field. I'll give you AJ obviously.
There is no reason to believe this team who hasn't come remotely close to the playoffs the last 3 years is suddenly a playoff contender without them being aggressive to fill all the holes on this team. They need at least two quality starters on the O-line, 2 starters at LB, a slot corner if they let Dennard walk, and a threat at TE. And AJ will be 31 coming off surgery, Geno and Dunlap will be 30+. At what point do aging players start to see production drop off.
There are no more 2 gimmie wins vs the Browns as in the past. It's a 6 win team until I see reason to believe otherwise.
