Man.
I don't think anyone expects a Superbowl next year. You get the basic core moving forward and then just upgrade each year moving forward. Making sure Fields is the guy was always the first step.
Team is this devoid of talent this year and still has been in every game. So they have something to grow on here.
100% correct. Right not they are building a foundation for what is to come. They need quite a bit but have the money and some draft picks to build with. Watching Josh Fields yesterday was fun. He is starting to "get it" and certainly has some natural athletic abilities that truly are special. And he isn't getting clobbered or putting himself into situations where he is going to get injured.
Next year is where their GM needs to prove himself with the draft and free agency. I'd say that 6-8 new starters are necessary. Two offensive linemen, a big play tight end, two receivers, A defensive tackle and middle line backer. Also a legitimate kick returner.
