There is really a vast number of things that this team needs to do to stay afloat. Before I address those things, a few points about the season:
1) I have said since week 3 that Frank needs to relinquish his play calling duties. He called a few nice games but overall really fucked this team over as a whole by his stubborn, bone-headed, predictably unpredictable play calling. By seasons end, this become SO obvious.
2)We should have made the smart decision while we had the chance/excuse to do so....we Should have opened this season with Wentz on IR. He was injured. If we had done that, we could have also sat him for the week he got COVID and we would have had our top 20 pick back, insured ourselves against the (inevitable) chance that Wentz turned out to be the turd he is, and also saved face in regards to the optics of sitting Wentz for a legitimate reason. Shit we lost the first 4 games anyway.
3)Our receiving targets are shit. Pittman is a solid WR2. We need a WR1, WR3, TE 1 AND TE2.
4)We need 2 solid corners and a pass rusher on D, maybe 2. And a more aggressive scheme. that's about it.
In my view, and literally the only thing that can assist to helping us out of this mess, is:
TRADE BIG Q! TRADE BIG Q! Use the money elsewhere for his contract, attain likely a first rounder, and have Chris Reid take his spot.
I love Q, but he is expendable and we have proven to be okay without him in the lineup. Literally the only guy right now that might score us a high pick back.
We also MUST bring in a veteran QB to compete for the starter spot next year ALA Dalton, Minshew, etc.
Free Agents that I would try and bring in are:
Winston, Foles, Mariota, Trubisky. All somewhat young and could possibly pull a Tannehill and re emerge.
