A few things I think

I have two separate tiers of concern, and QB has been the consistent weakness on this team for years. At least I've seen the D be a lot better with largely the same personnel, and there's reason to believe that the talent can produce if they keep their collective head out of their ass. Hope the Gus change and the heat they're seemingly under from inside and outside the building makes that happen.

AR just has more influence as the QB, and I'll be the broken record... 45% and 12 completions a game can't work.

Fair enough, and totally agree our biggest issue is QB and if AR doesn't significantly improve then any other improvements will be mostly all for not. Hopefully w/ a full, healthy offseason AR can make that 2nd year leap. But I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't .

Significantly upgrading the TEs and getting a good pass catching RB to compliment JT should certainly help him out. I'm sure Ballard realizes this, so hopefully he actually does something about it this offseason.
