Being only marginally better than last season? Worthy likely has a higher ceiling and more potential than Hardman but he is unlikely, at least for now, to be a 6-8 target a game guy as an option on the majority of passing plays. Rice is better than Rice last season so that's good. Kelce is probably worst though.
But mostly what I’m fearful about is that losing Brown is going to be a major impediment to the offense being noticeably better than last season. He was likely big in our schemes and philosophy. I know we typically struggle vs the Bengals but as of right now I'm not sure what would make me confident we dramatically improve over last season.
What does everyone think? How can we ensure the significant improvement over last season that it seems we might need? [Reply]

I think we won the Super Bowl last season and if you are concerned that we haven't dramatically improved from that position... I don't really know what to tell you. [Reply]
I think we have to differentiate between being worried and being frustrated. Our offense may be frustrating knowing we are capable of so much more. But we will be good enough to still win most of our games especially knowing that our schedule is so front loaded with tough matchups
But we really need to get a vertical option. Badly. And I think that will take a lot of time to get worthy there [Reply]
Very worried about the defense though. Losing Sneed and Gay was going to result in a step back but personally didn't expect it to be so significant. [Reply]
