PFF - have y'all seen this

Did we upgrade at DT? That is very much debatable.

Did we upgrade at WR? Only if Michael Thomas is healthy for the first time in three years.

We did likely improve at RB…but only if Kamara isn’t suspended.

Our upgrade at TE had lymphoma diagnosed a few months ago. He should be fine.

I personally don’t mind the skepticism…they’ve earned that the past few years. We still have big question marks all over the field…we’ll need to have a lot fall into place to get to 10 wins. First things first, Carr has to look much better than he did last season.
Right...for all of our excitement for grabbing Carr we completely ignored that he was the 21st ranked QB last year according to NFL.com and not highly per most other "experts". Is it a bogus ranking...maybe, but that is how folks saw him...and that ranking is only 1 spot ahead of the red rocket, in most eyes we've only marginally improved at QB.

We're not going to be viewed as a contender just off GP, we have to prove it. Allen isn't a known winner, Carr isn't either at the pro level...they have to do the work.
