They didn't duplicate the 2015 year and I don't know if they can duplicate the 2017 year. I'm not worried at all about the defense but the offense worries me. Can Westbrook and Cole take a big leap forward? Can the Oline get better? Will Blake get better? Will Fournette stay healthy? We know ARob can be productive in the right system. I think he would be productive in this system. ARob isn't absolved of everything by any means but in 2016, the entire offense was poop. Now that we have a better running game, ARob would see single coverage which he can beat or they double him which means they don't have 8 in the box. Teams will still stack the box if we don't have a legit passing game.

These are all unknowns and I think having better players will help them get better. I don't want to pay ARob 16 million but I think the club should do whatever they can to sign him to a long term deal. If he wants too much money, let him walk.

You’re last statement is my point. I’m not saying he sucks or that I don’t want him on the team. It just appears that he wants to much money. In the scenario I’m fine with him leaving as I feel the team will still be fine without him. Of course he is talented and I want him here but only at the right number for the team.

Agreed but I think there are a lot of people that are just completely dismissing how much better this team would be with him. He would give Fournette more running lanes and give Blake another redzone option.

I would give him the Adams deal in a heartbeat but we don't know what he's been offered or if he's even been offered anything. Hoping they can strike a deal before March 14th.
