2017, we went into the season thinking we were pretty talented, but not AFC Championship Talented. We had Jackson, just signed Calais and Bouye. Ramsey, Jack, Yannick, and Telvin leading the way. Savy NFL veterans in Lewis and Poz. On Offense we had special niche players like Yeldon, Grant, and Hurns.  We even had Cole and Westbrook who were making impressive plays. We had who everyone considered to be the worst starting QB in the NFL. Yet, we still made the championship game and were a missed fumble call away from being in a SB. 

Hell in 2018, we started 3-1

Now, flash forward two years... and it feels like WAY too much of a rapid decline. On defense we lack a true playmaker (looks like Ramsey will probably get his wish and be out of here), On Offense we lack protection on our bookends, we lack a TE of any kind, resigning of Lee was a waste of money, Norwell was a huge waste of money, we are MISSING Yeldon and Grant, and our D looks like they are all Calais' age. If it weren't for Minshew, this season would be very abysmal. 

Are we just a young team? Or has bad FA and unlucky injuries been our misfortune? 
//
Going into the rest of the year, who are the 4 players that can be the foundation of this franchise???: 

Minshew, Chark, Fournette, and ... (Ramsey?, Ngakoue? Jack? Taven Bryan?) 

we don't have very many play makers on either side of the ball and Its showing.
