I mean let's look at it this way.

The offense was 30th in the league in points scored at 19 a game. Healthy Chark, 2nd year Viska, Marvin Jones and Lawrence (light years better than Minshew) will all help move the ball this year.

I'm usually pretty realistic about the team so saying JRob will be better than last year isn't really a stretch for me.

All that's true and he could have a good year but it's not unheard of for a rookie to come in and make a splash and then slow down their second year since the league has learned what they can do.

I also don't completely trust Meyer and Bevell to have patience with him. Robinson's an old school style RB who gets better as he gets more touches and gets in a rhythm. I suspect with Etienne out, they'll look at giving Hyde more of the load and Robinson will have a harder time establishing his rhythm.
