The only reason I don't like 2017 is because we had a great defense and a streaky offense. We built the defense but didn't really work the development on offense. They got tunnel vision and melted it down.

I like the treadmill analogy because it is just chasing and not executing a plan.

The plans we see strongly supported are facilities and pet projects. Putting the cart before the horse. No on field goals.

I hope there is a way out but Meyer and Baalke don't look the part. Have to wait again.

I don't know if I agree that they didn't have a plan for offense.

They drafted the LT in 2013, drafted a QB 3rd overall, two WRs in the 2n round, and a C in the 3rd round in 2014, and brought in Cann and Parnell in 2015.

I think the plan didn't work, mostly because of Bortles failure to develop into a good QB.

Lee was a guy, but Robinson wound up being a very good WR.  Add Hurns to the mix, and Bortles had targets with which to throw.

Bortles had a decent OL in front of him by 2017 when Joeckel was replaced at LT by Cam Robinson and Marrone became head coach.

They had an offensive plan, but it didn't work as hoped.  Conversely, the defensive plan exceeded all realistic expectations by Telvin Smith's development, the addition of Malik Jackson, Campbell and Bouye in free agency, and drafting Ramsey, Jack and Ngakoue in 2016.
