We shall see how it goes. But even when this offense gets kicking, I don't know that we will ever really see one consistent #1 with all the weapons we currently have. That's a whole lot of mouths to feed. Which isn't necessarily a bad problem, until its time to resign guys. I like all of our current guys and would hate to see us lose any, but its the nature of the game. 

I just hope Baalke keeps this in mind. Players with the mindset of being a "team player" should be who we are looking to go after in the draft or F/A. We aren't gonna be able to pay everyone their full worth or more, in some cases each year.

The problem with the offense not hitting on all cylinders is not the ballhandlers. It is the fact that our O line, particularly the interior, has been trash. That’s about to improve. Getting Little back and adding Cleveland makes a big difference. The weak link is Fortner. He straight up needs to be replaced in the off season.

If the improved line gives Trevor .5 more seconds, the routes will fully develop and he won’t have to rush his reads or run for his life. THEN watch this offense!  It’s going to be a thing of beauty.

Yeah - I've long held this opinion. The OL issues neuter the potential of offense. Run and pass. 

There are other problems at times, but this is the primary reason our pass game hasn't really blown up yet. 

Imagine what it would look like if ETN didn't have to create 80% of his lanes by breaking tackles or redirecting the intended play. 
Imagine what it would look like if Trevor had a pocket to step into.
Imagine what it would look like if the QB wasn't taking a shot or avoiding one on half of the plays requiring 2 measly seconds.
