Quote:There are some good young weapons on this offense.  They need to bring in a veteran receiver to help that group, but I think the focus will shift to something sort of like what they're running in Seattle, but that's going to require an upgrade in the backfield. 

 

The draft is going to present them with some opportunities to upgrade the running game, and if they are able to make that happen, it will go a long way in fixing this offense. 

 

Bortles is athletic like Wilson, but he's also got the kind of size that makes him more prototypical for NFL QBs.  He's working with his receivers this off season, so he's going to do his part to develop the kind of chemistry needed to be effective in the passing game.  Still, I'd love to see them bring in that reliable veteran receiver or TE who has proven they can be a consistent, effective outlet for a QB.  That will take the pressure off the young guys and allow them to develop while still giving Bortles a go to guy. 

 

Despite the struggles in 2014, there's a lot to like about where the team is headed.  They've identified some young play makers who will hopefully continue to develop.  They have more than enough cap space to fix the bigger issues in protection and the passing game, and the draft picks can help boost the effectiveness of the running game. 
It's very confusing because we need a veteran receiver, but at the same time we have so many WR's especially if Blackmon returns. Hypothetically speaking if he did, and we added a vet WR, Hurns would literally be our 5th wr and would not see playing time, not to mention AROB would probably be the 4th and also not really see playing time. Only in that scenario. But I do agree a veteran WR can take a struggling offence to somewhere it needs to be.

Arguably... the best owner.

Kurt warner is one of those guys that is a student of the game. He isn't just the naturally gifted guy that came in and lit it up.


He practiced hard and it took him a long way to get to where he was.


I have tons of respect for the guy and if he is helping mentor blake, I think that's a tremendous asset.
Coughlin when asked if winning will be a focus: "What the hell else is there? This is nice and dandy, but winning is what all this is about."
