I love your positivity but I think it is going to be at least 2 more years and probably 3 years before this team
might be contending for a playoff spot. Right now they might have 10-12 players on their entire roster who are good enough to be part of the teams future.
So basically they are going to have to find about 40 NFL type players over the next few years just to have a chance at being a playoff contender. They have the worst overall roster in the league at this time and that isn’t something you fix in one off season.
Assuming they have a great draft that gets them 5-6 players who can come in and play next season and they add a few quality free agents, they might win 6-7 games in 2020. They then have to back that up with another great draft in 2021, including finding a franchise QB within the next two years.
If they can have two great drafts, sign several talented free agents and finally find their future QB, then I can see them becoming a contender by 2022. Of course Grier is going to have to do a lot better job drafting players and signing free agents than we have seen from this organization over the past two decades. If not, we will be right back in this same situation a few years from now.
if it takes us another three years to contend for a playoff spot then we failed big time
