Jameis Christ, 58.3% completion, 4037 passing yards, 22 TDs to 15 INTs....not bad for a rookie 21 year old QB.
Doug E. Fresh had an excellent year, 1402 rushing yards, we definitely need to re-sign him & I like the pairing of him with Charles Sims III
Mike Evans also had a really productive season, 1206 receiving yards on 16.3 ypc in only 14 games, but like you said the drops HAVE to go. Jax just fell off this season, but I think it was due more to injury than his skill diminishing. I really wanna see Evans, Jax, ASF all healthy and with Jameis Christ for 16 games. We do need a slot WR though. Somebody brought up Travis Benjamin before in here, I wouldn't mind seeing how he would fit with us
"Hit The Kwon" Alexander and Lavonte "Baby Derrick Brooks" David have me happy for our future at LB....we just need another OLB to step up and take the spot opposite David. "The Real McCoy" and "Young Joc" Smith had nice seasons imo, but I want to add another DE. Michael Bennett should be back in Pewter next season.
The rest of the defense though, we really need a #1 CB and a good safety in the secondary to improve our pass defense. The run defense wasn't bad (we finished Top 10 in the NFL in run defense), but we gotta stop letting people kills us in the air.
All in all, this was the best losing record season we had in a minute....I kinda feel like we are on the cusp brehs. Reminds me of the season we went 6-10 in 1996 (Dungy's 1st season) and then made a leap the following year. I really think we are a couple pieces away and Jameis, Evans, and Martin are a good set of young triplets we can build around for the future.
