Usual corona caveats aside, so assuming there is a season, where do you see this team and what are your priorities?
After the last 20 years, I’m more SB or bust and I don’t think this team has the meat for that, especially with a better AFC East and two apparent juggernauts in KC and Baltimore.
That said, I’d love for this year to be about seeing what the team has and developing the players that can be part of the future. So, if Stidham can be very good down the road, I’d rather an 8-8 year with him than a 9-7 one off with Dalton or Newton to maybe snag the last wild card spot.
I’m not saying tank and I’m not saying throw young guys in strong currents with no paddle, but I hope the focus is on the next leg of the dynasty and I really don’t mind a middling season (or 2?) as a bridge.
Also, sweep the Jets.
