[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 669895"] That's the million dollar question. Unless forced to make premature assessments to fill paid column inches, it would be prudent to suspend judgments until we get a few weeks into the season. In preseason we can get some idea of how guys are shaping up, but I wouldn't put too much stock in how they perform against mostly backups and guys trying to make the squad while playing with the #2 QB. One should proceed with caution, given there's a question mark at every roster spot except one involving catching the football: - Will Nelson be his old self? - Was Cobb hampered by injuries or did he regress under the pressure of the big contract and as the presumptive #1 target? - While Adams was clearly playing on bad wheels last season, will he be healthy and progress from a promising rookie season or is he just a low productivity complementary player? - And as I presciently noted, if I may say so, at this time last season, you cannot expect 48 for 48 games out of the starters. Will Montgomery be ready to go? Will there be a legit deep threat on the bench (Janis? Davis?) if Nelson misses games? - Even if the stars align in the WR group, there was a lingering problem in 2013 and 2014, where better secondaries playing 2-high safety were able to stifle the bread-and-butter downfield passing game. Will Cook provide a TE option missing since Finley's departure that can occupy one of those safeties and open up the downfield? And the backups at the position are just guys. - In 2014, Lacy was showing himself to be legit threat out of the backfield. The issue here in 2015 has been commented on ad nauseam. The lone exception to the question mark list is the "overpaid" Starks, a pretty fair receiver in his own right who's coming off a healthy season. I think it is fair to say the odds that all of these question marks will be answered positively is unlikely. The odds that none of them will be resolved is perhaps more unlikely. So the question becomes whether some positive resolutions will be enough. So, PFF's ranking shouldn't be all that much of a surprise. [/QUOTE]
