I hope so, but there's also reason to believe they will see continued progression from their young players. Their offense is still potentially dangerous and they have some good pieces on defense. And most of all, they're set at QB for the foreseeable future.

The amount of cap space allotted to Mack and Carr will make their drafts even more important and more difficult.

What if Mack suffers a 20 game injury like Houston did?

Their defense falls apart.

We've already seen the 3-13 team without Carr.
