I am going to define “a breakout season” as this: Reaching at least the Conference championship game or better for the first time in a quarter century.
So with that definition in mind, I’m going to list 3 reasons why we WILL have a breakout year, followed by 3 reasons we won’t have a breakout season.
3 REASONS WHY WE WILL
- Dak’s return plus a healthy offensive line for a full season makes this offense more potent than ever.
- Big Mac makes better in game decisions and Kellen Moore has grown after his first year as OC into an excellent offensive mind.
- The addition of Dan Quinn as a quality DC plus adding Parsons’ athleticism, plus the growth of several other rookies makes this defense come together late in the season to become a physical, tough defense just in time for the playoffs.
3 REASONS WHY WON’T
- The OL (specifically Tyron Smith) cannot stay healthy, thus making the offense constantly shuffling different OL combos making it difficult for the O to gain continuity and confidence.
- The soft culture and lack of toughness fostered by the Jones meddling continues and the team folds when times get tough.
- The new defense and its new infusion of youth never get it together and it continues to not get TOs, sacks or pressure. Bottom third of the league again in performance.
What you think? Give me your reasons why we will have a breakout season or 3 reasons why we won’t.
Breakout season
1. Dak returns and he picks up we’re he left off minus the turnovers.
2. Zeke returns to being 2016 form and becomes the most feared offensive weapon on the team once again.
3. Tyron, Collins, and Martin play at least 13 games together making our offensive line great again.
Reasons we won’t
1. Season ending Injuries to Dak, Tyron, Martin, Cee Dee, Parsons or multiple injuries to the secondary and defensive line.
2. The WFT makes a trade to get a quarterback (Watson, Rodgers, ex) without giving up anyone on their defense.
3. This one actually will happen, I think the team’s talent is overrated. We will get exposed even if the players are healthy. Dak is a good quarterback but he is not special. Zeke is a fullback now. DLaw is way overrated. Our receivers are good but we have no TO in his prime. The offensive line in depending on 3 guys who have been injured the last two years. Don’t get me started on Jaylon, LVE, Hill, Brown, Lewis and the other misfits on the defense. This team could implode.
Good post brother.
