While you never take ANY NFL team lightly, if we have any troubles with the worst team in the league who just cut one of the few high talent players on their roster then we don't deserve to be a playoff team and Josh then is 100% out of mvp talk.
Simply put with all the injuries Josh and the offense need to jump out to a quick big lead and put up 30+ minimum and take pressure off the D. Seeing Josh throw for 3-4 and run for one would be nice to see. These are the games the true elite QBs put monster numbers up on. Lets see Josh throw 4 TDs so we can proudly claim that our young QB reached the 20 pass TD mark not even halfway through the season and that he matched last years pass TD total he had the first 15 games by the end
of game #7.
And for cripes sake can you just sign Prince Amukumara and a couple of the following: Mychal Kendricks (tore his acl week 17 last year but he should be getting close to ready), Nigel Bradham, Alec Ogletree, Vontaze Burfict, Aaron Lynch Clay Matthews. Yeah these are guys who likely have lost a few steps but would still be better then what we will be trotting out. Our D is atrocious. Is it coaching, injuries, underperformances, teams solving the scheme, the loss of Jordan Phillips and Star or a combo of all that? Edmunds clearly isn't 100%, Addison is at least putting up #s but Oliver has definitely underperformed. He should be pushing 10 sacks for this year not the 5 he did as a rookie
