I just think we will miss Connor Shaw more than most will admit. I thought 2012 was the year for us, and while it was great, we still didn't get over the next hump. (East champs again). The defense will be better in 2014 than it is this year, but I do worry about the offense. Other than Byrd and Ellington, we won't have any reliable WRs for whoever the QB is to throw to. Maybe Shaq Davidson will be more effective than Shaq Roland has been early on, but I keep waiting for that next go to guy like Rice, McKinley, or Alshon to emerge.

The OL and RBs will be at the top of the league, the defense will be better, but I am not sold on the passing game we have for next year. Love Dylan, but I don't think he is the guy to get us over the hump.

We get every single receiver back minus some that don't play due to attrition. Jones, Byrd and Ellington are a quality starting 3 wide receivers, especially since they will all be seniors with a ton of experience next year.
