Matt Rhule is right though, we are so freakin close, if Baker and this offense could just start clicking, we would be unstoppable.

I know, it’s a meme at this point, but if somehow, some way Baker could just snap out of this funk or whatever it is he is going through and start playing better and if Mcadoo can figure out some way to call better plays, we would be so damn unstoppable with this defense that we have. 

I will say that we do at least seem to fix glaring bad spots. The first two weeks we had a lot of fumbled snaps and a lot of batted passes, we seemed to fix those issues. 

I don’t know what it’s going to take, maybe Shinault will be that missing piece that jump starts is, because Baker and DJ Moore just don’t seem to click, if we can just get somewhat better at the passing game to go along with our stout running game les by CMC and our D keeps playing at this level, there is absolutely no reason for us to not be a contender.

Just now, Pejorative Miscreant said:

So basically, if players play better, and coaches call better plays, the team will be better.

sounds reasonable to me.  

But for us in particular it’s the difference between bottom dwellers and contenders. Literally the only thing this team is missing is a passing game. 
 

special teams? Check. Great D? Check. Reliable kicker? Check. Stout and reliable running game? Check. 
 

we wouldn’t even need an elite passing game, if we could simply just become an average passing team, that would be enough with our D and run game. We don’t need baker to be Brady or rodgers, if he could simply be a Kirk Cousins, that’s all we would need from him.

I hope so.  I'm not quite there with you, but I will say this: Baker has fans from Cleveland.  If this was his normal play, he would not have had ANY fans.  It would've been a universal "He's gotta go!" attitude.

Obviously, he's not looking like our answer at QB right now but I do expect that we'll see a better version of him.  Whether enough to move us to contender?  Like I say, I hope so but I'm not quite there yet.

    • At this point, I think Chubba is the odd man out. I hate that, but I think Dowdle gives us more production and big play ability.  But there is still a lot of football to play.  I think it depends on how much Dowdle will want too.
    • I’ve been anti-trade when it comes to Melo, but the way this season has started, it may be time.  I love his game and he’s a cool dude, but I’m starting to think, if he’s your best player, you’re never going to win anything of significance.  Too many brain farts, too many injuries, and ultimately for as fun and entertaining as he is to watch - his game is indeed a thing of beauty - it just doesn’t translate to wins.  And that’s IF he even plays.  I think it’s time to cash out and maximize the return.  I love Melo, but I think it’s pretty clear what the ceiling is for a team where he is the best player.
    • Every NFL team, college program, hell even HS has numerous "what ifs" that got derailed by injury. It's a brutal sport and half the battle is just getting lucky enough to stay healthy. Doesn't matter how durable you are and how well you take care of your body everyone is one weird hit or awkward twist away from a career derailing injury.
