What would our record be right now if we signed a good WR during offseason

I think we still would've been pretty awful. We dont have a QB that can get the ball to a WR properly. It isnt about the WR, though. It's mainly about the vet leadership that we're lacking. Some of us on here wanted to add a Vet QB during the offseason. If we did that, that could've probably tacked on a few more wins.

Now, I'm ready for Fox to go just like most people on this board are, but I think if this was a traditional John Fox team, then we could've very well been at .500 now. This season we're going through now, isnt due to the lack of a WR. We would've still been awful

There were quite a few great/noticeable WRs on free agency during the offseason such as Boldin, Marshall & even TO. What do you think our record would be right now if JR had not been so cheap & we had signed one of them? I say 4-5; would have upgraded our offense, cause less coverage on Smith & more passing.

uh, 1-8?

    • Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4
    • Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.    
    • Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
