Ok, we'll see how he plays with an improved OL and the benefit of being in the same system for 2 years in a row. I'm betting on marked improvement.

I think JC showed such a sizable improvement last year, that there is no way he hit his ceiling in terms of potential. Like you mentioned, the entire offense struggled, so we can't put all the blame on JC. He certainly has some blame there, but when other teams figured us out, it was only natural that JC had difficulty. He WILL be better this year. So yes, I'd put him on the "step up" list, but I KNOW he will.
