These 2 points in particular. I like BMitch, but he said something like talent matters more than system/coaching. Sorry, wrong. Talent is a big part but without a way to utilise that talent most effectively, the best roster in the league likely isn't winning it all.

And protecting JD5 is a must. I don't hold with the 'he's too frail' argument, but it will be proven valid if we don't protect him adequately from hits, and more importantly, coach him to look after himself. Get OOB, get rid of the ball, learn how to roll with a tackle to minimise injury risk etc. All of this can be drummed into him with the right teacher. And I'd add a good QB coach (assuming Blough is gone too) can only help.
