While I agree Cooks is gonna be awesome, it's not like he's coming in and is gonna be the top receiver on the team day 1. Graham will get the lions share when it comes to looks, and Colston will still get his. That's why I think his odds are what they are.

But can't wait to watch this kid on the field for us. Gonna be a really fun season. We improved a good bit on both sides of the ball. Which is crazy when you think about it. This could be our most talented and balanced team on both sides of the ball we have ever had.

This, if our offense improves even just a little bit we will be playing in the NFC championship game easily. Jairus Byrd will wreck shite this year

I agree that this is the most likely reason, but this is not how it will play out. Colston will see a drop in his receptions and production this year. Graham will definitely still get his, but Cooks will be the #2 in terms of receptions. Paeyton will be getting the ball in his hands a lot, and he will be put in positions to make many plays. Unless he is a genuine bust or suffers some major injury, he will have a breakout rookie year.

The Mora defenses were the best ever (an argument in favor of the 2009 defense would be reasonable as well), but I have to agree that this maybe the most balanced team overall.

Two big "ifs":

If the defense can improve over last season, and

If we can find a legit running game (especially on the road),

this team is going to be hard to beat.
