The weaknesses we see now may not be next year. Looking forward we could use 2 more players on the DL, a Safety to take over when Byard leaves, a center, another TE, another WR if Allen leaves.

I think Pettis is being overlooked, he can contribute on special teams and as a WR.  He was brought in last year but got injured.  He's only 28 years old with 4.32 speed. Jones is the same and both have speed. Scott underperformed and will show what he is this year. We have enough options that someone will shine and be considered # 4.

and remember no team's roster is ever perfect or complete.

Look at the Chiefs awful OL this year for example.

What it comes down to is a QB, someone to catch the ball, and a defense to stop the other QB.

From that point of view we are in great shape. The QB has amazing potential, but is young. Thats gonna be good to start and get better over time.

As for someone to catch the ball we have an embarrassment of riches.

And the defense is pretty good, although we really do still need another pass rusher, and for Dexter or someone to collapse the pocket from the middle.

Our window is either open, or about to.

After all these years, and having to root for players that just werent good enough - thank the football gods.

P.S. Obviously every position is important. Football is the ultimate team game. And if you have decent players around, that helps, and awful players can sink you, but most (all?) super bowl winning teams had superstars and also not so great players on their rosters. No roster is ever perfect, and if you have a great QB, someone to catch the ball and a defense, you can build around that.
