1. A confident, accurate Anthony Brown

Last but clearly not least, I want to see an accurate and confident Anthony Brown under center.

I was big on Ty Thompson after a strong fall camp which saw him right in the thick of an intense quarterback battle and now that he’s the backup, it’s time to see what Brown can do. Do I think Brown could have a good season? Absolutely, but I think his ceiling is relatively limited.

But he may not have even reached his potential yet. He has struggled throughout his career with accuracy and many believed he was a run-first dual-threat, but he wants to show that he’s more than that. He needs to have a big opener to really win some fans over.

I’m skeptical, but I can still see the senior quarterback take command of the offense and really show that he’s a confident passer and I want to see that on Thursday afternoon.
