I don't think it's an overstatement to say that a big step forward for Bennett this year is essential for both the player and the team. Can he take that step forward with better coaching (or will the team have better coaching, for that matter), better linemates (still searching for those), physical development, and maturation? Only time will tell.

Regardless, considering how last season went, the only sure thing is that he will be better than anyone we can get in return for him in a trade, and he at least still has the potential to improve. Remember, buy low, and sell high. It's the GMs who remember this simple rule who have long-term success.
