Sort of calls into question the legitimacy of the whole article doesn’t it?Quote:

Having the highest average player rating means we got some quality players. I'll take quality over quantity every time.
It's been a decade since we had an air attack .. If the article is true I'm so ready
You ain't lyingQuote:

Plus the article highlights how much we have coming back.
10 win season should be doable as long as we take care of business and the new QB is somewhat competent.
Defense should lead us this year mainly with our receivers a close second.
…….Too bad they left out mentioning our starting QB….well, my choice!Quote:

A 10 win should be the goal, but it's probably more realistic to look for an 8 or 9 win season with a first year head coach and fairley young staff.Quote:

Big mistakeQuote:

When I mentioned that on the board most folks laughed and even one poster wanted to bet me 10K that wouldn't happen. I think he is glad that I don’t bet.Quote:

As far as the article, it was well done and had some good depth. I like Coach Des wanting to open up the passing game some. Hopefully, the defense can maintain the intensity and high level of play we've seen in the past few years. It was crucial in our success.
8 wins is the absolute floor of this team.Quote:

10 wins is easy with this schedule.
The RB room was gutted. Hence, the need to air it out. There’s a giant hole in the middle of the defense. Unproven QBs. Etc. Etc.Quote:

Let’s dial it down a little. A winning season would be a good outcome. Anything above that is gravy. I like gravy.
RPCA..just can't control themselves...Quote:

And then you have Orphey who I heard looked great in spring practice.Quote:
