Quote:Agreed, but there's nothing to indicate that these things won't go right for the team.  It's all a wait and see game, but with the young players getting much needed playing time, and already starting to contribute, all signs are pointed in the right direction so far.  It may not be much fun right now, but there are bright spots, and hopefully that will continue to expand as the season winds down.  There's a lot of youth on the field contributing right now.  Experience will breed consistency. 

 

I agree the early experience for the young players is helpful.  However, I do not agree that "all signs are pointed in the right direction right now."

 

BB is an unknown...

Bowanko is an unknown...

Colvin shows promise early...

Hurns shows promise...

M Lee shows promise...

Linder looks good early...

T Smith shows early promise...

Cyp needs to be replaced or drastically improve...

Ryan Davis shows promise...

Evans needs to be replaced...

Gratz needs to be replaced...

Joeckel is a question mark at best right now...

McCray shows promise...

Pasztor needs to be replaced...

DRob is a solid RB...

Sanders needs to be cut...

 

There's a lot of "potential" there.  My hope is that the 2014 draft class lives up to some of it better than it looks like the 2013 class is so far.

 

If Caldwell has drafted better in 14 then he did in 13 then we could see improvement in a year or 2.  If he didn't, well, then we will see another rebuild in the coming years.
