Quote:Apparently your expectations and Gus/Caldwell's expectations are not the same...I will however mention that every year since we started this down hill spiral, we have heard the same thing every year after the draft and FA period..." We are happy with where we are, we got better today, we are comfortable with our recievers, the players look good in practice," et.al and then the season starts and we have the same old stuff as the last year...


I will also say that Caldwell has seemingly drafted well and brought in talented players...In year 3 of a nearly completly gutted roster and rebuild, we should start to see the improvement...I do think this team is much better than when Caldwell stepped in, and I can see improvement, it's just not manifesting in the W column yet...


This is the year the W's must start coming, but I don't think there is a magic number in mind, I think as long as the team is progressing everyone is safe but next year will be the hot seat for Gus...At some point in time the W's will be the measuring stick for progress, but in year 3 I think that as long as we play tight close games, make fewer stupid mistakes, move the chains, and play good defense, the organization will be content

Thank you for you well thought out post. It's one thing to read about overall improvement of the offense but then to see it is another thing. I see a bunch of individual improvement but not as an offense. This offense is still not clicking. With or without the injuries we are being told that the unit as a whole is far ahead. i don't see it. I see a bunch of mistakes. Whiffs on the offensive line, dropped passes, miscommunication on routes. Missed reads. Those are the things that make an offense better. And yet it's not improved. But apparently most on this thread say otherwise.
