This team has a ton of elite POTENTIAL, but simply cannot be called elite until they've proved they can consistently perform at that level. I am 100% behind this draft, and I do firmly believe this team will become elite - but it's not there yet. I would caution everyone to remain optimistic but reasonable. Rome wasn't built in a day, and we won't be either - but we're damn sure putting good work in. I am expecting 8-8 or 9-7 this year. Next year, I think, once these new guys have some experience is when we can probably start expecting elite.

 

That said, if Bortles can put out the same performance as 2015 with half the interceptions, I believe we may be even closer than that.
