Quote:This is a young team with a lot of upside but are we the fans expecting too much from them, since this is a very inexperienced team still learning how to gel with one another. How much time does a young team need to mature?

That is a big factor...Some posters think that the rookies are supposed to come in playing better than seasoned vets and make all the difference in the world...some see big named vets on the roster and think that you can just throw a bunch of good players together and have them play together as if they played together forever...Some think that because we are in year 4 the players should all be set and playing like pro bowlers...

 

Now that being said...There is a lot of talent on the roster, but I believe this year they are playing as they should have been playing last year other than at QB who seems to have regressed...There was a thread prior to the start of the season something like how we thought this season would go...I said I thought we would start out slow and get better as we went along and finish the season strong, but most felt as if we were going to be bad [BLEEP] from the first kick off...

 

We see every year after the draft, people saying we will be great this year, and have very high expectations, only to fall far short...

 

I think we should be better than we are, but not as good as most people believe...I think 7-9 is where we will be
