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?

 

In short. Yes. I am impressed the defense has played so well this year with so much new blood on it. And with a new coordinator trying to piece all of that together. Wash has actually pleasantly surprised me. Granted, we still have eleven games to go this year. But the offense still needs a lot of work. We've been in some close games. We had the Packers and Ravens within one score to take the lead and win it. We just need to get the running game more consistent and we need Olson to stop trying to make Bortles a pocket passer and let the kid run around with bootlegs, fakes and so forth. He's better outside of the pocket than he is inside of the pocket.
