This is fine, nothing to be up in arms about.... If Blake doesn't improve, he and Caldwell most likely will be gone before the option even gets used anyways..... If he plays a ton better, we get a cheaper following year before having to re-sign him to a bigger contract.

Let's all be real here, Blake's not a horrible QB. Did he play very badly last year, yes. But we all know that there was a multitude of things wrong with the offense last year (coaching staff, *cough* *cough*); not to mention Hurns and Robinson didn't really bring their A game. Add on the O-line struggles with the horrible running, nobody on offense really played that well (minus Lee for the most part). We have added a lot of the missing pieces on offense and have added better leadership and coaching personnel and I see a big change in offense this year. Let's hope that the defense doesn't slip (like every year we go through; offense plays well, defense sucks it up and reverse...).

Did Gabbert or Henne, heck even Garrard and Leftwich ever put up offensive numbers like Blake has? We just need to see from him better decision making and less turn overs, and he'll be good to go. I think our team is in very good shape now. Let's just hope they get it together on Sundays....
