[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 780882, member: 1191"] Yes, because of precisely what this thread is about. See below We simply have not built up the reliable depth to return enough production to overcome the schedule we have. I can easily see 4 wins, but a lot of things would have to go right to cross the 6 win threshold. As I said above, this [B][I]might[/I][/B] be the year that everything falls into place and we make the big leap. Nothing precludes that, but to set an arbitrary floor of 6 wins is, IMO, foolishness. We are still developing our younger players, and while we have some truly great pieces in place, we still have holes in the roster. We don't have a proven WR threat returning. Our QB is promising, but has not shown consistency yet. Our defense actually regressed last year, so it's a liability until proven otherwise. Our OL is still a work in progress, and the TE position still needs to grow into its role. On top of that, our kicking game, while it should get better, is wholly dependent on a transfer coming off of an injury and we lost our all world punter who impacted more games than he probably gets credit for. Now, we do have a highly regarded punter coming in, and hopefully the new K settles in just fine. There is a lot of talent across the board at most positions, but most of it is unproven. IMO, setting the floor at 6 wins puts expectations on the coach that just are not reasonable given all that we are going through. But that's just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
