[QUOTE="redmule, post: 34644, member: 1338"] The question is, "Will we be better?" You can't separate qb play from the ol, so lets's start there first. We lost a lot of talent on the ol, but that talent wasn't on the field, healthy, or playing in their natural position for much of the year. So 'will we be better' must be measured against what actually happened rather than the skill set of the players leaving. With the caveat of fewer injuries, then I think the argument can be made that the odds of us having better ol play this year are pretty good. The same rationale applies to wr. Transfers and injuries really set us back last year especially early when the schedule was brutal. This year, again with the caveat of injuries, the wr corps will be better and deeper. Poor Vad had a patchwork and inexperienced ol and wr for much of the year. Obviously, the same thing could happen to Thomas, but this year's potential versus last year's reality (and that is all we can argue right now) suggests a better supporting cast for the starting qb. Additionally, I think there is no doubt that Thomas's skill set is better matched to the TO than Vad's, so CPJ will undoubtedly be more comfortable in his game planning and play calling. I guess I'm saying last year's offense was an experiment at qb that never had a chance to succeed given the injuries and issues at ol and wr. Measured against these realities, I think we will be better at the qb position than we were last year. [/QUOTE]
