jahnyc Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 In looking at our prospects in an objective manner, it is difficult to come up with a scenario where this team will have a winning record this season. I am expecting much worse. We have a rookie QB who missed a good part of the preseason, a mess of a secondary, particularly with Gilmore out of action for a significant period, a rookie starting at MLB flanked by castoffs from other teams, an inexperienced group of WRs after Stevie, and a weakened o-line with the loss of Levitre. With all of these potential negatives, what I hope for from this team is better coaching, particularly on defense, a QB who will flash athletic talent and leadership abilities, an aggressive defense, a group of WRs that will show speed and quickness, and overall improvement as the season progresses. Clearly, we deserve better after 13 years of ineptitude, but if the team can show progress and give us comfort that we have the right coaches and QB for long-term success, at least we can hold on to some optimism if it is a difficult season. It also would be nice if EJ outperforms Geno Smith this year.

There is talent on this team and they would need to perform to their expectations. I don't care what Geno Smith does.
