Tom,

You maybe correct, however, I will reserve my judgment after I see who is on our OL, who our starting RB is and how much both of our QBs improved from last year. Could Rex still be inconsistent, bad .. or however you want to describe him?  Yes, but if we are in more manageable 3rd downs due to improved playcalling, better execution and less OL penalties I would hope for improvement from whomever is behind center.

Always optimistic in May!!
