We have clearly improved

[tomson75]

Have we?

Clearly

 

[realtick]

Never believe anyone who has to name themselves "Real" or "Reality."

It is 100% proof that they are lying. Anyone who is truly real never has to say it.

Oh and BTW, no one has even come close to responding to my reasons. We will be better. No doubt

Wow, that was pretty witty...

You had points?

I imagine arguing with your points would be like debating a believer in a flat-Earth.

Where does one even begin?

 

[realtick]

I can't believe all these 7-9 and 6-10 projections. Let's not forget, this team was a stupid Roy play away from 6-2 under Garrett LAST YEAR.

I don't think this team is a 6-10 team, but I would say they're likely a 8-8 to 10-6 team at best, IMO.

Romo > Kitna, huge improvement

Okay, I'll grant you that in general. Although, the team was what, 1-4, 1-5, with Romo last season.

Choice/Murray > Barber, again big

All of the running backs struggled last year, the statistics bare that out. You have nothing to base your conclusion regarding Murray being an improvement outside of pure optimism. The real issue is the offensive line, not the running back group.

Smith/Holland > Colombo/Bigg, should be big as well

In concept perhaps. But again, you're uber optimistic about Smith, a rookie with an abreviated training camp and Holland, who's apparently out of shape from all reports. Smith is going to have growing pains, it's simply going to happen.

TE/FB -- Chapas and Phillips > Gronk and Whoever

Phillips, yes. Chapas, you have nothing to base that off of.

Bailey > Buehler

Lol, really? You're basing this off of three days of training camp (really two days when you originally wrote this). IIRC, your boy Bailey went 2-6 today.

Lee with another year and Carter > Brooking (esp on the nickle)

First, Carter isn't even practicing. Second, he's coming in as a rookie playing in a new scheme at a new position (43 'backer at North Carolina).

The safeties we sign (probably Elam and another) > Ball by far

Remains to be seen.

CB is about the same, but Ball as 4th CB > McCann

Okay, I'll agree with that. But then again, the 4th corner is not going to play a huge role with the main defensive unit. In contrast, a guy like Asomugha will now be a starter with Philly. So Ball > McCann is not a huge improvement in the grand scheme of things.

Not to mention, we have Rob Ryan > Wade -- this is huge! Our D will not be predictable.

I agree, our defense will not be predictable, which is a good thing.

Spears and Lissemore were injured at the time ... Now we have them and Coleman. We lost Bowen, but this is probably a push overall for Dline.

I don't see how you would conclude it's a push. Ryan was in love with Bowen for a reason and we lost him. Spears is a good run stopper, so that remains status quo. Banking on Lissemore for anything is pure speculation.

WR? We lost Roy, but we lost Dez during that time and he is more seasoned now. Maybe a slight downgrade...

Dez playing as your #2 is an improvement, but I would say maybe the team's overall WR took a slight hit. Although, I wouldn't argue it too much.

Only spots we are potentially worse are Dline and WR, and both of these are minimally worse. We lost 1 1/2 sacks from Bowen and Roy's 20 catches and 20 drops. Whoopie!

Bowen wasn't a starter the entire year, and was likely being looked at a starter this season had he stayed. Also, minimizing Bowen's impact to just 1.5 sacks is offbase. He was near the team lead in QB pressures. When contrasted to his number of snaps, he was pretty impactful. Spears is not a pressure player and neither is Kenyon Coleman.

So, we were 5-3, almost 6-2, under Garrett, we have all these improvements, plus an easier schedule. Seems to me like big improvement, not another 6-10 season.

We were 5-3 under Garrett.

I'm not interested in joining your flat-earth society message board. I don't care how many "earther" point you might have gotten for bringing me in.

Hahahaha!!!!! This is getting funnier. I can't believe you're still adversely reacting to me.
