Care to elaborate?

Haha sure

Lets face it, last season we should have been a 1-3 win team.  We had so little talent it was ridiculous.  We overachieved by winning 5 games and almost winning another 7 more.  Was it coaching?  Maybe, I don’t know.  Regardless, the fact that we overachieved while putting together a nice off-season set even higher expectations for the fan base for this year.  Are we a better team this season?  Yes.  Do we still have holes?  Yes.  
 

Bottom line - on paper we should have been a 3 win team last year.  This year on paper we should be a 6-7 win team.  Next year the real expectation is that we are a 10+ win team.  
 

Getting ahead of schedule last year with a putrid team made us fans want and expect even more this year.  Fact is we are still 7 starters away (OT, OG, OG, C, QB, MLB, S) from being competitive week in and week out.  Needing to still upgrade at 7 of 22 starting positions should make us a sub .500 team.  Our expectation should have always been 6-7 wins this year…an improvement over year 1 where we somehow won 5 games with a roster needing over a dozen upgrades.  
 

This was always a three year process. We will end the year with a better record than we had last year.  And we will end next year in even better shape than this year.

I'll refer you to:

 

I did read that - and agree with some content.  But the author contradicts himself.   He claims in one regard that there are a ton of talented and smart players on the roster, then claims Tepper and Rhule haven’t done anything yet to solve the problems here they inherited.    
 

This team was in cap hell with very little talent in 2018.  We have at least assembled a roster that shows promise.  We have to fix the OL and QB positions.  But not much more.  2 years ago we had to fix everything but RB.

    • And that makes you right. 
    • Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious. 
    • We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
