Are they that much better then last season?

We pretty much have no idea.

Tepper wants to keep everything locked down except for a few clips that make everything look like it is going great.

Rhule still wants to be in charge and stage farce competitions. 

We seem to be treading water, but we will have to wait until the real games start to find out for sure.

A team never knows how good it will be until the season starts.  Preseason is more about getting a look at individuals than the team. 

Given our past results, I don't have a lot of hope, but maybe the combination of a new qb, and other new players, as well as some additions to the coaching staff will be enough to make us competitive this year.

We'll find out soon enough. 

They have a better OL. They have a better QB  they have a better secondary. They have a better RB working alongside CMC. They have coaching assistants with actual prolevel experience. 

So that's all good.

But we also have the same guy running the show, so all the improvements might result in going from a 5 win team to a 7 win team....and that's not enough.

Considering the first few games is the softest part of the schedule, if we don't win them we probably won't win much this year and there's very little reason beyond blind optimism to think it will ever get better with Rhule here. The problem is that Rhule says all the right things to the people around him and he's likeable enough that people will overlook the obvious because they still believe in Rhule's potential. 

Regardless of how we do this year, Rhule will still be employed throughout the season.

This forum right now after seeing maybe 15 potential game day players play limited minutes in a meaningless no game plan, vanilla offense and defense play calling game … it’s mind jarring. 
 

if we had played well and won last night…. The inverse of today would be “it’s just preseason, there is no reason to think this team can win 4 or more games this year.”

everything is so spoken matter of factly, when in all reality none of us know how this season will play out.

I think when our 1s and 2s play we have significantly out played our opponents, our 2s played New England's 1s to a draw. I think we will contend for a playoff spot and that people are letting last season and their complete hatred for Rhule cloud what is really happening on the field.
