Would u count us out???

[drkmay]

How many of u feel that if some how someway if Matt Moore has a horrible preseason and Jimmy Clausen won the starting job, would any u guys feel like the season was over....

Personally speaking i think we in the same boat either way with both going into the season. Matt did awesome things at the end of the year, the biggest thing i saw was the fact the coaches called a better game plan for him. They established the run and it worked out. With that said.... Jimmy is a rookie i get that.... but he knows the offense inside and out, ran it well all through out his ND career and he did put of numbers... big numbers... with a weak defense... and the plus side to starting Jimmy is teams havent had all offseason to prepare for him.

Just a thought.

At this point, I seriously doubt that Clausen knows this offense better than Moore. It may not be the play of our QB that counts us out anyway, if it comes to that.

I am counting us out regardless. This is not a playoff team. I am thinking 6-10 at best, sadly.

It's the Edwards pick that sealed it, too.

Who would have thought we would have went to the Superbowl when starting the season with Rodney Peete?

I agree, you can't just expect a so many rookies and extremely young players to step up and play like vets, some will but most wont and simply can't because they are much too young. They haven't made their mistakes yet. If it were this easy and cheap every team would be doing it. This is different than just a QB change.

I am hoping for a 8-8 record this year and hope a few players really make an impact in their positions so we can get a head start in the building process. To realistically try and see something more than that is surprising but not impossible.

Fortunately the QB position will not be the anchor that drags this year's team down.

When you have this type of young talent behind center, a great running game and a huge offensive line you will always have a chance because risks are going to be taken and competition or the potential for competition will eventually prove who has the goods.

This is going to be a very fun season to watch. Keep your expectations low as fun does not directly translate into wins unfortunately. However, we still do not know where the wins will come from.

I would rather watch a team that busts its ass to grind out 6 wins than a team that slouches on its laurels and repeatedly eeks out 8 any day.

We got a great running game and a better QB throwing to Steve Smith this year. We got a good pass defense and hopefully a couple people step up on the D line. We should have an awesome O line also. I see no reason we can't win 9 games and possibly even make the playoffs this year. Two great RBs behind a great line, one great WR, a QB who is hopefully decent and a defense led by Jon Beason that just needs to make a few plays. We drafted the young guys for a reason over the years, now it's their time to stand out.

I wouldn't count us out! We are very young no question about that but with our running game, a better QB and hopefully a solid D coupled with our weak schedule I can see us finishing .500 or better if the cards fall right!

Any given Sunday right?
