don't need to do that..... Better QB play and more experienced offensive players is all I need to see.

You mean the same QBs who both had experience but couldn't muster more that 9 passing TDs? The QBs that had less than 2000 yards passing, less than 7.0 ypa, 57% completion, and 11 ints even though they EACH had at least 8 previous starts prior to that disastrous 2010 QB play? Any experience Toliver and Shepard had is easily squashed by the talent, depth, and experience of Diarse, Dural, Dupre, and Quinn. Fournette's talent AND experience far exceeds any back coming into that season. Williams is on par, stats wise, with their number 2 RB and he was the number 4 RB last year. The TE position has Gordon, Smith, and Jeter with years of experience between them. We have 3 returning starting OL. just like we did in 2011.

BUT I am getting the feeling that YOU think this team will be better than the 2011 team...

I said the team will be 10-2 and I stick by that, so what? I said the 2015 offense has much more talent coming in than the 2011 offense did and you can quote me, bookmark me, print it out and laminate it, carve it in a tree, etch it in stone, and build a shrine to it, IDGAF!

you think this years team dominates the schedule like 2011 team did you need professional help

Seems like you are the only one that said that boyo. You sure do love to put words into people's mouths don't you?

However I will say the 2011 defense came out of nowhere. Brockers, Logan, Minter, Mingo, Montgomery, Brooks and Taylor did really nothing prior to that. Also Reid didn't break out until the 2011 season, and Claiborne had really only started one year prior, and didn't play much at all as a true freshman. Now I'm not saying we have a Mathieu, nor am I saying these kids will show up out of nowhere like those guys mentioned above did, but the possibility of the defense improving from last year is certainly there.

It may squeeze out 9 wins... YES the QB play is THAT important and I am telling you for the 100th time that Miles WILL start AJ when he comes back no matter how good Harris may do... AND If AJ is allowed to play game one, HE WILL START. So there ya go....

I won't even get into this nonsense.
