Well it doesn’t look like qb is a weak spot

Let me know when he can consistently complete passes over the middle and hit WRs in stride.

That's an overstated concern...

if you go back and watch the early games, Daniels was hitting Boutte in stride. Boutte just wasn't catching the ball.
That threw the entire offense off schedule, because Boutte was the no-doubt focus of the passing game. And it wasn't like losing Boutte to another injury, and you shift everyone over; they kept him in and kept trying to feed him, trying to work him back into the game. Because, as we know, Boutte when good was All American level.

I think Nussmeier looked more decisive at times, because I believe he was on the field more with some of the 2's, guys he was used to practicing with. And the guys he focused on in practice were a) not as critical in scheme as Boutte was, and b) not dropping and otherwise out of sorts as much.

All that is gone this year. Daniels is going into this season with Nabers as his sure #1, Taylor at TE as a comfortable option, and familiarity with the other guys now.

My "relative weakness" for this team is the RB group. It might be deep, but there's not 1 guy who's emerged as the man yet, that can take over a game. Williams is dependable, but underwhelming. Emery is spectacular at times, and wildly inconsistent with ball security. Cain is a step slow, Goodwin got hurt just as he started to stand out, everyone just is a question mark.
