re: Etling, 3000 passing yards and 20 TDs?

Hopefully what we do see is more big plays coming from the passing game though. i.e. 30+yd completions

Would be great. What's concerning is we couldn't pass protect last year long enough for those to develop even with the threat of the run and sweeps and short passes against better defensive fronts. The receivers have to get better at reads i.e. When to break off routes and Etling has to get better at changing plays in the pocket.
The art of quarterbacking i.e. Preparing for the pros is a concept lost to most offensive coordinators. He doesn't have to be anything more than Zach Mettenberger in 2012. The defense will be good and the running game will be great.
