re: The returning starter argument

The media keeps saying we're goin to struggle because we don't have many starters coming back but I can argue that some of these replacements are upgrades from the starters last year.

You can argue it, but the reality is that they're all still question marks.

We tend to assume the most optimistic outcomes for all of those guys because we're the fans but why should outsiders view them as anything other than question marks?

Not only do we assume all of our question marks will pan out, but we assume that all of our opposition's question marks won't work out. In reality, some of those guys will be good, some won't.
