Assuming Peters comes in and plays, is this year's team better than last year?
I say it is. I know there are many out there who think the team is worse, even much worse I just don't see it. So before I am called stupid, a homer, am ignoring facts or being blind hear this out.
The defense is better. The additions of Stroud, McKelvin and Mitchell are clear upgrades. The returns of Poz, Simpson and Denney are also helpful.
The offense is better, although maybe not a ton. Edwards has a year under his belt and also will have a TC (and preseason) with first team reps, something he did not have last year. The O-line starts their 2nd year together. Lynch has a year of experience as does Fred Jackson. Any contribution form Hardy and Schouman (remember the last TE we like was also a late round pick and spent time on the Practice Squad) will be beneficial.
So, also assuming that this year’s schedule is easier (which, on paper, it is) why should the team not go at least 8-8? If the offense and defense and improved and the schedule is easier, why won’t this team win at least one more game?
