Reading a lot of posts lately makes me question why everyone is so dissappointed in our play so far... I knew this year was going to be one more rebuilding year...and so far this year is the most progress I have ever seen...even more than our 7-9 year, and here is why:
1. David Carr has turned into a good qb. ok ok today he didn't play well... but steve young once threw 5 picks in a game. Peyton Manning has turned in some really bad performences in the past. John Elway had bumps in the road. Why should we judge his season on one performance? Carr has played very well up until this game and has had the highest completion percentage in the NFL. He is dealing with a banged up O line who was already sub par... but regardless, he is looking a whole lot better from last year.
2. A rushing game, and DD is on the IR. Our best back isn't even dressed out and we have put up two consecutive 100 yard games. One reason why we struggled early was becuase we had no rushing attack...well its coming around and I am excited because its coming all on the fresh legs of wali lundy and when DD joins him next year we will have a 1-2 punch that will even scare the Colts.
3. Eric Moulds trade paid off greatly, we have the #1 receiver in the nfl on our team now...and Eric Moulds gets all the credit for this one. Bringing all the attention off Dre plus Eric Moulds is getting quite a bit of catches too.
4. A great receiving TE with awesome hands. Owen Daniels? Where did he come from... idk but man is he a playmaker and boy did we need one.
5. Demeco Ryans being a rookie pro bowler and could lead the league with tackles. We needed a big time linebacker...we have one and this guy is on pace to end up in canton at the way he has started.
6. Mario Williams has more sacks then dwight freeney and simeon rice. Reggie bush...ehh not so hot...plus injured now and vince young is off to a rough start.
7. Jerome Mathis has yet to return... he was the best returner from last year and he will provide much speed to an already potent receiving corps.
My point is... when all this comes together next year... we will be in the playoffs and making some noise. Plus we have another draft...and Kubiak did awesome with this draft class... I mean AWESOME. Almost Every pickup has contributed.
