I have a lot more confidence that our O can be at least somewhat productive with Monken than I would if Stefanski were still here. TM has the kind of personality to push and drive this team to do well whereas KS didn't seem to be able to light a fire under anyone.

Poor attempt at humor ..

I watched Sayin and Mestemaker.. Oklahoma State just plain looked bad. They have a bad Oline and everything followed. Mestemaker played scared. Sayin looked exactly the way you would expect against Ball State.

I also thought Moore looked the part against, "maybe" a better Boise State team. I didn't see Manning, Mateer or Mensah.

With Myles on the field during berrys time as a gm
We were 20 games below 500.
Fano could not fine 1 time where he dominated a
NFL level defensive lineman if this happens here
We will need 6 QBs.
Wr if they perform we will be in average to below
average group.
if they legitimately run rpos against
Top 15 defensive we could average less then 14 points
Special teams wait and see still not sold on kc being a real return man!!!

Line improved from the 25 to 30 ranked line
To 20 -25 ranked group till I see line up against Pittsburgh and consistently
Get 3 down in 2 yards to go by running the ball do not expect me to upgrade

DIRECTV was the same way before Youtube got the contract for The NFL Sunday Ticket.

I really don't fault Youtube for the situation. The NFL puts the contract up for bid causing a bidding war and whoever wins that contact pays out the wazoo for it. As such that cost gets passed on to the consumer. It's actually the NFL that forbids the sale of single team viewing options. It's a part of the actual contract that the broadcaster must agree to. There is however ongoing litigation against the NFL regarding the NFL Sunday Ticket..............

Expectations breed letdowns. One of my favorite sayings.

That said, I do think if we stay healthy and get C- to C+ quarterback play, we’ll be solidly in the over for the betting line, which I think is 4 or 5 wins. Reminder that we also have a pretty easy schedule compared to last year.

We actually have a lot of talent on the field, this is not one of those years where we just have holes everywhere. It’s just that it’s a very young team with a new coach and system. If the OLine is just ok and the QBs are just ok, we will surprise a lot of teams. I could easily see us at 8-9 or 9-8 given the schedule.

Of course, that’s a double edged sword. We want a top QB because just ok isn’t good enough for QB.

We’ll see Sanders eventually, at least by mid season. I hope for one of two things:
1. He plays lights out and we have our guy (miracle of miracles… not counting on it), or
2. He sucks eggs and we commence the tank job

Nothing in between please. The “just ok” and 9-8 is kind of a worst case scenario. Also the most probable, injuries held in check, IMO. Good enough to string along a few years, not good enough to go deep. Football pergatory.

Actually there is a worse scenario… DW plays B level football and we end up a little better than 9-8 where we can’t reach any of the top 3-4 QBs without selling off the whole draft and maybe more. And we’re faced with possibly resigning DW. Which feels like intentionally re-giving yourself the clap after you finally ended 3 rounds of penicillin.

The way I see it, the most interesting part of your post is how it seems you know exactly how many rounds of penicillin it takes to get rid of the clap.
