"Bortles WAS the team" is bull. UCF returns ALL 3 top receivers that helped Bortles look good. Bortles is Bortles, but your supporting cast helps. They return their big 3 plus some. If they have a half decent QB, they could be dangerous.
Storm Johnson is always the 2nd argument. Stanback could end up being better than Johnson one day and will still be a very good back for them next year. He was only a freshman last year and very good even while not being the featured back.
If they come up with any kind of decency at QB and OL, their offense will be dangerous. A very solid crew of WRs will help the QB. Combine that with their defense and they're no flop.
Yes, they'll be beatable. They suffered losses. So did we. Just saying that people need to stop pretending that the lack of Bortles makes the team incompetent.
