We worry because we have a HS coach running the offense and a lack of talent

at OL, WR, unproven talent at TE and RB. There is legitimate reason to be concerned. I think we will be better with Taysom gone, but people expecting the O to explode are going to be disappointed.

I'm sorry...I can't help fantasizing about a Top 10 defense and a Ty Detmer

This year could be really really good, but next year the stars might just align

I am a bit wary that Tanner has a goal to get drafted next year...

Fdnman

6/24/17 5:31pm

Well, if he's able to do so, it would likely mean this year was AWESOME.

Mises

Agreed, that would mean the season has been great, and strangely I am...

That would equate to 2nd & 3rd string QB's getting in 3rd and 4th quarter experience.

Extremely deep and talented QB class next year. The top QB's in the draft this

If he has a really good year they'll be drooling over a QB in this offense.

Lip Gallagher

Quite the opposite. If greed is his motivating factor, he absolutely won't

Lance71

That's what I said.

You are really underestimating the QB talent in the draft next year.

Lance71

6/26/17 2:11pm

Yet you're not factoring in the year after. Who is to say it won't end up

Lip Gallagher

What good ever came from pessimism? I'm with you

Hopefully if TM leaves early he actually does get drafted

I'll get excited when I see the potential on the field

Listen to Detmer and you'll know why. Doesn't mean that's what you should

Lip Gallagher

I go into every season assuming we will beat less talented teams and lose to

Backcountry

Sounds reasonable, I don't know much about the inner workings at Boise...

rtNelson

I think we are catching up, but they still put more guys in the NFL than us

Backcountry

Haven't a few D2 schools as well? I do have a hard time believing they are...

rtNelson

Those came from previous teams though. I have the feeling their current roster

Hopefully Detmer can do more with an experienced pocket passer than he did with

I had the same thought

I admire you optimism my friend, but I lack faith in our offense

Avery

Why? And say something other than "because last year"

We worry because we have a HS coach running the offense and a lack of talent

Keep in mind he was a HS coach by choice, not by circumstances...it fit his...

icecougar

I tend to agree, but we are both speculating. We don't know why he was a HS coac

Can I say the spring game? The spring game confirmed my fears that

Avery

6/24/17 9:32pm

What exactly were you expecting from the spring game? Certainly not a showcase

basman

6/24/17 9:35pm

You could, but that would kind of say you don't understand the

Lip Gallagher

6/24/17 9:46pm

I don't think it's wise to base any opinions on a spring game.

Backcountry

Well, for starters, look at your sig pic: No Jamaal Williams this season to

BeardedSpock

Is it completely necessary for the offense to be successful though?

Nothing wrong with ball control passes if that's who is open...

I can get excited about the defense potential - Detmer TBD

If projected depth chart is accurate we have 2 seasons between 6 skill positions
