Is it September yet.

Yeah I agree with you. Although I am not yet 100% sold on JC as being the guy to lead us to a SB, he did end up 13th in passing last season. Not Pro Bowl necessarily, but definitely solid starter material, especially for what he has to work with. I am concerned about CP though. He is taking real punishment now, and I am worried he will go the way of Stephen Davis. We really screwed both of these guys with not addressing the O line deficiencies from last season. Clinton is going to get hammered and JC is going to be running for his life. Orakpo is great, but unless we really get a substantial lift in the turnover ratio with good field position to boot, we really aren't going to improve all that much in terms of wins and losses. Our offense will mirror that of last year. I wouldn't put too much stock in those rook WR's of last season either. They will improve, but that is because they sucked so bad last year that improving is all they can do.
