Y'all are posting like the 2014 season is already fait accompli. They've played five games and have been competitive thru 4.5 of them, only losing road games to non-conference opponents. Don't throw dirt on them yet.
I don't want it to happen yet. I am happy to watch competitive football. I am glad we are over achievers for the first time in Franchise history. I hope we can watch meaningful football all season. Last year was terrible. If we never get a chance to look at the rest of our QB roster because we are playoff competitive to the end I'll be happy. I just think no matter how well coached, or high effort we are this year, no matter how many wins we steal, it's a bit of a lame duck season. Foster, AJ, and Fitz are the cornerstones of this offense, and the odds of any of them being on this team in 2 years are almost zero. It is hard to really invest in a team of place holders, no matter how likable those place holders are.

So I will enjoy our relevance all season, and maybe into a first round playoff game in the weak AFC. But I am already more excited about guys like Blue and Morris than Foster and JJ. I already want answers about Jones as a Center more than I want to see 11 more games of Myers being reliable. Like you said, this team is far from dead, but I am just much more excited about the limitless future than the surprisingly above average present.
