everyone knows UT has a bad situation at QB but there is no denying they have a very good group of WRs. I'll give credit where credit is due. Sucks for them they don't have a reliable QB to get them the ball, but that depth of size and talent is pretty incredible

Thanks. I'm not sure why that's so hard to admit. It's crazy how much talent we have at both WR and TE this year - both positions were huge weaknesses last year but now they're so stocked it's not even funny.

I actually think that talent upgrades and second year in the system for the 'older' (I use that term loosely) guys is going to make our QBs jobs a whole lot easier. They don't even have to be good or mediocre with the talent around them - they just have to be serviceable. If they can do that we'll score points. The big worry is will the oline allow the WRs/TEs and RBs to do anything or will our tackles get our QBs killed?

A lot folks forget that it wasn't all on our QBs - we replaced the entire passing game last season with no one who had any experience at all. Marquez North was a bright spot but he was learning on the job and had never played WR. We didn't even have a steady guy in the slot. And the QBs themselves, particularly Worley and Peterman might as well have been true freshman as they were learning a whole new system as they went.

I have a lot of guarded optimism regarding the improvements I've seen at QB and because the skills players can make up for even bad QB play to some degree. They may not be world beaters but they're miles ahead of where they were this time last year.

But again, that oline, particularly when looking at what's behind those projected to start is just
