4-8 isn't crazy we won 6 games last year barely... the players now are unproven. at TE RB OL..ETC
There will also be an experienced QB on the field who will be better than at least 10 of the 12 QBs he faces and at a minimum even with the other 2. Great QBs can elevate the play around them and make up for below average coaching. That's Kaaya challenge.
If he is as great as a lot of people think he will be 4 wins is a crazy prediction.
Yet he was also one of the best quarterbacks as a true freshman and also better than most of the QBs he squared off against last year, save Winston.
I'm not buying the "Kaaya's Growth" rationale as a reason we'll succeed next season.
Dorsett, Johnson, and Walford accounted for more than 60% of Kaaya's reception yards. It's a two-way street: Kaaya elevated their play, but they also elevated his play. I've read DMoney's observations on practice and while it's great to hear he has leaner and stronger, losing 3 of your top targets - who also happened to be drafted in the top 80 in the draft - will make for a huge adjustment. Combined with the potential weakness on OL, and I see Kaaya regressing.
The 4-win prediction is not crazy. We've lost a ton of talent and we're continually out-coached. Using the talent argument is useless with the staff.
