Even though we lost a lot of talent at WR from last year they were not really a big part of our offense last year, were they?</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
The poor to average play of the QB neutralized the WR advantage we had last year.</div>

Hopefully, the practices have allowed some cohesion between QBs and WRs this year.</div>

I think the defense will hold up its end as they have done throughout KFz's tenure.</div>

It was always the issue of putting the points on the board.</div>

We may have playmakers at RB and WR and we have to wait and see how the QB position shapes up.</div>

Despite the 6-0 finish, I am skeptical of our QB situation. </div>

The opposition in those games was not great and the QB did not have to do a lot either.</div>

We could have easily been 8-0 and still have had just an average QB on our hands.</div>

What troubles me more is that we are discussing other QBs from Spring Ball games which tells me that Petras has not elevated his game too much. I am afraid that the HC will be slow to replace as he loves giving seniority a looong rope.</div>
