I think the gloom and doomers are assuming no one gets better this summer, and their performance won’t improve with better coaching, better teammates, and more opportunity.
I don’t disagree, but it comes back to the coaching staff having to prove themselves again to the fan base.Merely my opinion, but I find it much more logical to assume players will improve during their most prime developmental years, rather than to assume we are just getting last years version of every player.
Boswell is mocked as a 1st round pick in many places and it seems like most of the gloom doomers are pretending he doesn't exist.
The benefit to keeping guys in the program is you don’t need to work on everything all at once. These coaches by rule have limited time with players, and players have practically limited time and energy to work on their own. I think it’s a lot to expect a whole new team will successfully learn a new offense and defense, develop chemistry with all new teamates, get fletched, and improve their fundamentals from last years baseline.
