Short version:  Optimistic about our WRs, really like our QB, RB won't be weaker and could be stronger.  Herbig is a defiinite loss even if he didn't shine this year.

I agree with you that there is talent at the WR position. Some of them are young, so it may take a "a while" for it to develop. The QB is certainly an asset, and can be even more of an asset if he isn't always throwing into tight windows. The less than great turnover numbers come at least partially from having to do that.
I take it from your comment that you believe Herbig will be gone. I may have missed it, but AFAIK, he hasn't declared. Naturally, I would like to see him have one more injury free year at Stanford. Did I miss him saying he is going this year?
