I'm not as knowledgeable as most of you, but that article (overall) seemed reasonably well written and balanced.  What else can you do before the season begins?  Neither we, the coaches, nor the players themselves really know how our talented but inexperienced players (especially at quarterback and in the secondary) will perform--that is why they play the game.

I love these kind of prognoticating articles--they become a kind of game unto themselves.  They entertain us while we wait for the season.  But imagine how disappointed we would be if they could predict a season with complete certainty.
