I know that this questions is slightly fatuous as a good season is dependent on many factors that are all inter linked; however, I wondered what people thought was the single most important thing for us next season.
Zorn getting to grips with head coaching responsibility quickly? A healthy offensive line? Getting pressure on the quarterback? Improved secondary play?
For my money, the single most important factor that will determine the success of this team is Jason Campbell. I think that this is the season where he must really step up and cement himself as the leader of the team. He has shown tremendous potential but this is yet another offense to learn under a new leader. I feel that the Skins season will rise or fall on how he fares.
Personally, I think he is going to have a great year so am very optimistic about the season.

We have a lot of question marks, but I do think JC is the biggest, perhaps it turns out to be Zorn? But I get the feeling he's going to be ok. I will go with Campbell.

all teams success depends on health. so i will say its time for Campbell to step it up. no excuses. a first rounder, if he is the franchise qback, this will be the year we find out

I going with the performance of the offensive line. If they stay healthy, protect Jason, and open up the running game like they did a couple of years ago, everything will click easier.

Without a doubt, health, and depth is going to be the biggest factors for us. We need to try and prevent the small nagging injuries and problems we had last year. The groins, Hammy's, and heat cramps hurt us pretty bad last year. The guys need to stay conditioned, and the trainers should be ensuring that they are stretched and hydrated. We can't prevent the big injuries.
We need to ensure we have good personell ready to step in if someone does go down also.

It begins and ends with Jason Campbell.. If he goes for 3500, 26 TD and 12 INT then we should be a playoff team. If it's more like 2900 18 TD and 16 INT then we're likely below .500.
The OL will be fine and I have no worries about the defense.

Health/depth & how well the D plays under Blache.
I really think there has to be a drop off in the D w/GW gone & some key starters up in age. Plus, very little quality depth behind them. GW got his teams to overachieve w/the exception of 06. I think Blache is in a tough spot & at this point the front office hasn't done much to improve his personel. WE'll see if they add some vet depth before camp, but at this point that's about all that's available.
Even though I expect the O to take some time, I feel really good about it. There's always the chance that this system just clicks for them right off the bat. Even if it doesn't, I feel like it will get going by mid season.

The single factor that is key for the Skins this year is how many wins they have.
