WE went 6-10 last year! What have we done to get that much worse?! It appears we have 2 QB's more capable of running the offense than McNabb ever was.

I agree with what you are saying. I think what is keeping the so called 'experts' from moving us to the next level is our QB's. Grossman and Beck do not excite anyone. While they are playing well in the preseason, the preseason play is not to the level of regular season. I think they want to see them playing well in the regular season games and game plans before they can believe in us. Grossman and Beck could very well fold under the pressure of regular season defense play. It is still very much a wait and see situation for us at QB. The media is so caught up in this concept that the NFL is "Qb driven league" that they are blinded by it. I am not. We are a much better team.
We have improved so much in our O and D lines, which is where our major weakness was. QB play was also a major weakness, but so far it looks much improved as well. We have to see it in the regular season.
