6-5 without playoffs. I started August thinking it might be a 5-6 season. The QB situation needed to improve and it has improved. Jefferson has been more accurate and the QB's appear to be working on faster reads with quicker releases. There's more depth now too. Waring is now a capable backup, so there are signs of improvement at the all-important QB position. I'm not convinced that it has improved as much as it needs to, but it has improved enough to upgrade the prediction to 6-5. Also I would caution against the inward focus where we look at position groups, like the offensive and defensive lines, and smile at the returning experience and depth. The Covid spring season did not count against eligibility so we have 5th and 6th year players we didn't expect. That's nice, but everybody has 5th and 6th year players they didn't expect. Everybody is liking their team with added experience. The schedule, especially the Valley schedule, will be as challenging as ever. 6-5
