Its nice to use stats for comparison reasons but you can see the diffence in how the team is run, roster upgrade, and coach input. Injuries is the only thing that regress this team. Poles targeted this year in his rebuild to win. His behavior proves that. Gave CW the job instantly even with the good play of Rypien and Bagent. Filled our weaknesses with depth. OL added Pryor, Kiwan pick, Murray, Shelton, and Bates . DL has 6 DEs on the roster ( Sweat, Taylor, Hardy, Walker, Booker, Robinson), Jacob Martin on the early return pup list. He added Cris Williams to IDL.
I get we still have to prove the roster with wins but that is happening this year. ( projected 12-5).
The national press is starting to say good things. I have seen us ranked the 3rd best team in the NFC. A few picks to make the NFC title game. I get its optimism but its not just me prediciting good things to 2024.
