Either way, I'm thinking (or maybe just hoping) people will see more than they expect out of several players in 2009, specifically because so much of the roster is so young. I see growing or developing talent where other people see a lack.
Find a starting MLB, find a weak-side pass rusher, and I think the defense goes up 20 spots, particularly if Gunther is out the door. There's talent at the skill positions on offense, and while they need to settle the starting QB question, I think the most important thing is to get back to as dominant an offensive line as they can, regardless of what kind of system they end up running in '09.
In the end, I just hope we see aggressive football. On both sides of the ball. I'm sick of zone defense (which we've gotten for a decade, basically) and I'm sick of run-first neanderthal ball.

As a fan, I hope you're right.
What I see:
1. A good back-up QB.
2. 1 WR. Nothing beyond this.
3. Decent RB, assuming LJ returns. I heard we're deep here.
4. An aging but still very good TE, who might not return.
5. Albert and Waters on the O-line. Not much else.
6. Nothing on the D-line. I'm still very hopeful about Dorsey, though.
7. Nothing at LB. DJ has proved he is average. There's nothing else.
8. Average at best at the safety position.
9. CB is a strength, but I'm not sold on Carr as a starter.
10. P, no problem.
11. K might be able to upgrade.
Serious lack of talent, IMO. The most hopeful players to me are Albert and Flowers. They look to have "star" potential.
