Will we be better next year?

At first I was thinking next year we would take a step back. I think we may be even better next year. What say you?

This past season was supposed to be our rebuild. I think we should be stronger next year. We have a few more chips that will fall. Will all 3 on the DL come back? If so ypu are looking at the #1 D in the country. If nit, you are still a tpp 10 D at worst, amd probablh top 5. Hyatt coming back is huge. And then what happens in the spring and fall at QB. If we get the passing game and the vertical passing game going then it will open it up for Feaster and ETN to make more house calls. Should be fun to watch.

I can't imagine how much nastier ETN will be if we have a passing attack again. Just imagine 1 or 2 less guys in the box there to tackle him. Im telling you we are just an elite QB away from having something super special. Maybe even better than the Watson offense.

Depends on if our line and rb/te position learns to block.

Williams didn’t play in the playoffs. Go watch him block vs Alabama last year.

Thanks well aware, was more referring that having a single tight end back won’t change our entire oline not working together and our starting backs not being able to block
However Feaster has improved some.

I think we will be better.
Defense is top-5 regardless what happens Offense, even with KB, gets better. Hyatt back keeps a solid left side of the line. Carmen and other big boys fill the right. ETN and Feaster? Unfair. WRs? unfair.
I see a scenario like bama this year. KB takes us to the playoffs and then Hunter/Chase/Trevor come in to take us home.
KB isn't a NC qb. he doesn't have the leadership needed. But the other three guys can bring it.

Only if QB play improves. I believe that’s synonymous with starting someone other than KB, but I doubt Dabo will bench him. I doubted it last year and I don’t see why this year would be any different. He’s just good enough to stay on the field but not quite good enough to win the big one.

Defense about the same. Offense ever so slightly better if KB remains the starter. If HJ or TL pan out and start I think we will take a huge leap forward on offense particularly by having an elite passing attack again.

We will be National Championship material. If KB starts, we are still ACC Champs but no match for Tua and Bama.

I think it depends on how good our defense is. Unless TL comes here and steals the job from KB, I just don’t see the offense being much different than it was this year. Without our amazing defense this year, we don’t make the playoffs. The offense was flat out bad at times, like 2014 cole stoudt bad.

12-2 and a playoff appearance is something most programs would kill to have.

15-0 sounds about right though.

I think its binary on whether Wilkins, Ferrel, etc come back. If they do I don't know how we wouldn't absolutely be better...scary better. If they don't, we still have a chance to be good, but looking across the board I think we'd be about the same. Little better offense, little worse on defense, etc.
