Seriously impressed with how the seaon has gone. Snyder already has matched Prince's best conference season ever (4 wins in 2006), with one game still to go! And, Snyder has made already made a two-game improvement over last year's conference mark, without a real QB anywhere on the active roster. Not to mention, the team has clearly improved over the course of the season.
He's done this with a team that is seriously well short of the talent on the 2006 roster. (Do you see six NFL draft picks on this year's roster? Not even close.) And less talent than almost every other team we've faced this year.
Next year, we'll have a bunch of new toys on offense (Harper, Brod Smith, Sammy Lamur, Demarcus Robinson) to complement D Thomas. And we only lose one OL, right? (Curious who will play QB...) On defense, hopefully Brandon Harold sticks around (comes back?) and Lamark gets it into his head to play defense, which would make nice additions on that side of the ball. We'll miss Fitzgerald next year, no doubt, but we only lose, what, three starters? We could well be improved on that side of the ball, too.
My ultimate measure of Snyder's success is recruiting results, which are still up in the air -- and I would take Patterson every time in a trade -- but I'm plenty
now.
Beat the Skers!
