Bottom line. Little steps don't equal big steps. I want big steps.

Fair enough. But this year is the one you want to look at for "big" progress. Second year in a system, second year with Zorn as QB coach, and hopefully will get at least limited production from the 2008 draft class. This year is the "make or break" year.
Plus, as I tried to show above, if you take your exact same metrics and apply them to everybody's favorite Super Bowl winning QB you get basically the same outcome. And if it is statistical "progress" you are looking for then you don't get that with Roethlisberger's first three seasons either. He didn't make a "big jump" statistically until year four and then dropped back down (regressed to the mean?) last year.
