I agree with you, Matty. But I'm going to be a realist here.

What if RG3 re-injures his knee and his season is over? What if he never gets back to full speed? What if Kirk Cousins takes over the offense, but flames out? What if defenses, armed with film from last year, completely shut down our offense? What if Alfred Morris proves to be one and done? What if Fred Davis has lost it?

What if none of the rookie DBs pan out? What if Fletcher's tank runs out of gas? What if Orakpo is injured again? What if Meriweather isn't the game changer we're all hoping he'll be? etc., etc.

I'd call that being a pessimist.

You can play the what if game all day long, in either direction. Not much reality there.
