Except the year before last?

Reasons I'm optimistic:

Defense:
Williams doesn't field bad defenses two years in a row.
Since 2000, he has had the #1 (Titans), #21, #15, #2 (Buffalo), #3, #9 and #31 (Washington).

This makes last year look anomalous. I would think the chances of him being bottom 10 next year is about the same as being top 10.

Offense:
It's not just that Saunders does good in his second year, it's that he has Gibbs working with him. Whoever doesn't realize this is a benefit is to young to remember Gibbs first stint. The guy is a football genius. There may not be a more capable person out there to help Saunders tweek his offense.

i think our offense if jason campbell can play as good as phillip rivers did this past year with a full off season as him being the number one guy and brandon lloyd playing like his contract states we will be in the top 5 in offense
