Is excitement enough in 2012?

[Bushead]

While i'll hold off on any prediction (who could even say with so many variables?) I have been saying since the start that the pressure shouldn't be on till Shanahan's 4th year. By that time, there should be no excuses.

So, I think excitement is enough. I don't want any knee-jerk reactions if RGIII's first year isn't a 10-6 wilcard playoff birth. There are going to be growing pains.

With that being said, I think there should be some improvement, some signs of moving up. By hitting .500, I think it starts showing the message we've turned a corner and next year it will be even better.
