Is the team good? Lets start with our record to date. 3-2 against our schedule would point to average. Have we improved or regressed our performance by unit from the first game. On O i see a slight improvement. Specials have been steady. Defense has been up and down so i will say it has remained where it started. 
Coaching has remained the same. My two cents is that we have a Young QB who is talented but green behind a poor offensive line. Unfortunately this combination makes us an average team at best. If we had last years Oline Tommys lack of experience would be partially offset. Instead his lack of experience is magnified by the oline being weak. 
On D our lack of a true NT and DT has really hurt us. It takes away much of the advantage of our DEs. Why because our interior Dline are being handled one on one and not demanding a double team like Slayton demanded last year. In addition by being weak in the middle it exposes our LBs which are the second weakest unit on the team. 
My last observation is coaching. I believe that Lynch and Ward are at best average coordinators. Why? I dont see them out coaching their counterparts in game. I cant name one game that we have made in game adjustments that have turned the tide. Simply put i think that they are both below average ACC coordinators. 
So my final answer is that we are a slightly below average team that based on our remaining schedule will win 6 or 7 regular season games and be invited to a middle of the pack bowl game.
