Me too.  And sorry about the exchange the other day--I know you [and I both] are a die hard.
 
Here's what I think is best case scenario fo George McDonald:
 
[LIST]
[*]Hunt settles down and is solid for the rest of the year
[*]Ishmael / Custis continue to get developmental PT, and things click for them about 2/3 of the way through the season, the same way they did for Estime last year
[*]One of those two emerges as a legitimate #1 caliber WR / go-to guy by next year
[*]We go to a bowl game this year, just to continue the momentum on the recruiting trail
[*]We finish strong in recruiting, re-landing KJ Williams and Tears [the WR who decommitted from Nebraska]
[*]Hunt returns next year and has an even better senior season
[*]With better WR skill talent next year, some dud WRs get phased out and the offense gets a bit more explosive
[*]McDonald continues to recruit better and better players, until we have 2-3 players like Diggs that scares opposing DCs and forces them to make adjustments to their game plans
[*]Better skill players, better execution, play, stop, rewind
[/LIST]
 
I'm not sure that he's ever going to be the top OC in college football, or an innovator on par with Chip Kelley.  But I'm convinced that we're not that far off from his system working--more efficiency from the QB, better speed, and an infusion of better WR talent would do wonders for this offense.  The rest of the template is in place, IMO--I like the OL they are bringing in, I like the RBs--we just need some more speed at WR.
