You're missing the point.  It has nothing to do with being pessimistic just to be pessimistic.  Pessimistic is probably not the right choice of words.  I'm just not going to buy into the "we are a 8 - 10 win team" without any proof of that.  This years team did look better overall but last years team looked better than 2016's team and still finished with the same record.

I don't think we're going to finish with the same record as the last 2 years but I have no idea what this staff is capable of doing here.  A win and down to the wire games against Clemson are nice feel good games but don't mean much if you win 4 - 5 games a season.  I'd rather consistently win 6 - 8 than win 4 with Clemson one of those 4 wins.  I just have no idea where we are headed.

Some of the same people complaining we need another year or two to build depth before we can really judge anything are the ones who previously touted all of Shafer's recruiting classes and defensive prowess when he was the HC.  That's just Rutgers Al (ish) logic.  There's nothing wrong with having a wait and see approach to the rest of the season.  This staff just hasn't show yet that it can win consistently nor has it shown it possibly can't.  I'm just going to wait and see.  We should be at 6 wins this year, if we aren't, I will be pretty disappointed.
