Being a hardcore fan doesn't require you to have blinders on.

We DID have injuries.  Nobody disputes that.  Even before the injuries manifested, how'd we do scoring?  This wasn't a one-off problem or something that happened only after guys got hurt--it was an enormous problem from the opening game.  It didn't matter who the opponent was--other than CMU, we couldn't score.  And the fact of the matter is, we don't have a clue what some of these skill players are capable of, you know--because they are UNPROVEN.  Let's see some production before we start feeling comfortable about our skilled talent.  It remains to be seen whether these guys have the chops needed or not to help us get to .500 or above.

Here's what we DO know--turn on just about any college game, and you see teams that move the ball and score points effortlessly.  And I'm not just talking about top 10 schools.  Many of those programs have multiple WRs / RBs / offensive weapons that strike fear into the heart of the opposition.  Name even ONE guy on our roster you can legitimately say that about.  You can't, because there isn't one.

Pointing that out doesn't make me any less of a hardcore fan.  We have a LONG way to go before our skilled talent is where it needs to be, let alone exceeding our peers.
