I can only speak for me, so the dude you quoted can answer for himself, but when a team wins more games against a (much) tougher schedule despite all the turnover, coaches and players, I would say that's a sign of improvement, regardless of what their yardage or scoring stats may say.

But, on the other hand, I would agree with you that (fan) expectations for this team in 2010 should fall into the 7-9 to 9-7 range. Because if they do "make strides" as the other fellow proposed - and I think they should based on the offseason to date - there's no reason they should win fewer games than that, with the teams on their schedule.

And they should be a contender for the division in 2011. If they've done a good job building things, they should be in the 10+ win neighborhood by that point. And then they should stay there for a while.

But, then again, that's been my expectation all along: Rough season in 2009 (tear-down year, for both the organization and the roster), Bounce-back in 2010 (re-build year), Contend in 2011.
