We still need a QB
We still need help rushing the passer
We still need additional depth on the defensive line, especially at NT

Correct, people are extremely fickle, and it's like they start with a clean slate every season. At most, you can spot trends over the course of 1/4th of a season, and with a young & inexperienced team, even that can be difficult with so much parity. Regardless of whether they win 7 games or 10, make the playoffs this season, whatever, they're making progress towards being a contender in the playoffs... outside of that $60m question.
