There is s thought on another board that suggests this is more of a rebuilding year and that next year is the year expectations should be high. Loss of Shaq, Abacks and WR are cited as reasons to point to a rebuilding year along with the tough schedule.
Anybody buying that? I'm not.
Return so much on D, best QB in PJs tenure and a veteran Oline with the exception of one spot.
The ABacks and WR are a concern because they apparently can't block which is definitely a huge concern. But still. Rebuilding year implies 7 or so wins to me and that not nearly good enough. Still a lot of talent and experience on this team.
9 wins or more I say otherwise I'm labeling this season as underachieving in what should be a pretty down ACC outside of Clemson.

Of course it is a rebuilding year for all of the reasons you cited. As good as JT is, he is not a one-man team. And I think most people seriously underestimate how valuable Shaq was to last year's team. We simply don't have a plug and play replacement for him.
But if we have improvements on the defensive side to the point where we can actually get teams off of the field on 3rd down, then that would offset the loss of offensive efficiency we are likely to have.
So it remains to be seen, but we all should be keeping in mind that next year is the year.
