I said the same thing to my wife. I explained to her the Lions 0-16 season that was preceded by the 4-0 preseason.
I just don't think you can take away too much other than our depth being better than the last couple of years. The D has looked better (though the rookies obviously have plenty of flaws still), but how much can you really tell against mainly vanilla offenses.
Rambo and Amerson both seem pretty awful (Rambo in particular) and Josh Wilson has really lost a step. I think our secondary is going to get torched all year

It would be tough to get torched worse than we did last year, maybe we can finish only in the bottom third against the pass instead of 3rd worst this year!
The Jets might actually believe Grossman is an upgrade.
Of course I am, although I should say I'm more worried about his desire to play when he shouldn't more so than his legs themselves. He needs to learn how to protect himself, and I don't mean on designed runs, I mean when he scrambles on passing plays. I guess we'll find out real quick where he's at. Wish Cousins was 100% I'd feel a little better about them actually holding RG3 back until he was really 100% again.
I hope Daniel does get a chance to start in the NFL at some point. He got to learn for a few years in the perfect situation behind Drew Brees. He's been doing the same workouts that turned an undersized QB in Brees with an average arm into one of the stronger arms in the league. I obviously hadn't seen Chase Daniel play much since his heyday at Mizzou, but in the Chiefs preseason games this year, he looks much, much stronger, he can really throw the ball. He always had great accuracy, but the knock on him was size and arm strength. Well, now it's just size. He has great instincts, and can run pretty well when in trouble too.
