Three or more. Anything better than last year will do. I know it'll be harder to accept when it's actually happening, but at this point, we all know we can expect a very rough first year transitioning.

I'll let you know when we get a QB and DC.

@ HOU could be another upset win (depending on when in the schedule, if the O is settled)
KS hopefully exorcises the SB51 demons by burying the Texans in that building

I want to see the effort, organization and desire to win that I haven't seen in the last 2 years. However many wins that gets us I'm good with. I want to see progress for a change.

I'm waiting to see the roster first. I hope we have at least four wins. I know that's not much, but this is clearly going to be a long road back to respectability. The first couple of years I'm going to judge success on whether we are making upward progress or not.

I do not think those teams lacked a desire to win. I thought it was clearly a lack of talent that lead to the win-loss totals.
For that reason, I will be looking at the draft and how we address the QB and WR positions more than how Shanahan does coaching the team this year.

That's really hard to say...I do believe Shanahan & Lynch will add a lot of talent to the roster, both vets and rookies. How well they mesh will determine in large part how many wins they get. If they're able to make a trade for Garrapolo, sign a solid b/u (preferably Hoyer) & draft a quality rookie, that should settle down the QB issues for at least 2017. Getting Hyde some help will be key...having a FB to lead him into holes will be huge, too. Some good receivers are crucial and some OL help, too. Shoring up the middle on defense is critical, all the way to the S position. If they're able to do these things, I think 6-8 wins is possible. Again, though, it will depend a lot how well the new players mesh with the holdovers.

Let's beat a team other than the Rams. How 'bout that?

I'll set the bar at the same height as I set it last year.
Wins and losses are irrelevant if...
A FQB solution is identified
Better defense statistically
Better offense statistically
Significant improvement in point differential
These are the marks of improvement I am looking for.

We could go 0-16 for all I care(though prefer we don't)
I do want to see the team show that they're able to be in all their games and development by the young players and some good leadership by the vets.

0 is successful since we are rebuilding..because that will ensure us the # 1 pick in the draft
