Literally all he would have to do for that to be a reality is top 1200 yards, 56% completion, and 3-7. If he's passing for more yards, more yards per attempt, and more TD's relative to INT's, that would be "better" by any reasonable standard.
So, now, it's "pretty likely" rather than "The passing game will obviously be more productive, seriously-- any idiot can see that."?
So are predictions new to you guys on this board? Are you unfamiliar with the rudiments of talking about things that haven't happened yet?
They must be new to us. Predictions. Do they always start with making assertions in absolutes with "obviously, any idiot can see it" and then walking it back about nine steps to "pretty likely"? Does the predictor always have to add that he doesn't believe in the main driver of the outcome, or is that more of a stylistic thing?
So if you just declared that Dalton Sneed will start at quarterback in 2019 and a Cat fan was actually assinine enough to question your basis for making that claim and you said "it's obvious" and they still pressed you for "evidence," you might say it's likely because he started last year, performed well on balance, and nothing has really changed at that position.
I don't really see what's so hard to understand about this. I think it's obvious that Rovig is going to represent an upgrade in the passing game and a downgrade in the running game. The reasons for that are plain. Again, any idiot should be able to understand that. Another way of saying this is that I think it's very likely. I can't say it's a certainty because it's a future event that hasn't taken place yet.
Let me know if you guys need a quick lesson on how past events work too. That's a whole different dynamic.
