There are definitely some people overreacting in the threads.
I agree with everything you said. I'm also concerned that Vlad/Springer/Kirk/Varsho don't bounce back. But, this is the team we have, and last year was a half decent offense even with the underperformances (but definitely frustrating to watch). It's still way too early to conclude that at least some of these guys won't bounce back over the course of a long ass season.
