It only looks that way (at least to me) if I'm basing my perspective out of comparing his tenure from Ducati vs. his 2nd stint at Yamaha. Sure at that angle it makes it look like the future is promising.

However, with 6 races to go last season and he only had to win 1 race and/or beat only 1 guy and and he couldn't find an answer; I think I've seen the limits of what Rossi can do.

I don't see MM getting plagued by the same GP15 frame problems as he did the on the first-half of last season, and Lorenzo just showed that he can coast the first half of a season and still bypass Rossi. I really don't think he has any answers for those 2 riders on the grid for the foreseeable future.

I'm with you there.
