Tyrod Taylor has operated out of a run heavy Offense that averaged the lowest passing attempts per game in the NFL. (under 30)
The architect of the Offense was sent packing two weeks into the season. While the play calling may have changed under A Lynn the playbook and run heavy mentality remained along with lower then normal reps in the passing game.
At 6' 1" the West coast Offense is a much better fit for Taylors size and skill set IMO.
