Yes, that is why I described that scenario as "in a perfect world." My point is only that it is better to get your playing time cut when the guy taking your spot is a 6 sack player.

He was replaced with a guy that has 6 sacks on the season. You would rather your rookie get outplayed by a GOOD player than have your rookie be downright bad. In a perfect world, Oliver is that good player, but its not like Oliver is bad. He is just a rookie.

All week it’s all about how we didn’t run the ball enough. Now they don’t run enough, and it’s we didn’t pass enough. This fan base...

He can’t execute the plays man. The run game is good and guys get open in the pass game. That’s all the OC can do.

A+ analysis Yessssss. Wholeheartedly agree

Man, I feel for Daboll. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. This fan base. Got any citations for that claim there?

Yes, Joe, but right now you are supposed to be complaining about our *checks notes* win

Fair...

Yes, let’s fire the OC that has already guided our young QB to a higher phase of development than most NFL pundits thought he could accomplish.

Anything less than a super bowl today and he is a bust

Not against Schwartz. That is what he does: puts extra guys in the box. The OCs job is to exploit weaknesses in the defense. In this instance, he does this by NOT running right into a crowded box.

Do you even know how unresponsive that is to what I am saying?

And for those two DTs, this is how they compensated. 9 man boxes. Should they have continued to run into that?

Look at the numbers we do. My critique here is that fans do not understand OCs beyond run/pass. What if there are 8 in the box every down, should we still be running the ball. Have you done that analysis? Figured out what percentage of 6/7/8 man boxes the offense has faced? Do you know what audibles were available? What audibles were made? What the reads were? Any of that? You know its the NFL, right? You know that more often than not the team gets more than one call in the huddle, right? No. The best you can do is, "he needs to run the ball more!" You haven't a clue what is going on beyond run/pass ratio. Solid analysis.

"merely excuses" is code for "I am having a temper tantrum and I don't want to think." Arizona also has a losing record and isn't going to the playoffs. We went McD's first year and will more than likely go this year.

I've never loved a poster more than @SoTier. I cannot believe he is a real person. It is amazing.

He drafted his QB last year . . . It isn't like he walked in thinking the QB situation was all set. But hey, you think he should have started sooner, that is fine. But, don't pretend the rebuild started three years ago. For this team, it started last year when they drafted Allen.

McDermott has a plan, and its frankly an obvious one: rebuild defense, then rebuild offense. We are in year two with our developmental QB. Be critical of the plan, I get it. But if you expect the offense to be that much better at the half way point with that much turnover, than that is on you.

Can't we just say that execution is the problem and that is OK? Allen is a second year project QB; he struggles. We have 2 returning starters; the whole struggles. That is fine, but guys are open, we run the ball well. We just don't execute. All Daboll can do is make sure those things are true. Mission accomplished. The problem is execution, and it sucks, but it is OK because the corp of the offense is young/new and learning each other. If at the end of the year they don't improve, that is one thing. But to say this right now is, well, childish and just shows a lack of understanding. Its a passing league, WEO, the offense either figures out how to do it effectively, or we die in mediocrity. You want a superbowl? This young offense needs to learn how to pass the ball.

We have 2 returning starters on offense. And those two are Dawkins, who is solid, and Allen, who is a second year QB. This offense may not come around, but, man, people are super critical of this brand new offense.

The average fan knows and understands less about offensive coordinating than any other aspect of the game.

What a spin zone. Love it.

Can you please stop with the Star gets double teamed lie.

Believing your argument is supported does not make you a realist. It just means you think your opinions are fair. Describing it as realist to make it sound reasonable is a fallacy. For the record, based on the arguments you’ve made, you’re a pessimist.

Usually when people call themselves "realists" they have no idea what the term means.
