Is Joe Brady the main issue on offense?

You're right but a variety of people who know more about football (Cosell, Romo, Orlovsky, etc.) than I do have mentioned that our passing concepts are rather simple and/or unimaginative.  

 

Andre Reed said their passing concepts back in the 90s were "vanilla" because they had the talent to make simple concepts work.  Brady doesn't have the luxury of talented wideouts.  So he should be working overtime to figure out how to scheme guys open. 

 

And doesn't it strike you as odd that pretty much every receiver sees their production go down when they start playing for Brady (Diggs, Palmer, Samuel, Moore, etc.)?

 

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.  But not Brady, he made durian juice.  

 

 

 

Also, the repetitive/pared-down playbook of the Kelly Bills offense was much more vertical and aggressive in nature, so it put more strain on defenders. Like, even if Brady's mesh routes actually work and Allen has the time to wait for them, they're still semi-horizontal routes that don't exactly put safeties in conflict. Allen's arm should be firing lasers downfield on seam and boundary 9s and posts and flags and skinnies and the like...not just crossers and swings and screens and contested fades. Threaten defenses through the air while also slashing them on the ground. Add in mucho motion and play action and let's effing go.
