I'm gonna go with the majority of people who believe the over-reliance on that play is because the OC sucks. Maybe we're wrong but that's the way it seems to many.

 

I'm not going to sit here and tell you that Brady is great. But putting it all on him is foolish. Watch the All 22 or go to a game and you can see, way more often than not (pretty much all season long) - *no one* is open for Josh. Khalil is included in this. If he were getting open, you'd be hearing analysts and fans alike saying "Khalil is open consistently and you're not going to him" instead of "Josh needs help and no one is getting open for him". We wouldn't be bringing in everyone from Brandin Cooks to Gabe Davis to Mecole Hardman to help out.

 

Again, that has a lot to do with the fact that teams know he's the guy to watch out for and key in on him more than our other options. And as good of a Slot as he is, he's not a #1 that's going to overcome heavy coverage.

 

Too many fans want to just say "it's all Brady's fault". But that's not the truth. It's a combination of a poor WR core that can't get separation and a poor Offensive Coordinator. Putting it all on one or the other is not being honest about the situation.

 

Brady is not so dumb or lazy as to call up that low percentage play as often as he does and watch it fail as often as it does and keep doing it for no reason. The reason is Shakir can't get open consistently but he's dangerous with the ball in his hands. And that play is the only way to consistently get the ball in his hands with the little to no help he's getting to take attention away from him downfield.

This is absolutely fair.

 

I'm actually the last person to apportion blame on entirely one thing... because the majority of times (in life and in football) there are contributing factors.

 

I should have been more clear... the wide receiver talent is subpar but I place a higher percentage of the blame on Joe Brady. He should know the shortcomings and the strengths of his players and scheme them open to a higher degree than he presently does.

 

The fact of several wide receivers who came here from poorer QB situations and whose production has cratered here despite playing with Josh tell me that it's more the OC than the WRs.

I dont care about hockey.   But people who do, especially people from the Northeast United States and Canada really overestimate its popularity.  Its odd how hockey fans are not able to see why an owner wouldn't sink tons of money into a drowning sport.

 

Thank you for stating the obvious.  Since your rose-tinted glasses see a narrative you don't like you apply your own small world view thoughts to it.  Perhaps Pegs isn't sinking $$$ into HIS franchise there are many other owners that are.  And those franchises are making $$$ obviously MUCH to your chagrin.  Flame on hater.....flame on.
