They’re guys who’ve actually played the game and have been in systems other than OBs. Not saying to take their word as gospel. Just that what they’ve said makes a whole hell of a lot of sense. It’s the best explanation I’ve heard as to why this offense is as inconsistent as it is. It’s not the play calling, the play caller, or QB this or that, that we all like to complain about. It’s that this offense is a gigantic clusterfuck that doesn’t put players in the best position to succeed because it’s impossible to get enough reps in it to make it 2nd nature.
Mr Tex mentioned DW4, Nuk and such not having chemistry issues. I disagree. Nuk, of course, is a stud who knows nothing but this offense really, the full 6 years in it. Hell, Nuk had a 1,500 yard season with Hoyer, Mallet, Yates and Weeden chunking the rock to him. Easy to have chemistry with that dude. Everyone else, not so much. Lamar Miller? He's had one 1,000 yard season since he's been here and that was riddled with a 149 yard game one week, 20 yards the next, throughout the season. Inconsistent.
And funny that when we do get a former players perspective, it falls on deaf ears to those who’s narrative it doesn’t fit. Sure, that works the other way too, but I’ll put more weight on a player who has actually been in multiple systems and has something to compare it to. Most of those former players with TV gigs are nothing but hot air when they open their holes, but they are all usually spot on when it comes to x's and o's.
If you want to ignore it, that's fine. Give me a reason better than that as to why this offense is so inconsistent. And don't throw it all on the players because this roster has had some serious turnover the last 6 years, and the players that are plugged in and rotated out, don't really seem to matter much. It all still looks the same, other than Watson bailing things out off-script.
