Is Shula to blame or the return of KB?

Lets say both are to blame and its just one struggle (lets ignore the oline for 1 sec because its more than just that)

I'm going to slightly take up for Shula here and say I don't believe last year was an anomaly. I think Shula benefited from not having a WR he "has" to get involved. Now you can blame Shula for struggling with a number 1 receiver, but that's what it was. 2014 was also a struggle with KB so signs point to the disconnect being there

Is it time to stop the traditional 1,2,3 WR offense? Is it time to stop treating Benji as the number 1? Is it time to involve Philly, Bersin and maybe even Byrd in to this offense, maybe go back to a 3,3,3 offense giving Cam more options instead of just always following his number 1 read first then his next? Cam is best in a offense with a quicker pace, more options, and he makes the decisions. Can this be done with Benji? This offense gets stuck in 2nd halves of games and its one reason we're 3-6. Its almost as if defenses have 2 game-plans for the 1st half and 2nd half

I blame Cam for using him as a crutch for poor decision making and I blame Shula for not factoring this into the gameplan and drawing up more effective plays. Smitty was the same deal but a guy that can get open for a deep ball is a more effective panic button for Cam than guy he has to hit between the numbers in the middle of traffic.

Gettleman shares blame too because there's no force feeding Benji if the o-line was competent.

KB is a huge asset. however he can be a dumbass. all of his mistakes are stupid ones resulting from not concentrating. he needs to get his head in the game with some consistency and we'll be fine.

One of his knocks coming out was drops, and lapses in concentration.  Sometimes they get better....most times not.

I'm still a huge fan of his though....can be a game changer if used correctly.

Can't really ignore the oline they were horrible in run blocking, which made us one dimensional majority of the game, KB is only effective running certain routes like slants and hitches, we need to upgrade the running game or get a true #1 wr. Fix that and the offense will be worlds better. Until then can't really fault the oc

    • Let's pause a sec and rewind. The hype for Bryce Young before we drafted him was beyond anything I've seen in a long time. If you're trying to tell me now after all the hoopla about his ability to make those around him better and the comparisons to hall of fame players across different sports leagues that him taking the next step this year fully hinges on Adam Thielen then we're probably already doomed. Thielen is not going to keep any defenses up at night. He has good hands and very low YAC. We have 4 young WR's ahead of him with potential that need crucial development and we certainly need to find out what we have in them sooner rather than later because regardless of what transpires this season the QB room should undoubtedly be getting a hard reset. Those reps need to go to the young WR's regardless. Bryce needs to step up and take ownership of the relationship between himself and his young receivers. That's why we drafted him.
