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

    • But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.
    • I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing. 
    • Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
