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

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
