Could it be the offense is dumbed down b/c of Cam's condition

Do they honestly believe a chopped nut offense with Cam leading is a better chance of winning than Derek with a full playbook? Then again, we got that safety option with CMC which wasn't being used until being down 18 points in the second half of the third game of the season.

Shula and Rivera are very (over)reactionary on offense and usually several games behind the curve.

The coin has finally dropped that they should protect Cam with short passes and they realized he's lost his accuracy some with the deep ball. So they go all in vs the Saints with a bunch of hastily inserted horizontal passes and bubble screens. What was especially maddening was that played right into the Saints plan of playing 3 safeties).  

We'll see what they can do in upcoming games, but both coaches have shown as far as the offense their plans require everyone performing above what is asked of them which is why they constantly fail.

"Dumbing down" is what you do when someone can't handle the mental aspects of the job. 

"Scaled back" would be a better term to use for limiting the offense because the quarterback is injured.

Side Note: I'm sure someone will come in and say that a Shula offense couldn't possibly be dumbed down any further than it already is.

    • For the silly people that worship her it will be that.  The Coleman 'legend' thing, they did that with another fairly average player that was here and I sort of mocked or questioned the 'legend' status. Instantly caught crap for insulting someone's favorite Panther. So okay, Kurt Coleman is a Legend. 
    • You allow him to compete--you all are talking as if I am proposing making him the starter. Give him a new coach, new weapons, good OL, etc. and see what happens. You are saying, "Well Damn.  It did not work for 3 guys..."  Right now, our C is injured, we lost our top 2 WRs.  Better question:  If you need a QB, Why would you not take a chance on bringing in a QB who was a former first rounder, a good arm, intelligence, mobility, youth, etc.  and see how he does out of NY--with a better OL, better running game, better receivers.  I am not saying give him a 10-year contract, I am saying give him a chance. You act like there is no improvement on offense here--it was a 2 year process, and next year is year 2.  To me, how can you sit there with Bryce and an opportunity to sign a veteran QB on the cheap comes available and you say--"Not us. We're good.  We are waiting for Patrick Mahommes."  Jone's problem is obviously mental--and he has little support.  Why is this so frigging hard to comprehend.  It is called "bottom fishing" and it is better than sitting in the boat.  
    • I think we're going to fall from behind quite early and be forced to abandon the run game.  3 rushes -2 yards 1 catch -10 yards
