QB, or OC?

[MasterAwesome]

Casual fans really aren't equipped to be answering this question.

"Joe Brady gets most of the credit" - based on what?  Our elite receivers getting open?  How much of that is them being schemed open vs. their own talent/route running?  Most of the play designs I've seen on gameday have looked pretty standard...but again, I'm one of these casual fans who isn't equipped to be answering this question.  I, like most everyone else here, don't fully understand the intricacies of play designs, schemes, route running, etc.  Plus I just don't have access to all this information just from watching the game on TV every Sunday.

It's very difficult to assign credit when we've made so many changes in the course of one offseason.  If you keep most of the variables constant from the previous season (for example, QB and WRs) and change one variable (like OC) and experience greater success, then you say well there's reasonable evidence to suggest that the OC was the greatest contributor to that improvement.  If you change the OC, head coach, QB, o-line, and bring in a new #1 WR then things become a lot more muddled. 

My general observation on these boards is that Joe Brady seems to have been anointed as this incredible OC before he even called his first play here.  Not sure yet how much of that is confirmation bias (since virtually everyone was excited about the signing) and how much is legitimate.  Way too early to tell.

Indentation is a lost art. Pie.

Just like Brady’s system is meant to do. 
 

For years the huddle screamed for Cam to get the ball out quicker. We draft guys like CMC, Samuel and Moore for this exact reason. Now we have a OC that utilizes these guys the way they were intended for and the Huddle bashes the QB. 
 

Classic. 

I'm not "the Huddle". I wasn't screaming that about Cam in Shula's system. I was screaming how Shula needs to actually have some checkdown options available. Cam showed to be capable of using them in Norv's system.

I do never tire of your constant smugness while being completely tone deaf. Every time you quote me I know I'm gonna get a chuckle out of it.

Please don't make me dream about Cam in this offense it still hurts

Mostly OC, but that's not an indictment against Teddy.  No good QB is good on a bad team with a bad offense.  Similarly, no bad QB is good on a good team with a good offense.
