Disagree. Zero chance kyle would allow guys like Hurts, Allen or Mahomes be who they are. He clearly wasn't gonna change his offense at all to suit the guy they invested the future in. That's for damn sure. Lynch said it himself.
people get all upset that we didn't draft so and so….ultimately those guys wouldn't have been who they are if they came here. Allen probably gets 100 passing attempts then we play Nick Mullens or some s**t. Mahomes and his unorthodox mechanics and play would have been beaten to death out of him. Bill O'Brien had to change his offense completely for Watson. Hurts would have been turned into a RB or some s**t.
Face it kyle wants who he wants. There's a reason why he didn't even look at Watson/Mahomes/Allen and had a boner over Kirk. Dude turned Brady away. I'll bet money he didn't want the QB to have all the power like Tom always did…Those special talent players don't always play within the system and that's a problem here.
NY, take a step back and look at how the 2022 season started. Lance was integrated into the run game because that is who he was coming out of college. Out of the box, he was a QB that could add a QB element to the run game and Kyle designed his 2022 offense around that. There were many clips of this in 2022 training camp. We saw a triple option play with Deebo and a RB in the backfield. Kyle designed an offense around Lance.
Ask why was Lance being used so much in the running game. It's because his passing game was subpar and he needed to use his legs to supplement the offense. To me, him being used so much in the running game in 2022 was because this was not a rebuilding team - it was a team that expected wins. So running Lance was a way to win games because it was something Lance could do right out of the box. He made the run game more effective.
The other side of the coin is that if the team was in a rebuilding mode, then call a bunch of dropbacks, less running plays, and give Lance more reps in the dropback passing game. If he goes '3 & out' because that's an area of his game that is lacking, who cares, it's valuable learning reps on a rebuilding team. It wasn't a rebuilding team.
