His coaching staff has been depleted more than anyone else in the NFL the past 7 years.
I think Kyle actually gives his coaches a ton of responsibilities. He's just the final say in regards to the offense. I think his overall passing concepts aren't anything special. His running game is very good, when people are executing properly.
we've had way too many early down penalties and piss poor run-blocking to make everything work. Once were forced into consistent passing plays, that's when the s**t hits the fan. We don't have the true pass blockers. The play calling isn't amazing. We lost our best separating WR….and while I love Brock I don't view him as some elite level QB that can make chicken salad out of chicken s**t.
If anything, Brock has consistently made chicken salad out of Shanahan's chicken s**t gameplans.
He's missed reads a plenty and hasn't been as accurate as you would hope. His mechanics overall aren't great right now. He's never gonna extend a play and throw a 60 yard rope downfield on a broken play. He can move and make stuff happen, not saying he can't….We were so use to Jimmy G that anything else looks like Josh Allen. Teams (from what I've seen) aren't defending Brock like they do with Allen/herbert/burrow/mahomes/jackson etc.
he's not gonna truck dudes running downfield like Allen does. He's not 6-5 240lbs. He is very much a rhythm passer, who depends on the running game to open s**t up. IMO his game is very similar to Baker mayfield, he just doesn't have the overall arm that Baker has.
what I'm saying is if you're paying a guy $250M to be the QB, he's gotta elevate everything. He's gotta take over a game and if the running game isn't working, it shouldn't be the end of the game. Love Brock, I just don't think he's ever gonna be in that elite tier of guys.
also moving off Kyle, means moving off Lynch and quite possibly Brock depending on whomever they hire…it more than likely means rebuilding rather than straight to SB championships. I know none of you are willing to do that.
