Don't get me wrong, a change was needed, but why not at least try to play to his strengths instead of trying to bang a square peg into a round hole. We show less advertisements to registered users.

I love Blake, and I don't think Foles is the second coming of Joe Montana or anything, but isn't it nice to be able to talk about the strengths of our quarterback in the passing game? I could probably meditate peacefully to this thought.

Yea, it was stupid of Marrone (but he's very, very stupid) to ask a guy like Blake Bortles to be Tom Brady. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

They dumbed the playbook down and just asked him not to turn the ball over. They never asked him to win games like Tom does every single week.

To me that was the mistake. Yes they dumbed it down to avoid mistakes. But what they should have done is designed it from the beginning to fit what Blake does best. Read Option is where Blake shines. They should have had more of that in the play calling.
Our offense is gonna look a lot like Philly's in 2017.. I just hope they change a few things up, or else all teams have to do is watch tape of that season and we are in trouble. I think as long as we give them a healthy dose of Fournette, switch between short, intermediate, and deep throws, and emphasize play action to keep the D honest, we will be good. Our schedule is basically the hardest in the league, though.

For instance if Fournette is struggling on those shotgun runs and the run game as a whole isn't doing great, will Marrone switch up to a more power based game to compensate?

I imagine they’ll go by what the opposing defense has given up historically coming into the contest and adjust if the initial plan isn’t working or the defense is adjusting to them well. Regardless, there will be a page in the book of power runs with Foles under center. I just hope that page includes some permutations involving Foles throwing the ball from that set if the defense is keyed on Fournette. The thing I’m most interested in is how they use Fournette catching the ball out of the backfield. I hope they get creative with that aspect.
Sort of an interesting draft in the context of our offensive philosophy. We took a move TE who probably ran more routes out wide than any TE in this years class and isn't the blocking type at all, and then added a back like Armstead who is very much so a one cut and go runner who isn't much of a space back at all.
Barring a trade it doesn't seem as though RBs will be emphasized in the passing game much bar the usual basic swing routes and stuff. I'd like to see a lot more screens with LF and Armstead as I think you can create a lot of big plays that way, kind of use it as a faux run game. I
I’d still bank on plenty of RB swings and screens.
Fournette has good hands, Cunningham has good hands, and Armstead reportedly does too even though he wasn’t featured that way in school. We show less advertisements to registered users.

Blake could not correct his mechanics, last year he reverted back to his drop the ball low windup. As a result, the ball came out slower and his accuracy was diminished. He could never maintain a level of accuracy required to be effective. He had some great games but they were too few and far apart to hold the starting position. So I don't believe any game plan could save his job. As a person he was a Hall of Famer, as a player he is at best a backup.

You might be right but I am going to be following his career and I will be rooting for him as long as he isn't playing against the Jags.

The Jaguars played with 3 WRs on the field 80% of the time on Sunday, one of the highest marks in the league. Granted we were chasing the game so it somewhat distorts things but I think it's good sign nonetheless We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!
