What you’re saying is this team is more finesse and less smash mouth and I agree with that. We’re built somewhat like the Peyton Manning era clots. The problem is we’re not nearly as good at QB and pass rush yet. But this team is built to win by getting a lead and then teeing off on defense in obvious passing situations and we’re not good at winning in other ways at the moment.

Also, when this team has been good historically, we’ve more often than not been more smash mouth and less finesse so this style is hard to get used to for fans of more physical teams like myself. That said, long term sustained success is more QB driven than by defense and power run so I’ll get used to it if Lawrence proves to be able to fulfill his potential.
