But this year, it should be Coach Pederson's second year with Trevor Lawrence in his offense!!!  This year would be a huge leap in terms of offensive superiority.  Trevor and Doug, together creating a relationship like Montana and Walsh!!!!!  It was all so easy to see!!!  

Instead, it's obvious Pederson isn't coaching the offense and gave up those responsibilities to Press Taylor.  

I mean, think about it.  Everyone knows, even if they don't want to admit it, that this offense over the last 2 weeks doesn't look, schematically, like last year.  So are we now looking at a 3rd straight year of Trevor Lawrence having to work through a new offense?

Rookie Year:  C.U.M.
Year 2:  Pederson's Genius
Year 3:  The Press Taylor Project to ensure Press Taylor gets to be HC somewhere and Doug Pederson can create a coaching tree; all for the Hubris of these 2 dudes at the expense of developing a 
            SB team and a potential HOF QB.

Coaching and calling plays are two VERY different things.

Also - this board questioned the heck out of Pederson's play calls in 3 or 4 losses last year too, so I wouldn't be so quick to rush into all this Pederson great/ Taylor bad stuff.

And AGAIN: 
It is the same offense as last year!!
Stop acting like it is a new offense. 
It is not.

Coaching and calling plays are part of the same thing.  They are the the responsibility of the person running that squad.  Last year, it was Pederson that controlled the Offense.  This year, it's clear he's not running the Offense.  He's turned over the play calling and practice sessions to Press Taylor.  Taylor changed up the schemes, he's changed the plays.  Press still takes the same risks that Pederson did. But his risks are gambles that are of EXTREMELY LOW PERCENTAGE.  Press is clearly trying to get a HC job.  And he's doing it at the expense of this offense and our franchise QB.

Sorry, it's not the same offense.  It's just not.  Go watch highlights of last year and watch highlights of this year.  It's not the same.  I will admit that our O-Line this year has messed up certain plays.  But the plays are not the same, regardless...  Last year, Pederson let Trevor read plays between the 20s.  Trevor had multiple progressions to go through last year.  And mostly he made the right decision, but sometimes he'd be inaccurate.  Then, when we got inside the 20, then those plays became scripted and 1 read concepts.  Read the first throw, if it's not there run or throw it away.  The designed 1 read plays last year mainly were inside the 20s.  

This year?  We're running specific plays so much more than we did last year between the 20s.  Look at Trevor's first sack from yesterday.  There was only one read.  You mentioned it in another comment yourself that you're sick of all the gadget plays!!!!  Those gadget plays are 1 read plays!!!!!  We never did that garbage last year between the 20s!!!!  We're run gadgets last year, but usually it was when we were in the red zone or near it.  This year???  It's just not the same.  It's only 2 weeks.  But it's like I'm watching a Bizzaro version of what we had last year.  This isn't the same offense.  Just go look at highlights from last year and compare them to the highlights this year.  These are not the same offenses...  

You can bold up your words.  But it doesn't change what we are watching.  It's just not the same game.  You can't shout at me and tell me that I'm wrong when I am watching plays from last year and comparing them to this year and seeing how obviously different it looks.

I've been watching these 2 videos during my breaks... The highlights from last year VS the highlights from Sunday are just night and day different. It's obvious, man. It's 2 different offensive squads. There must be a reason that our offense looks so much different from one season to the next... I mean, I don't know how else to explain it. This offense is being coached by someone other than the person that coached them last year.
