We know Doug's offense works. 

We know Baalke's drafting mostly doesn't.

I do wonder if we give Doug too much of a free pass on these aspects.

Yes Doug won a SB in 2018, but that 6 seasons ago. Offense styles, schemes, and play calls change quickly in the league and often become less successful in a few years. Even after the finishing stretch with Jags and Trevor in 2022. Teams adjusted and took away the intermediate passing game. Sure the WR injuries and bad OL play made it close to impossible to overcome that, but I've heard a number of film people say the Jags offense, especially the running game, has been predictable under Doug & Press. The league is too good to just do the same stuff you did last week much less last month or last year unless you just have All Pro's at multiple positions, which the Jags do not have on offense. 

Not saying he will be "the problem" if this season fails, it really depends on how that happens to know if it will affect DP's job.
