Do you know how many times BTj was the first read and it wasn't there? I don't, so I'm not going to sit here and say "X player should be targeted Y times minimum" because that isn't how it works. If you'll open up the memory holes you'll remember that you guys were [BLEEP] up a storm about them overtargeting Agent Zero last year, so forcing the ball to a guy who isn't open isn't what you want either. You're just mad that the plays aren't working, and that's fine. But these "solutions" aren't solutions, they're just grousing.

Disagree. Prioritizing getting the best players the ball is exactly how it works at all levels of football. Each week the primary goal of a play caller is getting the best players the ball because the best players make the most plays. It really is that simple. If something prevents that (scheme/OL protection/QB not making accurate passes/right reads, ect) you got inherent problems to address. 

No one is saying to force the ball every play to the point of diminishing returns. 4 targets back-to-back games is inexcusable and shows there are inherent problems in the offense. There's a wide range of middle ground to found between 4 targets and forcing the ball to him every snap. The solution to an offense that struggles to score points is getting the ball to the guys that can score points... It's the coaches' job to figure out how.
