If you had the world's fastest race car, would you prefer the world's most qualified racer behind the wheel or a 16 year old with his freshly printed driver's permit behind the wheel?

It's really mind numbing to see both sides of this argument having staunch supporters of an all or nothing attitude camp wise.

The "It's the players and poor execution camp" Vs. "It's the the coaching and poor play design camp". It's both, it's [BLEEP] both!

Why can't anybody admit that? Why is that complicated to understand here? Again, you can have:

1. The right call with the wrong execution.

2. The wrong call with the right execution.

3. The right call with the right execution.

4. The wrong call with the wrong execution.

It's a soup. At this level? You're going to see people nitpick every little attention to detail.

It's a group project though, every week, there's film study, a gameplan installed, it's then practiced based upon the script, and then, some adjustments are made or failed to be made mid game.

When you weigh it all out though? Somebody has to unfortunately carry the heaviest of the burden after each loss because it's a sum of all things, however, somebody's sum, or, lack thereof, completely [BLEEP] the project up.

It's possible to lose football games even if your QB goes 25/25, 275 yards with 3 TD's and no turnovers.

It's possible to lose football games when you only score 20 points via a pair of TD's and 2 FG's but your opponent managed to score 21 points by simply doing enough 7 times to enable their kicker to make 7 FG's.

It's just the way it goes. Players need to catch virtually everything. Lawrence basically has to play perfectly. The team in general cannot afford to turn it over. The team cannot have mental errors in the redzone. The team cannot keep failing on short yardage situations. The defense cannot give up 16 play drives for 80 yards and nearly 8:00 - 9:00 minutes of time to the opposing offense.

Like Trevor said. They all suck. The players need to play better and the coaches need to coach better. Is the "It's the players and the poor execution" camp going to round up Trevor for that comment? And throw him off the Modis building for calling out the coaching staff after he's been with them for two years now entering year three?

Putting a different human in Press Taylor's place to call Doug Pederson's plays in Doug Pederson's offense has got to be the half-est of half-measures I could think of to alter the course of our offense. 

I think getting TL's drop back pressure percentage form 47% down to 25% would make about 1000 times more positive impact. 
That's a lot of "wrong execution" that is easily identifiable and often results with passing production left unfulfilled.

But sure. There are likely  better play callers out there, I'm sure. No idea what real effect it would have, though.
Doug is free to intervene all he wants with what Press (or any coordinator) is doing. None of us actually know how many plays on Sunday were called by Doug, how many were called by Press, or how many Press called that Doug altered.
