I still hold out hope that Doug can right the ship, if he wanted to.  It's still not too late for him to really take over the offense.  That's my hope, at least.  I know I'm completely out of sync with you and the other moderator.  But that's my opinion.

The difference between 2022 and 2023 was minuscule. 
Very little changed offensively. 
The OL got worse in the run game by a pretty wide margin. 
That was the biggest difference. 
Everything else stayed mostly the same. 

Now, if you want to go back to 30% more  of the mesh concept quick release passes, screens, and end-arounds while cutting back on the freshly added snaps under center and PA downfield passes, that's your prerogative. 

I personally like where we are headed with the more aggressive 2024 play calling changes. I think it'll be glorious if they can hit on 2 or 3 more of those chunk plays per game than they are currently able. I'm stoked we are trying it more frequently.
Just haven't been able to execute enough of them yet.

This part I 100% am in agreement with.

I would like to go back to more of the quick release passes. 2nd and 3? I'd rather a quick pass than try to bully ourselves up the middle over and over that's not working. Just take the training wheels off Trevor for once.

Also though, maybe all of this gripe can be mitigated if they can get the play calls in with time to make adjustments at the line
