You are attempting revisionist history to make a poorly formed point.

I totally disagree.  This offense in 2022 looked like a real NFL offense.  Everyone that remembers 2022 remembers how great this offense looked.  Yeah, there were games where Trevor wet the bed...  The London game comes to mind...  But even that game, Trevor drove us down the field constantly.

I remember people, including myself, at awe with how few 3 and outs we had.  We moved the ball.  We had route concepts that rivaled KC's.  Our O-Line was suspect and people were worried, yes even back then, that Trevor was going to get killed behind that line.

But we kept defenses on their heels and we played great.  What's more, we would look bad in the 1st half, and then...  in the 2nd half WE MADE ADJUSTMENTS!

I'm not being revisionist when I call back to 2022.  But maybe 2022 was the outlier.  I don't want to believe that.  But I clearly remember how good this offense was back then.  What changed and continues to not be corrected since then is the question.  To me, I think it's Doug's decision to allow his OC to have more control...

Maybe I'm wrong.  I hope I'm not.  Because if I'm wrong, then I guess we have to start all over again.  There will never be an O-Line that everyone is satisfied with, not in this league.  There will always be pressure on the QB.  It's the name of the game.  But the hope is that you have a HC and OC that can figure out how to get his players in the best position on most plays to get positive yardage.
