JRob was a workhorse as a rookie, the majority of our line are run-first blockers that are less suited to the finesse and footwork required of pass blockers. We bring in a rookie QB and replaced nearly all of the receivers on this roster by week 1. So how did we approach our rookie's initiation? 51 passes and a virtually complete abandonment of the run game. Continual playcalling that leaves us in 3rd and long situations. And despite the struggles of our QB, the team continues to fail to adjust our scheme to even attempt to develop a running game to take some of the pressure off the QB and receivers. The OC (or higher) are setting the team up to fail, plain and simple, and that is why the OC is considered garbage.

Go back and look at Jedd Fisch's offense. It wasn't pretty, but it used the players we had where they had a chance to succeed. bubble screens replaced the run game. slants created quick pass opportunities to negate pass rush vulnerability and get players open. It feels gross, but dang if I don't long for those days again.

You make a few valid points  you shouldn't forget that the coaches don't think they have a good group of runningbacks. They have Carlos Hyde and some slow UDFA..what was his name again? Whether that is Meyer or Bevell or both I don't know but I've seen that they've been trying with screens to Shenault instead. 

I also disagree that coaches are setting Lawrence up to fail and that that's the reason Bevell is considered garbage. It's because Lawrence is playing like he does that posters start to blame the coaches. It couldn't be that Lawrence is at fault, could it? This is why it's concerning that, unlike the head coach, both the coordinator and qb coach have been around for a long time and have had success. If they can't make Lawrence progress then what hope is there?

Posters like to look at various names to replace coaches but that's where I think it's relevant to be clear what kind of track record Bevell actually has. How many Super Bowl winning coordinators do you think there really are? Then you can only pray that whoever you bring in will work out in Jacksonville...

It's probably best to get rid of everyone because we won't know who said or did what during this season but let's be realistic about the issues we faced this season.

Look, I'm not saying Bevell and Shotty are bums, but go watch some Patriots games and then watch Jags games.  Mac Jones has been put in a position to succeed by the scheme the team is running.  Trevor Lawrence is essentially being asked to do everything by himself.

The Patriots don't have world beaters at WR and running back.  They have good TEs, but their offense is well coached.  They game plan around their flaws and they don't ask their rookie QB to put it all on his shoulders by putting him in poor situations.  It's night and day.

Bevell got a lot of criticism for not running enough in his previous stops as well.
