The coaching problems form the past two years are not someone's opinion. They are documented fact. Recorded statistics, such as nearly 80 straight pass attempts on 3rd and short, should not be overlooked.
Drew does have problems. Always has had them. Everyone in the league is aware of them. Drew also has a couple of assets that everyone in the league is aware of two. That's what happens when you've been around for 10 years. You aren't going to shock anyone with new abilities. Unfortunately, GW and Gilbride never seemed to have read that scouting report. Or any scouting report, for that matter.
As I've stated before, I absolutely refuse to judge the performance of any of last year's Offensive players because all of those performances were tainted by the coaching.
Case in point: Drew had nearly 50 sacks last season. How many do you think resulted from those nearly 80 straight 3rd and short pass attempts? Now, how many do you think resulted from the complete lack of a play action arrangement? That's just the two factors we've mentioned in this thread. Mr. Imobile might cut his sack total in half this year with very little change on his part. If Sam can teach Drew to let it go a bit sooner, that number might drop by 2/3.
