I'm not Daz... so I don't want to pick on the kid... but, that article was just terrible.
First, the offense has not been the problem this year. The Defense has been ridiculously underperforming... and the kid just glosses over that by conclusively stating Don Brown and Jim Reid are good at coaching D. The kid goes on to reference being a missed extra point away against Ped State. But, he fails to realize that the only reason why the kicking game came into play that day was because our D was absolutely atrocious. Christian Hackenburg made millions from that single game (a game where Third Down Donnie Brown gift wrapped a big win to his future conference mates).
Second, he complains about the lack of a throw game. In doing so, he fails to point out that the QBs have not been terribly good at BC. No one should want them to be a pass-first team. I get it... Kim can score at will when passing on 1st down on Madden Mobile. But, here is who he thinks should be airing it out: AB, Wade, Towles, Smith, Fadule, Flutie. That's a list of starting QBs since 2015. Our best QB under Daz has been Tyler Murphy, who was essentially a RB playing QB. Incredibly, Kim uses stats from that 2014 season to further his wish for more of a throw game. Our best passer under Daz was the final year of Rettig (who was only 61% for 1995 yards and 17/8 TD/INT... with every team trying to stop the Doak Walker winner). AB has the most potential... but, he is nowhere near fulfilling it. And, post injury, he has no mobility (which was a nice piece of his arsenal). Bottomline, ANY coach is run-first with that stable of QBs. If you want to complain about something, complain about the staff's inability to pick a style, recruit a QB for it and develop them. Don't stupidly rely on stats when the starters can't hit wide open WRs. That said, Millennials believe that all things they weren't paying attention to can be summarized by statistics... but, when they ARE paying attention, they are uniquely woke to offer a nuanced take.
Third, seriously. This kid is comparing McVay and the Rams (during Goff's best game ever) as the reason why Daz sucks. That is such an absurd comparison that it sinks the entire argument. It would be like Daz countering this by saying Bama's QB only throwing the ball 8 times on Saturday is proof that his run-first system is perfect.
I skimmed the rest of the way-too-long article. I'm glad he wrote it because it will be fun to watch ts and Meat Baum get all worked-up. But, dispationately, it is a pretty terrible piece of writing (both in style and substance). Some may say the author is to sports journalism what Daz is to modern offenses.
