Yes, seriously

An offense that had a future NFL starting qb,


Mett is obviously a good player and has a shot in the NFL. To say he's a future starting QB is pretty ridiculous at this point. He was a 6th round pick who is currently 3rd on the Titans depth chart.

You do realize that we ran spread formations with Mett right?

two excellent wide receivers


You don't need receivers for a spread offense? We've got receivers.

and a nfl starting caliber three down running back?


We have running backs too. We continuously put running backs in the NFL. We might have our best one ever.

Well guys, one good season out of ten aint bad.



Do you honestly believe we've only had 1 good offensive season out of the last 10?

Are you confusing the spread with the spread option?

If anything, you need a better QB to throw out of a spread passing attack.

That is more semantics. There are variations of the spread and variations of the pro style. However, we had stacked personnel last year. Even with that, it wasn't a prolific offense. Take away the better players and you are left with an offense that Les loves. Three runs and a punt.

I disagree with that. The best thing for an inexperienced or not necessarily great QB is to put in good positions to throw. Not 3rd and long when the defense is waiting for him. Plus give him a few more options to throw to. Also from the shotgun the QB can concentrate more on looking downfield as soon as he receives the snap instead of having to play action and then drop back.
