re: Does our style of "pro style" offense hinder our passing game?

Our personnel groupings & formations are very much pro style. Just because we aren't pass heavy doesn't mean that the aspects aren't pro style oriented.
We are run heavy right now because the coaches are playing to the personnel's strengths right now. This season we have inexperience at WR & QB. We have a veteran O-Line & a plethora of power backs. The coaches are just trying to win games while allowing the young guys to develop. That's the point you are not understanding. It may not be pretty & doesn't please those who wide open throw the ball all over the field offense but what is being done right now will pay dividends next season. The things you want to implement only add more to the plate of the young skill players. When you do that, you open your offense for more mistakes & turnovers which would lead to more losses. It's basically impossible to change an offenses philosophy & identity like that midseason. That would cause even more problems then what we currently see.

never should have come to this. Anyone with half a brain could have forseen this. We are not a run heavy offense we are a run only offense. The passing game has a very week heartbeat. NOt going to win shite with that sort of offense. Far to late to change now. Mediocrity was pre ordained for this season going back to last spring. I wouldn't be harping on it if I hadn't seen what this team could have been capable of. It's done now so who care? F it.

We shouldn't be running an offense that is so difficult for young skill players to understand. We are going to constantly be in that situation with the rush to turn pro these days. Last seasons mix of talent and experience was a rarity. Running a simple run heavy offense out of the pistol and shotgun and getting rid of the complexities of the 'pro style' pre snap hand signals, QB reads, other reads, route trees, and other shite you say makes it a pro style seems to be a problem. If its' to complex to learn in a year we shouldn't be running it.
