re: What we’ve learned, when Coach Kelly says

You seem to have the assumption the only thing wrong with the offense was the QB.
This season is reminiscent of 2018 when Jeaux had doubters until about mid-season when blocking improved, drops reduced and the offense gelled.

Correct. I have posted about 10 times that if we can establish the run, Daniels will see favorable matchups.

This. Daniels showed improvement against Tennessee in many of the areas fans have been screaming about (getting the ball out faster, letting WRs make plays 1-on-1, not bailing from the pocket too soon, etc.) but nobody wanted to see or hear it because of the score.

We went into the game without our starting LT then lost our starting LG in the first half. We couldn’t run the ball to save our lives. Our WRs missed some opportunities to make plays. And yes, Daniels missed some opportunities. Then the score got out of hand.

Regardless, Daniels did play better last week than he had previously. What we saw this week was A) him continuing to improve and B) everything else clicking in the offense.

For some reason people are obsessed with having a single point of accountability for success/failure, particularly on offense. It’s either the QB, or the playcalling, or the OL, etc… but that’s just not reality. It’s a team game and there are a ton of little things that contribute to a quarterback’s success or lack thereof.
