The only time in his career (if you can call it that) that he had success, he was running the Moore/Manning offense in Indy in 2011, which is very similar to what our offense is now. Highest Passer Rating, Com Percentage and TD-INT ratio, in 8 starts. He went 2-6, but these were his best stats.
In his career he had 3 wins total, and 2 of them came in a "simple offensive scheme."
But I guess he knows better.......
Wouldn't that make him better qualified to access the offense than most? If he has played in a similar offense, he would understand it's weaknesses. Especially as he has been able to see offensive schemes develop over the last 13 years and has seen defensive schemes adjust and change over the last 13 years.
Saying "Hey, the offense worked 13 years ago so being critical of it now is hypocritical" is a poor argument. Defenses have adjusted. Other OCs have developed schemes that are harder for defenses to play against. Times change.
