It places the blame on our offense on our OL (we all agree) and on ZT and his 60% pass play calling thus under utilizing Mixon. It also points out the lack of play action used by ZT.

Personally, I think AD needs a change of scenery like many and time for Joe Burrow or best QB in draft (projected). But it does align what many have said, trade down and get more picks to rebuild the OL and then look at QB in round 2 or late round 1.

It also places the offensive woes squarely on ZT, not AD as many believed to be the main problem.

Thoughts??

Andy is what he is.  He's middle of the road starting QB coming up on the end of his contract.  If you're not giving him a $20+ mil a year deal, you have to go Burrow at #1.  You shouldn't give him that kind of a deal because the worst thing you can do is sign a mediocre starter to a big money deal.  

We can look at run/pass percentages, but the run game was largely ineffective the first half of the year and we are generally behind on the scoreboard, both of which cause you to pass more. 

Teams will give a boatload to move up for a QB because you can't win without one.  Get your QB, and then build around him.  Otherwise, you're going to give up a boatload to move up and get one in a couple of years.
