Speed is great but it isnt everything. So many dudes that are fast but arent good route runners and dont have good instincts or agility or just arent smart players and got by on speed and talent alone in College. That dont work well in the NFL. Everyone in the NFL has talent but then there is NFL talent which is elite. Those guys are excelling. Jerry Rice was not a 4.4 WR. He wwas one of those Molasses types you mention. But he played fast and was quick. Chad Johnson was a 4.65 guy.
Mac Jones does not have a good arm which is another thing you think QBs need to have, nor did Brees.
He is playing well as a rookie and will get better so that 7.2 YPA means little right now but he is a rookie and they are doing what they feel is best for him right now. You complained about Burrows 6.8 YPA last year and this year it is way up. Its a part of improving and growing.
You do know a West Coast offense isnt a stretch the field offense right? Not saying that is what the Patriots run but there are WCO in the league and have been for years. You keep mentioning stretching the field and every team does that but WCO dont do it as much. WE dont do it as much as last years offense did but you wont accept that lol. We are running a lot of bunch formations than we did last season. I assume if we are behind a lot you will see more spread out formations but against Baltimore, nothing seemed to be working. It happens sometimes.
