Started writing a more detailed response, but my computer froze.

Bills, there is very little in your post that I disagree with--I think we are pretty much on the same page.

The one thing I want to be clear about is that I am NOT defending the system--in large part because I don't think what we're seeing IS the system [at least, I hope not]. That's why I view some of the criticism about the product we're seeing now on offense is misguided. CIL's post on page one [or whatever] makes perfect sense to me--the coaches recognize the importance of winning in the short term, and they're doing what they think is the best approach to winning games now with the hand they have at their disposal.

I agree that it makes sense to start running the offense, if for no other reason than to establish the footprint / baseline, and to get personnel acclimated to it. And we need to get better talent in the pipeline at every positional unit, so that in two years we've got SIX competent WRs instead of 3, and so that our OL rotation isn't comprised of 6 marginal players, but rather 10 upgraded ones. Etc.  And improved QB recruiting is a big part of that transformation, as well.  Right now, I don't have a clue whether Kinder, Hunt, Broyld are going to solve what's been an ongoing problem since McNabb's graduation.
