Putting aside the straw man stuff (in my post I never said go fast tempo all the time or any of the other fantasy quotes you made up), I will agree with you that given the talent that was available last season, especially in the second half of the season, there wasn't a whole lot that could have been done to make the offense better. 
 
Chew got hurt as he always did and was useless after a couple of games.  Kobena was not ready to play and also got hurt, Lemon got hurt (but was still able to play with one arm), Gulley got hurt, AAM got hurt, Sales was not available, Foster got hurt almost as soon as he started playing (I am a huge fan of him BTW and look forward to his return next season).  The OL could not pass block well, neith could our RBs.  And the QB had problems throwing long on the rare times when we ran deep routes and got decent pass blocking. 
 
Those are serious constraints.
 
Still, Stevens could have been used a lot more.  He was our only TE who might be able to get yards after the catch.  David can catch and run.  Flemming could have been used a lot more.  We played a walk on more than we played him.   I think  the staff really misused Dorian Graham, who made something happen whenever he got the ball.  I think Jerome Smith should have gotten a lot more playing time.  You have to put your best athletes out there to have your best chance to win.
 
We didn't have to play 2 TEs and a FB so often.  Or even 1 TE and a FB.  Especially not in passing situations.  I hope this changes this season.
