So your stance is that a more defined, limited playbook at a completely different pace with a different play calling-philosophy and different audibles was the same offense? And that's of course ignoring that we never really ran that read-option to any degree before and seemed to be much more aggressive when passing the ball, still obviously using a lot of the quick slants but sprinkling in a far heavier dose of intermediate and deep passes. And Nassib as a runner, while not a particularly exciting part of the offense, was a noteworthy change. A guy who ran for a total of 26 yards in 3 years with a high-water mark of 39 yards in 2011, ran for 130 yards this season. Not huge, but enough to make defenses think.
 
I think anyone arguing that this is the same offense needs to get over the notion that it's somehow a criticism of DM and Hackett and cone to grips with the reality that they deserve credit for critically evaluating what they were doing and making necessary changes.
