I agree. We can look at Paterno/Penn State, fairly, right?

Seriously, you just don't know (and neither do I) just how good this Lester offensive system can be. If you don't like it, fine. I do like it enough for now, but am not married to it. He deserves/needs more time for us to make grand declarations. But you seem to be so certain that is is an abject failure. There is no doubt, however, that some of the signs are NOT positive.

But, can you admit that these factors render a bad cocktail: New OC with a new offense, a defensive-oriented ACC (best defensive conference in the nation), 3 starting quarterbacks in 10 games, savior true-frosh QB in and out of lineup, (very) young talent, sub-par WR talent (other than Ismael), [B]poor OL play (huge problem, always seems to be)[/B], TE's that are short-range targets on a good day, decent talent at RB, and at least an instinct to take things slow tempo-wise as to not "expose" our defense.

I also happen to still think that the Carrier Dome, and even the new IPF, hinder our potential on offense during our 5-6 road games each year. But I have no hard proof on that front. The observation actually goes back to the early 90s. We struggle to throw the ball when playing outdoors. But I don't know how often we practice outdoors. I know we used to more often and still struggled.

Just do me a small favor, stop dividing by 3 and telling me you know the truth about anything.
