Of course I did.  It was a great way to start the thread, and I share some of those concerns, as much as I defend Marrone and the current staff.  The bunch formations in particular make me scratch my head a bit, and I believe Marrone himself said that they are looking into that in the offseason, studying what other programs are doing to "attack the whole field" or some such locution.
 
But I see your concerns as more of an issue going forward.  I simply do not believe that last year could have been much different, even in theory, given personnel and injury status.  In general we could not "attack the field" 20+ yards out, because our QB simply can't hit guys deep, and I do not believe that can be fixed.  If another QB isn't ready to go this year then it is a failure of the staff to get someone ready in year four who can "attack the whole field."  Maybe they shouldn't have recruited NYS QB's almost exclusively, guys who are going to need a lot of work to get ready given the state of HS football in NY.
 
And as much as it may "wow" you, I am content with what they got out of the offense this year.  It will get better with time, through both coaching decisions and talent.  But it's mostly about the talent.  I say "wow" at how much blood you seem to think can be squeezed from this stone.
