Message: [QUOTE="IthacaBarrel, post: 34624, member: 363"] The thing is most aren't asking for the world, just dreaming of a productive offense or should I say a competent one, dare to dream! I admit 5 years ago I was looking for a Leach type guy but at this point and for the time being, if we can have a really good defense most years, i will take a top 40-50 offense and roll the dice. Average is such a huge improvement and again I dont care what the scheme is just get the yards and score some freaking points, pretending that we are actually getting better or showing any improvement is absurd. Moving from 94 to 87 isnt improvement, IMO. Stink still stinks, Time to call a spade a spade, and at this point I discount the recruiting debate about giving Marrone time to recruit because he has had enough time to at least show SOME improvement, he flat out isnt getting it done on the offensive side of the ball at this point. I like Marrone and definitely think he will be here a long time and want him to be but the offense needs a change, even the Marrone's Jergens crew said that this was the year for the offense to carry us, to show a large improvment but yet again, we get the talent argument, the he just needs more time, the recruiting stuff, well lets see some IMPROVEMENT, something that makes one feel like we are moving in the rigght direction. I agree we need to recruit better but He had two years to try and replace Carter, to get a game changer at the WR position or a JUCO TE, somebody but people act as he was still dealt this hand 3 years later, its nonsense. I am not discounting the good things Marrone has done but the offense is still an unmitigated disaster and the reason we can't take an inferior opponent to the woodshed which I believe we will see this Saturday once again, does anyone actually believe this offense is capable of hanging 50 on Tulane, Army can do it but we can't Are you ing kidding me? We have not one QB that has even challenged Nassib at this point and that is freaking sad, that is not good because Ryan has been OK but this is what is wrong with the program, we should at least have one guy that should be challenging a very average college QB but we don't. It is now the gorilla in the room for me. I have had it because our offense sucks so bad we have no room for error anywhere, you cant win that way year in year out. Yes wew need more talent but 75% percent of the problem with the offense is the scheme and the guys who implemented it. Sure it works with Drew Brees so it must be a good scheme!! [/QUOTE]
