I get the opposite vibe.
*(Maybe in this forum the responses are a backlash against GTripp vocal dislike?)

I feel like most objective evaluations or criticisms of Kyle's offense are met with knee jerk (and often over the top) defenses or rationaliztions.

The main argument centers on the lack of talent.

For example (and forgive me for re-hashing (man I miss college, I would love to re-hash...I digress..)) but the 1st of Kyle's offense was actually worse then Zorn's last year in every meaningful offensive category.
Yet the very mention of the actual metrics, even without an actual good/bad value judgement, was met with scorn.

None the less..
I think Kyle has some great concepts in the passing game.
However; his overall lack of balance pass vs run concerns me.
But I hope/suspect (that even without Kyle becoming more balanced) Griffin and Co. (Garcon, Hankerson etc) are the tools Kyle needs to execute his pass first offense.

But Kyle has shown that he can create a high octane offense when he has high quality toys. Therefore I expect a more robust showing from him this year.
