QB or defense: what's the bigger problem?

again, what's 'efficiency'? sounds fishy for 'completion ratio'



thanks for the link. yes, i'm well aware we have a YAC based offense. god knows. it puts the onus on the WR and not the QB, thats the reason Brunell wasn't a serious pro-bowl consideration.

i consider expecting YAC to get us a first down on 3rd and long an extremely bad offensive strategy (especially when the defense knows its coming and encourages it) as do most of the fans, and published NFL pundits and commentators everywhere. don't you wonder WHY our offense is YAC based? it wasn't a staple of Gibbs era offense, it seems like an offense directly tailored to the limitations of our starting QB.

Our scoring offense is 10th in the NFL. Not bad, but you have teams like Dallas above us, and look at their efficiency rating. It's not even close. In a sport where points are scored 7 at a time, its tough to use total points at this point in the season to evaluate an offense. But we have scored 14 TDs through 7 games, and that I assume is good for league average, at least, despite some hard luck.
