While I agree with this statement, you have to understand that Pagano and Chud, just kept preaching win your match ups, time and time again.

No emphasis was given to scheming guys open. Well, in that scheme with all the verticals that were being run by everybody but Doyle, TY was the only one who was going to win his match up consistently, and the ball either went to TY or Doyle out of necessity.

Finally, Luck has the protection he needs to be all he can be. If Ballard is as successful next year, prioritizing on drafting for D as he was this year with the emphasis on the O-line, we can be 2 years ahead of the rebuild. Bottom line, this team is fun to watch, after seeing the Pagano led shit storm for the past few years. To paraphrase a Broadway Joe quote,

"I can't wait til tomorrow, cuz this team gets better every day."

And somehow Darius Leonard is 3rd in DROY voting, behind Derwin James (debatable) and Leighton Vander Esch (give me a fucking break).

And yet the same group of dorks gives Leonard some DPOY votes, while neither of the two ahead of him for DROY get any.

Amazing what actually protecting your quarterback will do. He was always capable of this, he showed this potential at Stanford. He was just too busy running for his life to show it. Lost several years due to a GM that couldn’t find talent and s coach that inexplicably wanted to run a long ball offense with a oline that couldn’t block.

Right, which in of itself protects the QB. Luck is still throwing long bombs (sorry Skip, but he isn’t just dink and dunk Luck) but it isn’t obvious and he doesn’t face 3rdamd long every down. Just thinking of the previous scheme, staff, and front office pisses me off.

I'll take dink-and-dunk, long, sustained drives all game long.

In the 1980's, part of the season why the Miami Dolphins' "Killer B" defense went from being vaunted to being at or near the bottom of the league was the fact that Dan Marino would often score very quickly, and the team's defense was subsequently on the field a lot.

I don't think it's all attributable to time in the pocket. Some of it is mechanics. Luck spent a ton of time on his lower body and I think we're seeing it help. Remember the balls that would sail on Luck in the past? We aren't seeing that as much this year.

Luck is a fantastic player. In 2015, we're 11th in the league on 3rd down, add an ol and were 1st. Under brissett, were 18th. I'd love to say this is a comeback story, but it's really not.
