You would've said the same thing before last season as well. That would've absolutely been defined as "unprecedented territory."
No one is doubting that JJSS at least had some experience and that was beneficial. But the fact that he's been relegated far down the depth chart in NE tells you that perhaps this team and scheme made JJSS more than he might be on most teams. And that should give you some level of confidence that this stable of WRs with this QB and this coach can figure things out.
As for Rice, I'd like to see him on the field more too. We all would. But I'm also willing to trust whatever plan Reid has to for him as he's seen a lot more about what Rice is and is not capable of than we did in the limited sample size in the preseason and out there through the first 2 games.
I was much, much less confident before last season that the offense would be functional at a high level than I am about this offense's ability to bounce back for the rest of the season. The proof of concept was significant and the personnel has barely changed.
