Now, it's Travis and ......all those guys. That are being asked to do way more than last year, which they aren't capable of.
So it's not that they are WORSE, it's that they aren't capable of what they are being asked to do at a higher level.

Exactly. I know people think we’ve got the same guys last year minus juju but we dont. Everyone is playing an elevated role and asked to do more.
I would also say defenses have adjusted to keep everything in front of them. Look at the cowboys and the jaguars (Trevor pre injury has been 1 of the top QBs). That jaguars offense evolved from leaning on etienne to last night where they were throwing the shit out of the ball. Look at how lafleur let Jordan love become a **** it and Chuck it qb.
Lefleur, McCarthy, pederson… these are 3 guys who started the season with a semi conservative offense and evolved to let their QBs just let it rip. Even stroud is a **** it and chuck it qb - he has some of the worst accuracy metrics but he isn’t afraid to just push it downfield. We just don’t have the flexibility to do that because of our wideouts.
