Great thread, Warlus; it's sparked some awesome discourse. I'm with you on Kubiak. He's one of the best offensive minds in the NFL, and a lot of teams try to copy their rushing system, but Shanahan and Kubiak consistently have efficient running games - among the best every year. Give me Kubiak, Jeremy Hill, and a new O-line, and I'll be doing back flips. But I agree with you almost completely about our passing game. I think Wallace is fine, but he has to be the 2nd guy - the one that blows the top off. The lead dog has to be a physical guy who will catch a 20 yard square-in in traffic, and he has to be a strong RAC player. Brian Hartline should be nothing more than a guy you bring in to play boundary in 3-WR sets so that you can put your top guy in the slot.
Exactly. Agreed 100%. And that 20 yard square in is one of my very favorite routes in the NFL. It's really too bad we're picking too late in the first to grab Sammy Watkins. He's such a perfect fit for Kubiak's offense. I realize everyone thinks we have to spend our first four picks on the offensive line but I think there are some good players out there to be had this year in FA.
