Chief X_Phackter 10-12-2021, 10:16 PM We knew that we didn't have a franchise qb and were going from a 32nd ranked offense. We basically hoped for stability at the qb position. In addition our free agent splash Samuel has been MIA, we are without the right side of our line, our main compliment to McLaurin is out, our hopeful rookie receiver is out. And our star rb has a fractured shin.
12th in scoring is pretty damn good, and I don't feel bad being happy with that. Yes a few plays could have been better. The first quarter issues could definitely be better. But I am not depressed about the offense at all.

I have acknowledged that there weren't a lot of expectations with regard to the offense, especially as compared to the defense. But just in general, it is depressing (to me) that we are cool with a "serviceable" offense.
skinsfaninok 10-13-2021, 12:01 AM Carter has been legit. He will be a stud WR2 soon

I think we are saying that at worst it has been serviceable. There is nothing wrong with a low ceiling that is serviceable is there?
Doesn’t mean at best it is superb but I never feel like they do not have a chance to move the ball and or score.

But weren't we kind of expecting only a serviceable offense with Fitz being signed as our number 1? We basically went into the season with some upgraded receivers, and 3 back up qbs...
Our d was supposed to be the thing that was above average. I think our offense was always going to be considered only average at best.

Now all we have is a serviceable offense and a dismantled defense.

Exactly nobody is saying our offense is set for ten years. Our defense on the other hand which appeared to be close to a finished product has been a train wreck.
IMO the offense has exceeded expectations even if the bar was low ya gotta be happy that it is better than we thought. Almost top 10 in points per game is not exactly average or serviceable.

Who is cool with a serviceable offense? Nobody on this site. I think we all know that we still have a a lot of work to do to build the offense we need in order to contend.
The fact that we finished on top of the trash heap that was the NFC East last season should have changed nothing in regard to the building process. But it did. It distracted Ron Rivera from focusing on the goal of building a contender. He is instead trying to win now by bringing in veterans and playing them over developing young players who were coming along nicely. Rivera has lost his way.
As for Taylor Heineke, I think that 90% of the people on this site know what we have in him. He is a fearless gunslinger who is capable of winning or losing games for us with magical throws or horrible interceptions, and one result is just as likely as the other. Yes, we need a Franchise Quarterback, and soon. Nearly everybody here knows that.
skinsfan69 10-13-2021, 08:43 AM “How they've improved: There aren't many candidates here -- maybe returner DeAndre Carter -- but Heinicke certainly qualifies when you compare him to where he was in 2020: attending classes at Old Dominion University. He was just about done thinking he'd be back in the NFL. For that reason alone, he is the WFT's most improved player. Heinicke has his limitations, and they're on display against really good defenses -- four combined picks in losses to Buffalo and New Orleans. But he has thrown for 1,208 yards and eight touchdowns (with five picks), and he has led two late, game-winning drives. His future might just be as a solid backup, but a year ago he was an NFL afterthought.” -- John Keim
I would put Carter on the field a lot more. That guy just seems like he is a football player. Kind of shocked he has bounced around as much as he has.

I think we're saying the same thing here.
