Good poitns Ramseyfan - When Coles signed that major deal he expected to be THE man on offense. He came into a Spurrier throw first, throw second, throw third, fake punt throw 4th offense. This is what Coles was looking forward to! He wanted to the be corner stone of the offense. A guy that can take the game and be exciting - and when healthy he is that guy. Now he's stuck in one of THE WORST passing offenses in the NFL, and get's very few looks per game let alone receptions.

I always hear "Gibbs is master at adaptation" Gibbs will turn it around. The problem I've seen - is in 16 games we saw very little evolution as far as our offense was concerned. It took 8 weeks to change from an absolutely miserable quarterback who not a single other person could defend by week 3, a handcuffed offense who preached turnovers to the point of implosion, a gameplan that was so easily foliled by defensive juggernauts as the Browns that they told Wilbon things in the locker rooms that made skins-fans cringe. The offense rarely put any more than two receivers out - teams DIDN'T respect our passing game, and we did NOTHING all year to change that. We lost some games simply because Gibbs was too afraid to not only hold on to the lead - but extend it. You can't sit on a 3, 6, or 7 point lead in todays NFL with a quarter to go. Just doesn't work.

I'm sorry - I've seen no sign of improvement from the skins offense thus far, and Coles being mad about his role in the upcoming offense scares me even more. If both of our receivers want out of dodge - that doesn't bring good things for our passing game.
