But I'd rather Cooley and the rest of these guys stop talking about the flaws in Zorn's offense and start looking forward. It doesn't look good to just keep blaming the guy who left.

Especially when just two years ago you were saying this:

"I really like what Coach Zorn has done. I like what we're doing as an offense, because he's really put us in a position to make plays,"

He's a pro athlete, is he supposed to say how bad the offense sucks, and how he thinks he's gonna have a shitty year? The difference between then and now is that zorn was completely unproven, and Shanahan, even on his bad teams, always had one of the best offenses in the league.
