A pass 1st offense weekly lament

[Paintrain]

Run first, pass first, who cares? If we have personnel that suports a passing game, then we should emphasize that. A pass first offense hasn't hurt New Orleans and Green Bay much, has it?

IF we were winning or even if the offense was merely productive I don't think anyone would care if we were run first or pass first because either style of offense can win.

As you suggest with Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers clearly the QB is the central figure in executing a pass first offense.
One really needs to look no further then Rex to decide whether or not we had the personnel to support that style of offense.

Imo and if you look at the numbers Kyle has been a pass first coordinator.
And like many other pass first OC's his reliance on the pass was often counter productive.

Robert Griffin and the new WRs go a long way towards assembling the personnel to actually support a pass first offense.

The 2 first rounders and the second that we gave up don't.

Proper cost-benefit analysis involves weighing the net benefits RGIII/Luck provides vs. what the net benefits the other picks provide.
