That’s fair. However, what’s stopping me from agreeing with you is the fact that Tomlin had a chance to hire an offensive coordinator that would bring a fresh perspective (like Kingsbury, who wanted to interview). Instead, he doubled down and hired someone who specifically had success playing a power-run, conservative style offense in Tennessee and Atlanta.Not comparing them -
But was the offense ever ultra conservative with Big Ben ?!?
It’s a silly narrative - the offense has been conservative because the qb okay has required it .
Also, it’s not like Wilson couldn’t throw the deep ball anymore. He was still top ten in air yards per completion, essentially a deep ball passing %, yet was in the bottom half of the league in terms of air yards per attempt, or how far you throw the ball on average.
