The very best coaches are those who can shape their offenses around the talent available; putting players in the best position to be successful.
Stubbornly refusing to modify what you do in hopes that you can "teach" players to fit your system typically doesn't work.
The more I read about Shurmur and how even the schemes taught to wide receivers to get separation aren't working (but aren't being changed up) makes me wonder just what the talent level of some Browns players really is.
How the hell can you accurately evaluate talent when you're basically putting round pegs into square holes?
The only thing that gives me even a modicum of hope is that Shurmur did put in some plays last week that used the talents of the people in those plays. But his basic offense has been the most putrid thing I've ever seen in a Browns uniform.
My biggest beef is that they came into the season against the 8 ball (new coach, new offense & no OTA's/shortened training camp). You'd think instead of forcing the issue (gotta have that 3, 5 & 7 step drop) they'd put the QB in his comfort zone (shotgun) and sprinkle the WCO in (a little at a time) then go full bore at it when they had more time to implement it. That plus the fact that the QB isn't permitted to audible are a recipe for disaster.
I mean, the end results are "wins" not "who is right", correct?
