IMO, age is the
main factor.
I don't believe Edwards' main concern is building the #1 offense, no question. He's as much as said that. But for the first two years, he was basically forced to hold onto a flower that was dead on the vine. Factor his philosophy in with a bunch of players that are past their prime and it's a recipe for the precipitous drop that we had.
I'm not sure Edwards will ever be a great HC. I think his conservative style isn't going to work in today's NFL. But I also don't think he's anywhere close to the worst in the league, and I think looking at offensive ranking to make that argument, while ignoring all the other factors is stat cherry-picking at it's worst.
