Sure, cassel isnt going to set NFL records as our QB. But he can be a successful game time manager if he has the right supporting cast around him, like he had back in NE. There are several issues facing the offense, but we do have some srs firepower on offense as well. The triple B-threats we have on offense can do some srs damage to opposing secondaries. Once we get Moeaki back, along with Charles, this offense has some srs weapons. The issue imo then becomes the OL and OC. Get those issues fixed (goodbye richardson and Muir) we can finally give Cassel the protection and plays he needs to develop into a legit NFL QB.
I remember Vermiel talking about how we managed to have the dominate offense we had back when he coached. He said it all started with the OL. The OL is the foundation for your offense. If you have a strong OL, you will have a strong offense regardless of who you have at RB and QB. Just look back at our offense under Vermiel. Derrick Blaylock looked like a pro-bowler for christ sake! Even Trent Green was a top 5 QB back then.
We are a couple players away imo from being a srs contender in this league.

Like I said, OC has nothing to do with our injuries and lack of offensive line. Also, inconsistency at OC has nothing to do with why the current OC sucks so bad, nor why the offense sucks so bad. The OC Sucks b/c he sucks, same goes for the OL. A new, GOOD OC will change that, keeping consistency and therefore Muir, will not. The offense has not changed. The fact that the OC has changed is not what's holding this offense back, it's WHO the OC is and injuries and the OL and the QB that hold this offense back. This offense does have an identity, they are a running offense that is having to learn how to deal with the loss of the best RB in the NFL.
