See, I'm in the 'talent wins football games' camp. KC succeeded offensively because of Jamaal Charles. Since Haley arrived (meaning Cassel's career in KC) Kc averages 20 PPG with Charles in the lineup. We average 13 PPG without him.
Charles makes a bigger difference than an OC.
1 good WR being thrown to by a garbage QB is what we have on offense. That's it.
Same thing in NE. McDaniels didn't make Cassel look good. Moss and Welker did.
Talent wins games in this league.

Charles was here in 2009 for the whole season. The Chiefs scored 18.4 points.
In 2010, the Chiefs scored 22.9. Again, JC was here the whole season.
In 2011, the Chiefs are averaging 15.65 points per game with Cassel in.
JC played the first game in which the Chiefs scored seven points.
As far as Moss/Welker. Yes, they are great. But, McDaniels was able to get over 25 points a game out of a Cassel led offense. You think he would struggle this much with Cassel along with Bowe, Breaston, Baldwin, and McCluster?
Heck, McCluster would probably look like a legit second round pick if we had McDaniels calling the plays instead of Staley Haley.
Heck, look at what he was able to do with Brandon freaking LLoyd and Eddie Royal.
So, to sum it up, yes, I think that Haley is the biggest problem on this offense.
That isn't completely true. I think that Haley doesn't have enough time to be HC and OC and I don't think he can work with a good offensive coordinator.
