[Green Monk Machine]

We have discussed, debated, and argued over Dobert this year.
With all the perspectives involved, what is really the best for the team, fans, and future?
To me, it's embracing the nfl. Either accept it for what it is, or suffer and be left out 4 weeks into and 4 weeks before the regular season ends.

The way the conversation has continued, it seems many of you have accepted read option and want to see more of that. The endless problems I see with the read option begin with mind numbing blatant issues. Alfred is the RB and a very capable one at that. Historically what team has get won a Super Bowl with what Kyle is trying to establish? Often times Robert or WR's are getting carries- this is risk outweighing reward. We don't have 4 Roberts on the bench in case one breaks and opposing defenses are celebrating when we eat clock up, expose our QB to hits every play and take little nibbles of yardage. The real teams that are able to succeed have a passing attack. Ours is predicated on play action. It's predictable. We've seen 90% of passes be play action, not including when it is 2mins left in 4thqtr and trailing by 18, which seems to be the only times when no play action is used.
The rules of the game are geared to protect the QB. We have chosen to forfeit that proceed w/o caution. WR's have nearly all advantage against defenses and get flags in their favor now more than ever. We don't take any advantage of that and chose to keep them running short routes or lining up in the backfield.

Look at how horribly the team has become on offense. Sure they have their moments- we have potential. Kyle's approach and philosophy is....too many words to convey.

Supporters of Read Option...will say, yeah in 2012 we won the division. But opposition will say, yeah and the teams mgt helped get him hurt and have been blinded by read option so much and gotten away from real football, that w/o Robert at full health, they have no clue how to win a game.

What are we building? A team that can only win if our QB is 100% healthy and playing like a madden player? No man is ahead of his teammates.

I think of supporters of the read option and how other teams in the nfl run it with success. Well they had coaches who are careful and it works for them. They also use it drastically less and sparingly. It's great to have your QB tuck and run when it's open, it's effective to have the QB keep defenses aware he can run here and there. The Kyle approach is f'kn dangerous. 1 concussion, 1 major surgery, 1 blown home playoff game, and 1 2013 season ruined from a commitment to the read option.

We could have lost or won with Kirk. The team chose to proceed with Robert and not to give him experience in the pocket but running the same detrimental offense.

It is not all that impressive to see garçon approach 100, I expect that from him. That is what we paid him for. With all the busts at WR, we need him. But sadly we've seen how he can do more. And if we had a better system, we could have another 100 receiver.

The nfl is passing. The defense is handcuffed to play the passing game. The ass backward redskin approach goes against the grain and continues to be a laughing to the world to not get on board.

Lets stop the nonsense and adopt a pocket passer system. The discussion that 2013 was b/c Robert was hurt really needs to end b/c we had Kirk and even now that rob looks healthy, we play like 2012 can happen again but overlook the concussion and surgery b/c it's been accepted that the division ttle is equivalent to the Super Bowl.

That's thinking small and short range ie Read Option.
