I don’t see Petras as “the” problem but his weaknesses are part of the overall problem of our offense being horrible.
Our OL is problem number 1. His weaknesses, lack of mobility and poor pocket awareness, are amplified because we can’t protect the QB. We’re also not great at running the ball which puts more pressure on passing game.
If we had a mobile QB, that would help with some of those issues but I don’t think it would fix “the” issue. On top of our OL and some of Petras’s flaws, our WR/TE’s have been underwhelming . I see promise with Keagan/Bruce but I don’t think any of the other 3 would be starting at any top 25 team and collectively they’ve had too many drops.
The way I see it, our biggest problems are:
1) OL
2) Inexperienced/Unqualified offensive coordinator
3a) Petras mobility/pocket issues
3b) lack of playmakers
