Not at all saying this is THE only reason we are struggling this year from an offensive standpoint, but it is a driving factor in why we are struggling. BP is working his darndest to prove Lamar is a pocket passer. Lamar has improved drastically but the reliance on him "proving himself" in the pocket is at the stake of losing games.

A key stat I came across:
From 2003-2006: UL RBs Averaged 415 carries per year
On pace for fewer than 200 this year.

As the numbers suggest, we all know we aren't using the RBs, which is driving me absolutely crazy but I think proving Lamar in the pocket could be a key driver in that.

In order to be a pocket passer there has to be a pocket.

That goes to my point. Lamar has a small pocket to operate in typically, if a pocket at all. The play calling forces us to need a pocket which we have trouble creating.
