There has been a lot of gnashing of teeth over the offensive performance through 3 weeks, and for the most part, I’ve been in that same boat.
For some reason, I keep comparing this team to 2016. I think it mostly has to do with the fact that we have a new starting quarterback, whereas 2017 most everyone was established on the team, and 2018 was the twilight of said quarterback’s career. 2019, like 2016, feels like a fresh start to me.
Now, there are some obvious dissimilarities between the two teams. For one, Ricky Rahne is in his second year as offensive coordinator, while Joe Moorhead was just starting in 2016.
