The only point I have to make is that the superbowl was won by a team with a much simpler offense.
First off - for anyone to want the Patriots to make sweeping philosophical changes b/c of the outcome of the Super Bowl, that's asinine.
A) They got there.
B) Had one of two fumbles bounced towards a Patriot defender, they win that game.
So let's keep that caveat in mind.
However, the larger point - the team with the simpler offense may have won the Super Bowl, but that wasn't the reason. The team without Bill Belichick coaching it also won, are you suggesting that we fire Bill Belichick and hire Tom Coughlin? Please re-learn causation and correlation...
The thing we can take from the last several Super Bowls is that the team with more offensive weapons has won. If you want to add in there team's with greater pass rush, sure.
But let's look at Saints, Packers, Giants. They just had more weapons than their opposition could handle - and more weapons than their opposition could counter with on their own offense.
If Gronk's healthy, then we have more weaponry. He wasn't, so it goes to the team with one more guy than we could defend. In this case, it was Manningham down the sideline with a dagger to our hearts.
Brandon Lloyd, presumably, puts us over the top.
And I have to remind you - the reason Gronk, Welker & Hernandez were so damn productive in this offense has a lot to do with their mastery, and their quarterback's mastery, of this offense.
I mean, come on. Should we look at other things in society that are difficult to learn but are extremely efficient and productive and try to dumb those down to to make finding people to learn it easier? Gimme a break.
You have a football PhD at QB for this team. Find him students that can learn from him and produce. It's been working. Don't mess with it.
