Last year we couldn't move the ball when we had to.. at all. Time to get back to basics, yes that means more sacks/INTs with a young QB, but it should lead to confidence building for all of the youth on O when they start to put together scoring drives.
I think Brady last year was so determined to keep doing it his way, that the young guys just couldn't get with the programme. He forgets he had 20 years to reach his Jedi level of playbook mastery. These kids were probably busting it to get on the same page for all we know.
It's an age/experience gap thing in some ways. When he was the young QB his receivers were experienced and would have given him some slack. When he was in his prime, he had a nice mix of veteran and youth. Towards the end I think his patience ran out (berating WRs all the time) and he just didn't want to go through growing pains anymore, which I can also understand.
This year they will all be starting at the beginning. The playbook will be simplified to allow the youth to grasp it with competence and the result should be that we can actually move the football. If there's something we suck at one year, BB usually fixes it the following year.
