Agree. One does not win 11 games without having adequate talent, at least enough not to get your doors blown off in the playoffs. I do not buy this whole, 'they figured us out' mantra when if that is the case, well we were basically running the same damn offense as last year to start our year when we were winning and it was not 'figured out' then. The problem is that Kliff is hell bent on running his spread crap and shotgun snaps like some addict who cannot help himself and eventually goes back to that when he thinks he has won enough to give the insanity a go again. Vance Joseph does well enough to win but then reverts to his addiction of putting LBs and DEs in coverage with soft zones. A QB does not spend weeks in MVP talk and then all of sudden is considered trash, this is on the coach not handling a young QB right due to his lunacy of spreading out his WRs and subpar OL to then pass protect, by not letting his QB know there and then to stop his stupidity which he can ... you have backs to run the ball but you do not and his hodge podge play calling of late just seems like obscure plays with no consideration of down or distance

I don't understand how anyone can place the blame solely on the coaching without including KM as a sizable chunk of the problem. Three years in and he still doesn't climb the pocket especially when its there for him to do so. How do you coach scared out of a player (KM sitting down to take the sack early in the game)? How do you convince a player that playing QB sometimes requires you to take a hit when he tries to avoid a hit at all cost (Stafford taking the hit from Vallejo in the second half. Vallejo hits him in the chest with his helmet and Stafford gets up hurting from that hit, could you ever envision KM doing that)?

Someone needs to tell KM that these are part of the job description of a NFL QB and if he doesn't think he can do it, then maybe it's time to find another job. Brady took several hard shots on Sunday and he's 44 years old.

KM needs to play under center. From there he can learn to climb the pocket. Kliff needs to push that hard or find someone that can.

At this point you can’t even extend Murray. Looking at a 5th year option
