And there is zero debate to be had here. The basic core of the offense that is in Green Bay is the same that had success under Mike Shanahan, Gary Kubiak, Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, etc. The system that McCarthy coaches can't come close to competing with that legacy.That doesn't guarantee that LaFleur will have great success, but the offensive pedigree that he comes out of is superior beyond any doubt. And like I said, and you ignored, it's been typical for this offense elsewhere to take a year to get going, especially when it's replacing something fundamentally different. See the 2015 vs. 2016 Falcons for a case study.McCarthy may be a great teacher and a great leader. He may bring a lot of intangibles to the job that really matter. Not being a player or coach under him, I wouldn't really know. But he doesn't bring a lot from a schematic perspective, and the talented offensive roster that Ted Thompson provided him was absolutely the biggest reason he succeeded. So before we throw the "ignorant" word around, maybe get yourself some background on these offenses so you know what you're talking about.</blockquote>
