The biggest issue with the offense is Morris. He does some things well, but his accuracy is fucking atrocious. Every completed deep pass is due to a circus catch. I think he has yet to hit a receiver in stride this season. That said, the run blocking has been average at best, and the RBs are definitely below average. Boner has got to go. Adams and Huff still have something to prove, but their units look like they might be getting better. QB is still an issue. Sure Morris is a freshman, but inaccurate QBs usually remain that way. I think he just doesn't have that much of an arm, and just puts everything he has into every throw.

besides the deep ball this is just wrong

Did Locker’s accuracy ever improve that much? It just seems like something you have or you don’t by now.

Eh. He’s fine. But the best example of what he’s talking about is the dig to Rome that he had to get down and scoop out of the dirt. If he hits him in stride he likely scores.

He has a lot of those. It adds up to a lot of yards left on the field. I still think he's better than Skinny, and I'm not one of the people who think we should start Sirmon, but Morris has real accuracy issues. They can probably be worked around to some extent, but that is too expect too much out of the coaching staff, which of course is the other half of the problem. I was maybe going a bit far in saying Morris is the single biggest issue, because the RBs and play-calling are probably on par with him. But the inaccuracy is bad, and not likely to get better. Unless it's simply an issue of mechanics, but without having looked to closely (so take with a grain of salt) I don't think that's it.
