Offensive Pace
I think we all know the NFL is heading the way of the quick-pace offense and super-mobile QB. It has been proven over the last few years most, if not all, NFL defenses struggle with this up-tempo pace. Even with our turtle QB Schaub, I was happy to see the pace of our offense pick up in the second half and it paid dividends with a win. Without a doubt the Chargers' D was gassed in the 4th QTR.
Question is, why does it take us being down by 20+ to get us into that pace or mindset? We all know Kubiak is a stubborn SOB (some would say brain dead at times), but if he's such an offensive genius, why does he not see that the up-tempo offense works? Does anyone really think Kubiak could handle or change his ways if we did happen to stumble upon a QB like Kaepernick or Wilson?
This isn't meant to bash Kubiak, but I just don't get why he refuses to pick up the pace on a regular basis. These players can run it so I don't think that's the issue.
