While CL's shortcoming are well documented, we still do have a lack playmakers at WR, and across the board on O and D for that matter. Obviously Gio fits this offense 100x better and can help us move the ball with the personnel we currently have.
True but he is throwing it to guys who are suddenly open. These are the same guys.

Another "almost" play
the kind that kill you if you lose a close one
even if the drive stalls there it changes field position
Now the D has to stop them again with Minny having great field position

CL being the starter for the first 6 games is further proof that not practicing with live tackling of QBs is a bad thing, especially for an offense where the QB has to run the ball. I'm sure part of the issue is the coaches couldn't fully gauge the difference a true dual threat QB could make.

CL was horrible. I hate to mince words but he was terrible fit for this offense. He couldnt throw and he couldnt run. It actually looked painful watching him try to run.
