The offense has just been hit or miss (mostly miss) all year. Everyone has been waiting for Lombardi to unleash this high-octane, high-scoring, melt your mother's face of an offense. It just hasn't happened.Stafford's turnovers are down, and his footwork is better, but that's about it.His yards and touchdowns are down, and his sacks are higher. Lombardi calls plays that take too long to develop. Last year, Stafford had one of the quickest releases in football. This year he has been holding it for 3+ seconds pretty regularly.Part of the problem is Stafford. His decision making still isn't that great, and his accuracy is still lacking. Kellen Moore is better at both of those things. Frankly, I'd rather have a smart, accurate quarterback with a weak arm than one who can launch it 75 yards in the air, but is slow with his reads and flings it 4 feet over/behind/in front of his receivers.</blockquote>
