He does, but people often attack Kliff for things Kyler does horribly.
I mean....the Cardinals just routed the rival Niners without Kyler and you saw a lot of outstanding coaching from Kliff.
Dont feel like quoting all your posts, but so far you've been right and wrong in the very same thread imo. Now something you've agreed on in the past is that Kirk is the slot has been very beneficial to the offense. Still Kyler has made a nice leap in terms of throwing tight window passes as well over middle. However, thats not the real jump imo. Its more or so Kyler extending plays and throwing on the run. I was the one who pointed how bad he was throwing on the run last year and thats where he needed to improve.

Part of the reason he's been so much this year is he's also finding throwing windows better on the run.
There is an irony about Kliff having to deal with Kyler's limitations on intermediate passes (10-19 yards) when we won a game with this from Colt McCoy.

Maybe its me, but I dont think Kliff wins this one last year. He had to greatly improve as well in order to do so.
There's also a belief that Shanahan had another disaster coaching game against us well. So a perfect storm of Kliff being great and Kyle being really bad that day.
The problem people had last year was once Kyler became limited the adjustment should have been to go more under center, run the ball and help create those easier throwing lanes. I know people wanted him to actually work on throwing on the run dating back to his rookie year. Some of that should have absolutely taken place during games good or bad. Just didnt seem like something we were actively working on. And looking at Goff (have you seen him in Detroit?) I think part of the frustration was that we saw LESSER QBS have things made to set them up to be successful when they were having a rough go.
Still with that said I think the major factor for both is we got much better on the Oline and WR core. Therefore Kyler is more confident and Kliff is more confident.
I have no idea. I mean he had only coached at the nfl level for a year prior to last. Again I think it most likely a combination of the two.
He basically spent his 1st year learning what works and doesnt work in the NFL. I find it hard to believe he had all the answers by year 2.
Edit: Just want to say that the ouside the pocket stuff from last year seemed most only broken plays where he was awful at throwing the ball. However, once I find the #s I actually believe he's been rather good as far under center stuff. Could be wrong but I thought I saw we've been successful the few times Kyler does it.
