Maybe by running the least effective passing scheme in K1s career.

Or when he calls 2&19 draw plays or 3&21 trick plays.

Quantify "least effective"?

Kyler was 12th in EPA per pass after being 27th last year, 28th the year before, I can't find older data.

I think Kyler misses a lot of opportunities with poor recognition and poor throws, but this scheme makes what he does do efficient.

His two previous years were also worse for yards per game. And while his YPA sucks vs the rest of the league it was actually his joint 2nd highest of his career.

Until Kyler proves he can exploit the intermediate middle of the field he will remain a little above ordinary.

We all believe we need edge and DT. However, this offense underperformed. This regime might be thinking we need to solidify the biggest, baddest o-line possible.

Here’s the polarizing thing with Kyler. Most believe there probably isn’t a better option for us this year. So.
Some believe he is adequate.
Many believe he can be better.
Many believe he should be better.
Many believe he will never be better.

We can and should be able to do both. We have a ton of cap space and a draft deep with talent at two defensive areas of need. How about we throw money at the OL in FA and draft our needs, with maybe a Hargrave tossed into the FA mix? Or an edge?

Absolutely. There is no reason not to expect some bold moves. I don’t see us trading multiple high picks to make a trade.
However we could and should absolutely solidify this o-line. You probably know how I feel about removing any excuses for Kyler. It’s already been said, “See what Kyler did against the 49ers when he has time.”
We have our starting right guard and right tackle with significant injuries… and not by developing rookies.
That side needs to be fixed immediately.

How many QBs have been this Meh as a passer through 6 seasons and then been good? I can't think of one, but of there is it's not many.

There's nobody better than Hernandez available in FA this side of 32 apart from Trey Smith and Will Fries from the Colts, and I'll be surprised if Smith leaves the Chiefs.

I'm not even sure there's an upgrade on Evan Brown in FA, just different flavors of Evan Brown. Maybe Mekhi Becton? He was pretty good this year and is FA. Not sure Eagles can pay all their guys but I'm also wary of signing guys with one good year on an elite O line. Tevin Jenkins a similar one season "wonder", if wonder means much better than they were.

It's a pretty dire FA group, not just at guard.

By definition, these are the "throwing money at" type of player.
