I remember watching Stroud last year and I wasn't too particular impressed by the offense. So, the film tape really caught up to both Stroud and Slowik
Agreed. I didn't really see anything special out of that offense. Nico Collins is a stud WR, but he's a grinder who developed into what he is now. I pay attention to WRs who were recruited and played under Jim Harbaugh. Tank Dell and Stroud were lightning in a bottle last year with Collins ascent to a WR1. This year, adding Diggs (always a mistake) , Collins injury, Stroud's regression and the late season Dell injury exposed Slowik.
I hope we decide on MM soon and give him the opportunity to decide whether or not he wants to keep KK. I'm not sure what Slowik would have to offer as a potential replacement as I don't think he has a "system".
