I don't know if you know this or not but a "Winston schemed offense" (based off of everything that is said to be a strength) would be one that looked like the offense that he ran with a prime Brees and it looked like we were actually going to open things up before he got hurt last season. And that's why I think this offensive mess that we are in is due to DA's "vision" for the offense. PC sat in the same room with CSP and knew where he wanted to go but here we are; predictable scheming leading to stale play calling.
I literally said in the post you’re quoting that it looked like Payton had the gloves on and was going to take them off, then Winston got hurt against Tampa.
No one is defending the Carmichael here. Whatever he knew or thought he knew about Payton’s plan hasn’t lead to many positive results. Either he doesn’t have the ability to implement Payton’s vision or he doesn’t want to, unless DA is the one telling him to keep it basic and stale. Which I suppose wouldn’t surprise me either.
My main point is that they aren’t changing their whole offensive philosophy at this point in the year, no matter who’s the QB.
