I think this is the absolute key for everything, and although passing is improved versus last year, I'm not sure Costello is ready to shoulder the offensive load.  ... [stats]

Well -- probably? Upping efficiency seems like the more intuitive path forward. But it's conceivable you could get much more explosive (i.e. the same tradeoff the 2017 rushing offense made). That doesn't seem crazy given the strengths of the receiving corps. 

Ultimately there are a bunch of ways you can do it. We'll see which one works. It seems implausible to me that this much talent is unable to sustain at least a solid offense. I just hope the learning curve is more 2015 (in which the good offense really started in earnest in games 3-4) than 2014 (in which the good offense started at...the end of the year).
