That was actually pretty good.

Tony Gonzalez sounds like a complete knucklehead though. Added absolutely nothing at all.
We could use him at TE

that was good to read.
As fans we always think change is better

Get rid of Killdrive and all our problems are solved. NFL rarely works that way. Continuity is rewarded. In Buffalo, Bills fans were ecstatic when Greg Williams replaced Wade Phillips as head coach. 14 years later they're still on a coaching carrousel and haven't sniffed the playoffs. Maybe we gave Eli a mountain too high to climb at this point in his career.
Gannon had the best

It is not just change in systems, it is also a dramatic change in personnel. In the first two preseason games he was working with 4 new lineman, 2 new backs, a new TE and no Hakeem(while also missing Hakeems replacement in Beckham). The only constant for him has been Cruz, Randle and Pugh. However, the system itself is also new for the entire cast of players, which is also a factor.

They still should look better than they have, but there are a lot of moving parts to this transition.

You hit the nail on the head: it is a system change along with a complete personnel overhaul that is affecting rhythm. I honestly believe we'll see a much improved attack this week.
