It's like they got so caught up in the fact that MJD is our best player and tried to run an offense that goes through him. This team needs to be running an offense similar to what we saw in 2007, with a bit more passing and more downfield throws. But that's what we need._________________

Their conservative approach in the passing game had nothing to do with MJD or thinking the offense "had to go through him". It had everything to do with the coaches wanting to ease Gabbert into being a starting QB. Roethlisberger wasn't throwing tons of passes early in his career, but by his 3rd or 4th year he was comfortable and able to eventually put the offense on his back. Mark Sanchez, not so much.
