Well, actually, a lot of us have been pointing the finger at Olson. His play-calling and offensive game planning have been atrocious.
BUT, from some of the things that I've been reading, coming out of Ram camp, many of the "sideway's" passes that Bulger is throwing are his own doing, from audibles he called at the line. I find it hard to believe that Marc suddenly can't make a defensive read. Maybe the broken ribs have something to do with his inability, or unwillingness to throw downfield, as much as it is Olson's play calling? But if Bulger is a part of the problem, we need to make a change.
But how long before our offense snaps out of it? If we expect to see the offense we had at the end of the season last year, I'd have to say we'll regain that level of play when we have all the pieces in place to do so. That means, when Bulger is healthy, and/or Gus steps in. AND, Jackson returns 100%, Holt recovers 100%, Bruce is okay, and our line has all of it's starters. ...or at least 4 of the 5.
Reading between the lines, my answer to your question is; "not this year", because of all the injuries we've realized. There isn't a team in the league that could maintain any resemblance of their offense if they sustained the loss of three O-lineman and #1 backup, AND had their best WR playing at less than 100%, their RB out for ????, and a starting QB playing with broken ribs. I don't care what game plan Olson has, we're in a fist-fight with one hand tied behind our back.
