Ok I'm going to explain this to you barnie style.

The QB is the most important position in football, maybe in all of sports. One man can literally change the entire personality of an offense.

When you have a QB that doesn't stay in the pocket, it makes blocking for him much more difficult.

When you have a QB that can't throw the ball effectively(50% completion), defenses can play the run first.

When you have a QB that can't throw short or intermediate passes, you drop safeties deep and wait for him to launch ill advised passes into double coverage.

The gig is up, everyone knows how to defend Mauk. You play the run with your linebackers and you drop your safeties deep.

The guy is a terrible fit for this scheme and always has been. He would be great in a zone read offense where they occasionally take shots down field. In a spread offense that requires quick read and accuracy, Mauk is awful.

If you cannot see the difference between Drew Lock in this offense, and Mauk in the offense, I cannot help you. It's clear as day to anyone who has watched this team so far.
