re: We need an entirely new offensive scheme

Scheme was the issue this year only insofar as we tried to run an offense that didn't match to our offensive players strengths. What were our strengths? Our pass catching tail backs and elite offensive line. Why did we not run more tail back screens? Why not run more 2 back sets that send both RBs out on passing routes? Why not put Swift in the slot more often and get Cook in the backfield if the slot isn't a natural fit?

A bigger issue than this was the lack of preparation and execution our offense showed each week (that actually got worse towards the end of the year). Fromm's mechanics regressed considerably, many times there were miscommunication on routes by the QB/WR, drops, and general lack of player development between the front and end of the year.
