at a loss

I am at a complete loss... Hats off to the D for a fine year, especially given the base offense, but let's focus on offense:

the problem:

QBs who cannot pass (none, except Wade perhaps, has shown any ability to pass. Without Olline protection that is. Btu today when smith had time, his passes were way off
WRs who cannot catch - I saw at least 3 drops, when finally, a ball was catchable...
Oline who cannot block - at times, it was better today against the 119th defense but in general horrible. Even Montiero look stunned out there today and he seems the best of the frosh... i have never seen a Oline at BC so weak and constantly overpowered during this year.
RBs who can at times run.
Playcalling - seems horrible but what can you do when you cannot pass. In the first half, it seems every 1st down was up the middle for minus one yard
Penalties - holding on several good plays, and easily avoidable illegal procedures in the 12th game of the year.

why?

bad talent, recruiting, inept game management - or all the above
inexperience
our best on offense were injured....

I am at a loss because Daz did very well with the talent he had in his first two years - adapting what the offense was doing to the talent there. ( and let's think about it. the talent was there: AW, Murphy and several Oline in the NFL or in training camps...)

Is this a perfect storm of injuries, inexperience and untimely recruiting as per Daz? When we try to do something different, like pass, we have turnovers... I think the offense is repetitive and predictable, but what talent do we have to do something different? ( we can't pass and we cannot run block). Is Daz that bad a coach of players, an inept judge of talent among his players and a misguided manager of talent for his assistants on offense?

I cannot just say - Fire Daz because his first two seasons were above expectations. But this year was worst than what we imagined..
