The offense has regressed to basically what it was when they had Smith. Colin was supposed to be a game changer but he hasn't taken that next step and the coaching staff has to treat him like a liability.
Not really true.
The offense has regressed as a whole, not just Kaep. We have literally nothing on the outside and VD was out for the 3/4 of this game. Manningham needs to get back up to speed to make a difference.
Either way, Kaep is still growing and will continue to progress. Especially when he get's Crabtree back and the offense is finally healthy.
