One of the first rules of major college sports (and worse still at the professional level) is if you can't handle the media, news outlets, public opinion criticism then dont't watch TV and don't read papers or other electronic outlets.
The offense thus far has been lousy. Can't sugarcoat it or couch it in "we're making progress bit by bit". We're already a quarter of the way through the season.
So, for the players? If you're gonna be sensitive to criticism, recognize that you control the opportunity to invalidate this criticism. Play better, score more points, throw the ball more accurately, catch the ball more frequently, block more effectively. . . in a word . . . become playmakers.
Having said that, I think that there are more than a few potentially good players on the offense, including the QB. I haven't quit on them yet. But things need to change. The offensive game planning needs to be scraped and reassembled by someone who can demonstrate knowledge of the modern day college football offense. Heck, I'd be willing to bet that the UConn offense would be more potent, more dynamic, and more diverse if HCPP & Dele just let the players call the plays. Draw 'em up in the dirt if need be, but take it out of Dele's hands.
