***Occam’s Razor would say that if it is not that old we would be finding the protein remains in all the fossils ... but we do not.***

Occam’s Razor talks about protein? :-)

The current scientific paradigm would say that no soft tissue or red blood cells (or stretchy ligament that still snaps back into place like Mary Schweitzer found) would last anywhere near 65 million years and therefore would not be found in the specimen..... but it was and continues to be, so they have to come up with something.

It seems to me that the most logical explanation (and simplest....Occam’s Razor) is that it is not that old..... but evolutionists absolutely cannot go down that road, so what they do is try to come up with an explanation, any explanation, that supports their tautology.

Science establishment will not go down any road that might lead away from evolution. In the end, this hinders the advancement of science instead of helping it.

“It seems to me that the most logical explanation (and simplest....Occam’s Razor) is that it is not that old..... “

and we thus should be seeing the soft tissue in many fossilized bones.

But we are not so your OR analysis fails.

First, there is no "current scientific paradigm" which prevents some well protected organic material from lasting indefinitely.
Second, it's still not 100% certain just exactly what that material is -- 65 myo dino remains or something growing there more recently.

Schaef21: "It seems to me that the most logical explanation (and simplest....Occam’s Razor) is that it is not that old....."

Hardly, because we well know what "not that old" looks like.
Over the years dozens & dozens of frozen Mammoth carcasses have been found, along with other Pleistocene megafauna, dated by radiometric methods from 10,000 to 50,000 years old.
Some even have recoverable DNA, giving people (so far) wild ideas about "resurrecting" those beasts.

That's what "not that old" really looks like.
By stark contrast, these alleged "dino soft tissues" are greatly degraded, to the point where it's still not certain exactly what's there.

Further, unlike "not that old" mammoths, dinosaur fossils are all found in geological strata always dated to Cretacious times or before.

Bottom line: it's too soon to say for certain, but the scientific probability of that "dino soft tissue" being "not that old" is near zero. Indeed, if it did somehow turn out to be "not that old", then Occam's Razor says it would have to come from some other type critter, living in dino remains.
