| "I did this with Carson Palmer last year," Arians said. "He had been in the same system pretty much nine years and he has ideas, then you are trying to re-program. It is much easier getting a rookie and brainwashing him than it is to take a veteran and change him totally into a new system. "I try to never judge a quarterback in a new offense until Week 8." |
"Instead of waiting to see a guy come open, he was throwing guys open. When you are waiting to see a guy come open, you are going to throw interceptions because your eyes are there too soon and too long. When you can throw the ball on time, trust the receiver is going to be there, everything happens a second or a second-and-a-half faster, and that is a lot of time when you are talking about the passing game."

Eli did have that one great throw to Donell for a first down where he threaded it between the LB and Safety. That was a case of him "throwing Donnell open."
We don't have any guys on our roster with anywhere near the playmaking ability of those 3 guys.
And say all you want, but from a pure arm talent perspective Stafford is more talented than Eli
They couldn't run the ball one bit, and 14 of their ~30 points came off broken coverages.
I was hoping we had moved on from the constant 3rd down conversions/big/broken plays on defense.
After one game, you can't judge a team...but you can see trends....
This offense is not going to get it overnite.....the question is, how long it will take, and will it be too late?
Small steps....
