The guy had an improbably bad game and was 0% at doing his job that day. What is the success rate on 32 and 28 yard FGs? Yea, Carson blew but Graham was a fitting guy to get called out that game, I think.
It was fair to call him out, but really he was the only one who got called out. One guy got fired and none of the other disappointing players were even talked about.
Sure looks like Graham was a scapegoat to me. With a halfway decent passing game, maybe those 6 missed points wouldn't have hurt so much. Benson carried the offense by himself.
In the end, Palmer never got much grief for that (very Dalton-like) playoff game. It all went to the ginger.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
