And Palmer's line absolutely sucked last night. Yet he found a way to put together a decent game. Best he's had in a long time. I wonder though, did the Arizona coaches make adjustments for the atrocious OL... or did Carson simply adjust to the pressure, not let it get to him, settle in and make the throws? 

One thing was for sure, Carson didn't panic and throw the ball the away the second there was pressure. Nor did he panic and sense pressure that wasn't there. He wasn't anything like Andy this past Sunday. But Carson looked HORRIBLE the first two games. Just as bad as Andy if not worse. So that gives me some hope that Andy will eventually relax, right... Right??  

I dunno man.....Dalton may be in real trouble here.  Palmer left and took some lumps in Oakland, and then got with some good coaching in AZ.  Palmer's trouble here, in my opinion, was he forced things when the pressure was on, while Dalton tries to make the safe plays.  I don't know if that is a coach in his ear, or if he has taken that on himself.  Only he knows that.  Carson was over-confident in his arm, Dalton is the polar opposite.  

2015, 14 was in the NFL MVP discussion behind a good line, and with a real OC.  At the start of 2016, he was still playing at that level, remember the Jets game?  Sacked 7 times and still threw for 366 yards, no turnovers, and a couple TDs if memory serves.  He steadily regressed from there.  Maybe Lazor can help him find his rhythm again, and help build his confidence back, maybe not.  As I noted above, give them till the bye week and see, and if not, you gotta go in another direction.
