However, I think if your A.D., you've got to call your game. He's been in this thing long enough to take the reigns. Andy did play like crap. The OL shit on his capabilities and his timing, he looked as he was playing in fear. He has the ability to control that at the line. Although, he may not be able to, or used to, audibling out? He's still the captain and should have done what he thought he should do to win. I still have faith in him because he is a good QB. He would be better without Marvin. When he is on? He's clutch. When he's not? OMFG!
I have a tendency of saying something like that before I disagree with anyone I like. A lot of folks on here take it personally or get their ego bruised when you disagree with them.
Anyways, Harley you're my dude, but I'm going to have to disagree (again).
We have no idea how much control Andy really has over the offense. It's all speculation. I remember a lot of talk about Palmer having little control over the offense when he was here, but it was always hard telling.
IMO, both Palmer and Dalton have had some options as far as audibles and so forth, but even with the audible, I don't think he can just freely switch any play he wants. Just going on gut feeling based on things we've seen/heard here and there. Hard to prove either way though.
And how much could he really do at the line to stop Og or Jake from getting pancaked?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
