Another is their OL...2017 starters = Wetzel, Boone, Shipley, Watford/Boehm, Veldheer. 2018 starters = Humphries, Iupati, Cole, Aboushi, Andre Smith. Every single OL starter was different from 2017 to 2018.
Coaching was different, I'll give you that. Cardinals rated as the 31st O line in 2017 and 32nd in 2018. In the end I still stand by my point Rosen had a historically bad season and I think he is Christian Ponder, we have seen more Christian Ponder type QB's as of late it seems than good ones. Not sure why it's such a far leap to think the guy could be a bust after 1. Again, everyone clings to Goff but that is the outlier in terms of horrific rookie years into capable starters, and even that many think may be mirage.
