Anywho, Arians has a vertical passing offense that is #1 in the NFL now that his starting QB is healthy, Ben is throwing for 350+ per game, and the notion that Arians retired is hard to swallow. Why the Steelers can't admit they fired Arians and LeBeau is beyod me.
I don't think they tried to hide it. It just sounded nicer to say they retired.
Palmer's been great this year, but Ben has a higher YPG (leads league actually), little bit better completion percentage, and highest yards per attempt in the league - Palmer is #2 trailing by .04 so that's a wash. I haven't seen much of the Cardinals offense, but the Steelers offense has been all about throwing at the best mis-matches. Until the past two games, the offense has been about sustaining drives, not quick scores on deep patterns.
