In regards to Arians giving Palmer a good game plan...I agree with you.
Look, it goes w/out saying that every player is better with good coaching...not just Andy! I'm not defending ML.
I think our main disagreement is you seem to think a QB should not be judged unless all the pieces are in place for him. Like a good HC, OL, RB's, WR's and a good defense. That's bull manure!
Take a look at the bottom ranked QB's for this season. Which of them have all of the pieces in place? None of them! And IMO it's the main reason for their low ranking. But they still get judged /critiqued by fans and the media don't they?
Your boy Andy is headed towards the bottom in ranking, but it's his HC's fault? Ok, but could you please up date his current passer rating and wins and loses? As you know, it's at the bottom of all of your post.
What did McCarron show in those games? He never lead the team to more than 24 points in a game and the team had 8 (out of 12) games that season scoring over 30 points. Under McCarron the offense averaged 300 total yards a game, and that would be one of the worst total yard average in the league if averaged over the whole year. McCarron beat the horrible Ravens who had a backup QB off of the street and the 49ers who had a backup in also. Lol it's so funny people think McCarron showed anything while he was in. All he showed is that he's a backup quality QB that can squeak out a win against the worst teams in the NFL with the rest of the team playing like a Superbowl caliber team.
