'03-'07....we averaged 538 pass attempts for 3849 yards
'09...477 pass attempts for 3134 yards

We were a run first team, Fred. That Chad was able to account for 33.4% of our pass yards and 42.9% of our pass TDs and still make the Pro Bowl in a rush first offense should only be more of a testament to his skills.
Becoming a run-first team after the 2007 season with Carson Palmer at QB was asinine
I wish old press conferences from back then were still up on the main website because I distinctly remember Marvin saying he wanted to "blow it all up" and start from scratch. I was all for blowing up the defense but why one of the best offenses in the league? Marv tried to fix something that wasn't broke... Anyway, it sort of worked in 2009 with sweeping and winning the AFC North. But 5 or 6 of those wins could have easily been losses... And they were in 2010.
