This was the season that made Carson Palmer walk away. Half of the time, they couldn't covert a 3rd and 1, but people want to believe that Dalton walked into a stacked 4-12 team for some reason.

Williams was in his 10th a shell of himself.. he played 1/2 the games, pretty much out of football in a year.  Andre Smith had barely played.. so we had no idea what we would get out of him... by 2012 we had replaced Livings and Williams, Cooks played two more seasons... 

They were not very good coming into the season besides Whit... I agree Smith did start to perform.. but we had no clue how he was going to play.. Only Whit at that time would be considered a big upgrade to what we have now .. eventually Smith will start to play and not be hurt but really outside of Whit.. they were just a serviceable line at best

Um... I'm clearly talking about 2011; Boling wasn't a rookie in 2010, nor was Bobbie hurt/suspended and they did NOT have the worst YPC.
