Carr has said the same thing 3 year's straight.
take out Wade insert Flanagan.
take out Bruener insert Putzier. ( reverse on ends, something was wrong with Miller. Carr likes his blocking. )
take out one read quick pass system insert West Coast 4-5 hot system.
first system was too complicated, second system was too simple, third system was too short. Now the 4th system is back to some type of West Coast branch.
Now I haven't seen a whole lot of what Palmer was all about on paper, but supposedly his magic angle was using deep choice routes that required coordination between the WRs and the QB ( the WR makes the choice and the QB needs to understand what the WR is going to do ).
This failed because the line was injured and the WRs were too dumb. They couldn't keep themselves on the same page. ( amongst several other factors I imagine )
The new new new new system looks to be putting all of it back into the QB's hands. Meaning limited choice routes and back to the QB having to know where the open WR is without waiting on a key or a move by the WRer.
Cannot really say much about it yet, because all the staff has said is that they are going to do what they were doing in Denver in Houston. That doesn't mean anything... which brings me to the point of the reply.
Whatever Carr says, it doesn't mean a whole lot or inspire any confidence on its own. When you say this is looking better, we got a better system, we got some veterans, it's going to be a good year for 3 years straight and each one implodes on itself... it might take a little punch out of the statements.
( and yes 7-9 is a failure... not as dismal as 2-14, 4-12, and 5-11, but crapped out seasons with a highlight of winning two back to back games. 22 midgets in Brazil couldn't limbo underneath that bar )
The same for do your job and play well and the wins will fall into place.
or
It's not a must win, it's a must play well
It would wager you could serve the man up two rotten bananas, some spoiled milk, and four leftover eggs from last Easter and he is going to say, "It's going to be a good meal this season. So long as I just hold my fork straight. Keep my elbows off the table. And chew with my mouth closed."
High on optimism, low in realism, more cloud, less dirt; it's called dreaming.
I think it's about time for Bradshaw to hang it up too.
