The Arizona Cardinals coach said about his team, the biggest problem when he took over was overcoming the mind set of his players. He said that it was November and they were on their cell phones making plans for vacation in late January early February! There wasn't one player who was thinking abouit the Post Season. He said, that told him right there, that he would have to change their mind set and get them thinking about Post Season.

Dilfer believes Moore and Clausen can be successful in time, saying NFL quarterbacks need between 35 and 40 starts before they can be judged fairly.

Jesus that's a lot. Much better than the two this board gave Moore or the three it's given Clausen, but 35-40? I think you can tell before then. I'd say more like 19. Play a season, then start out the next on a short leash.

Funny they mention Clausen talking repeatedly about throwing the ball downfield. With his 4.9 yards an attempt and a total of only 4 of his 91 attempts going for more than 20 yardsm I wonder when he is going to take his own advice.

The reason he gets blitzed and people whine he gets no time to throw is because the defense doesn't respect his ability to throw downfield. They work hand in hand. If he actually did what he said he needs to do, it would take the pressure off him and give him more time to throw not less.

...because as we all know, Moore is a legend at throwing the deep ball.

In fairness, Moore is better at throwing the deep ball than Clausen.

Doesn't mean he's a better overall QB, but in that particular skill, Moore has the edge.

As far as the article, the part about how the games keep playing out the same way is telling (referenced in the "not smart enough" thread).

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
