Before this year, a lot of Rams fans believed Arians was the very model of a top coach.

One down year out of 4 taints absolutely nothing except obviously on a message board.

Palmer has let that team down this year and the end of last with some terribly untimely mistakes.

Any franchise would be happy with 34-16 over a three year period.

I would take him in a heartbeat.

Palmer is old and they lost a top lt and guard to ir....only on a message board will you find posters blaming the coach

Yeah, thanks, we knew that about Palmer. That was part of my whole point.

No one "blamed the coach." That's in your head. I said Arians does not do as well without Palmer or with Palmer playing poorly.

Then what I SAID was, Arians's fans have been less vocal since that started happening.

I then asked if saying Palmer isn't playing well is an excuse for Arians. The point of THAT was to question the whole "excuses" language.

Of course coaches do better when they have a good qb playing well. A point I ALWAYS make. Though whether or not it gets agreed with, usually depends on how the poster feels about the coach in question...which is a basic inconsistency in these discussions.

So here, another post to misread!
