I will say Arizona for a few reasons.
4. Rivera is a better coach than Arians. I think it was the NBC crew (Dungy and Rodney Harrison) that brought this up, but they questioned Arizona's patience on offense. Everything with them has to be a homerun. They don't know how to take their time with methodical drives. As fun as it is to watch Palmer launch the ball 40-50 yards down field multiple times a game, it just doesn't work.
This is more a product of Palmer than BA, typically, most plays have several options at several depths - and that is what makes our offense click (not so much in the red zone). But Palmer seems determined to start taking shots when the underneath receivers are available.
It worked last year most of the time until the end, but this year, Palmer is off, isn't as accurate and making the same dumb decisions as he did at the end of the last year - throwing deep into double coverage with John Brown, for example. Kind of sad, I was hoping for a Superbowl win and then into the sunset with Palmer and Fitz.
Cardinals are definitely in worse shape than the Panthers and have about 22 UFA after the season.
