I still can't get over Arizona's slow fall. After S4, they lost several high-end actives, still had two more years of winning records. After that they sold off a lot of talent, made some horrible trades...still won 5 games in S7 and S8. All of that drama and poor management did less damage than switching to a rookie QB, which took 3 seasons to recover from.
You see the same thing with SJS. In S8, they switched to Pennington and won 1 game. Then 2 the next year, then 4, clearly trending up, but then a switch to Christ (despite having two DSFL years) knocked them back down in S11.
OC has done the best with managing the QB change, but even they had their first non-winning season the first year they brought Showbiz over, and that was despite giving him an extra year in DSFL.
The only two teams to not get a worse record with a new QB are Colorado, where Applehort replaced Pierno (and both QBs going winless, but Applehort doing worse), and Philadelphia, where Falconi (after a season of prep) replaced Logan Noble.
