I also wonder if he's getting the right coaching.
The more i read about Todd Haley the more i wonder about our coaching staff/OC/WRs coach.
I know I constantly mention this, but i beleive we need more young innovative minds in key position in the offensive coaching staff.
Who on our coaching staff helps Zorn design plays and make adjustments if he is the only one with an expansive knowledge of the WCO?
Zorn was Holmgren's QB coach and Redzone gameplanner, Holmgren also had Gil Haskell as OC and Keith Gilbertson as an offensive consultant.
Who does Zorn have to lean on?
Look at the Cards, Ken Wisenhunt was a proven OC yet he relied on Todd Haley to the point that he handed the playcalling duties over to him.
Who on this staff is Jim Zorn's Todd Haley?
Does Devin have some like him to push him like this:

Larry Fitzgerald was the Cards’ big star, scoring three first-half touchdowns. “On the awards podium after the victory, Fitzgerald sought out offensive coordinator Todd Haley,” Republic columnist Paola Boivin writes.
“‘Thank you,’ he said, ‘for keeping your foot on my throat for two years.’ The comment hit Haley in the gut. ‘It’s why you coach, to see players succeed after they trust you and believe in you,’ he said. With three Pro Bowl selections to his credit, it’s
clear Fitzgerald has talent. The staff thought he could give more. Fitzgerald thought he could give more.”

Are innovative plays being designed to take advantage of Devin's physical gifts?
Cardinals take Todd Haley's play from pie in the sky to reality - Los Angeles Times
Behind every playmaker, of course, is a maker of the play.
...On this flight, of course, he was studying footage of the Panthers against NFC South opponents. He was looking for tendencies by Carolina's defense, any pre-snap cues that might tip off what the Panthers liked to do, any weaknesses in their coverage scheme............................................ .................So, naturally, Haley went on the offensive. He tore out a sheet of notebook paper, clicked open his pen and started to sketch a play. It called for quarterback Kurt Warner to freeze the defense with a fake pitch, roll right, then look for star receiver Larry Fitzgerald streaking the left middle of the field........................
The 41-yard gain -- Arizona's longest play of the game -- gave the Cardinals a first down at the 10. They scored a touchdown three plays later for the first of a jaw-dropping 33 consecutive points.
