Given the fact Carson went from being a 3rd string QB who was going to essentially redshirt to the starter within a matter of a week is one heck of a learning curve. Not only were his first year stats not too shabby for a rookie compared to other rookies (TD's to Picks)... you have to remember the entire team was learning a new system too. You have a West Coast offense with players from Chip Kellys offense. It's going to take some time to get the pieces in place for his system. They won 7 games last year and could match that with a rookie QB and players designed for a Chip Kelly offense.
They were running a new offense, true, but other teams got tape on them too. I'd assume that has contributed to them falling apart.
