A quick observation of quarterback Drew Stanton and how he played in the Arizona Cardinals' 19-3 loss in Week 12:

Quarterbacks don’t want to telegraph their plays, and Stanton improved on that in his second start since being named the permanent starter. But he’s also playing favorites -- not with targets but with sides of the field.

Stanton threw for 149 yards on 14-of-26 passing against Seattle, but 90 of those yards were thrown outside the left hash mark, according to ESPN Stats & Information, compared to 25 in between the hashes and 34 yards to the right side. His favorite targets on the left side were rookie John Brown, who caught three passes for 61 yards, and running back Andre Ellington, who had three catches for 24 yards.

And when Stanton took off on foot, he also favored the left side. Of his 23 rushing yards -- the second most for Arizona on the day -- 18 of them were outside the left hash mark.

The more Stanton puts his tendencies on tape, the more easily defenses will be able to prepare for him.
