Eisen's Mailbag: Learning New Offensive Systems

Whenever I hear players talking about “learning a new system,” I always hear them downplay it as the same system everyone uses just with different terminology. However, I also hear analysts and even coaches say how difficult it is for a player to adjust to a new coordinator or coach’s system – and how great it is to get a player already familiar with the system.
So which is it? How different and hard to learn are all of these systems?

Dear Patrick:
I think it depends on the player more than the system or the coaches.
