The only offense he can really run effectively is ours. They are now having to completely change everything about what they do. If he continues to struggle, Freeze will pull the plug and go to Deuce Knight.
Part of that is on Arnold and his camp too. QB is one position where the offense has to fit the QB's skill set. Like- you wouldn't ask Dan Marino to run the wishbone. But he would probably be pretty badass in the Air Raid. As Clint Eastwood said- a man has to know his limitations. Same with any QB.

It goes to show you how teams get so fixated on stars sometimes that they end up screwing themselves and the player over.
