Luckily, you are not our GM.

What is much more likely is that:

1. DP will be replaced either mid-season or after the season.

2. The Cardinals will retain Murray and go all in on offense similar to what the did on defense this past offseason.
Gannon just said he has no issues with the play calling and never will. He knows what is being called.

I’m an optimist but this team isn’t beating Seattle. So at 2-2 does that change your view on playoffs? We all knew they had to stack wins in the first half, like 7-1 kinda stacking to have a chance.

That's what I mean by it's a must win, if we lose that we're in real trouble this early.

I don't think Seattle is as good as they looked today but we're going to have to throw the ball to beat them and their DL concerns me.

So bummed, lose the heart and soul of the team in Conner and lose the game because guys can't make simple plays catching the ball

No doubt- he wasn’t the biggest problem and to his credit he delivered that ball to MHJ and jones where they should have caught it.

That said he has zero clutch factor, constantly getting balls batted down, 90% of his passes are check downs and can never move the ball in a crucial moment. Without defensive heroics this team would be 0-3 if left up to Kyler. We need a QB that can step in and win games. Petzing/kyler need to go

See, the "can't move the ball in a crucial moment" comment doesn't make sense, at least in the context of this game.

A) Down by seven in the 4th, he led the team on TD drive, and on 3rd down, on the run, threw a beautiful TD pass to McBride to tie the game.

B) On 3rd down with 2 minutes left, he stood tall in the pocket and threw a perfect pass to Jones which would have won the game.

Murray actually made several clutch plays today GC88. Several.

Murray is not the problem with this offense.

We never beat Seattle at home.

But then Green Bay lost at Cleveland today and it is a short week. I am not betting on us but Seattle is beatable. Far from certain we are the team that will do it this week.
Seattle just donkey kicked N.O. We barely beat them and have looked like garbage through 3 games. Lost JC. What’s your prediction on the Seahawks game?

According to AI, the Cardinals record over the past 10 years against back up quarterbacks:

Over the last 10 seasons (2014-2023), the Arizona Cardinals' record against quarterbacks who did not start the season as the primary starter (including backups, third-stringers, and players making their first career start) is remarkably bad.

While the exact win-loss count can vary slightly based on the definition of a "backup" (e.g., a rookie making his debut vs. a seasoned veteran filling in), the consensus among reporters and analysts who cover the team is that the Cardinals are well below .500 in these games, likely winning fewer than 30% of them.

This trend has been so consistent that it has become a running joke and a major point of concern for Cardinals fans.

TBH, it should have been for MHJ. If you want him to be a top WR, you have to start demanding that he act like one. He can't just be "an option if open" type player.
Like hell it should have. If he can’t catch the WIDE-OPEN catches, why should one expect him to catch the contested ones?

Wilson is easily the best catcher on this team.

We obviously live in two different universes. What about all of the other horrible passes he made and the safety he should have had?

We scored 13 points today. After scoring 20 the last two weeks. If he’s not THE problem, he’s also not the solution.

That we lose. Probably in a fashion like this game. But if we win it won't be some epic upset.

Demercado doesn't drop, Harriosn doesn't drop that ends up a lot more than 13. But, it is what it is. Unless we trade for that horrible human Tyreke, this is our team.
