Can we at least be interesting?

[Syracusecards]

Obviously I don’t want us to suck, but if we are going to suck, can we at least be interesting? I am dreading the debates on this board this coming season.

Poll - should we give Uncle Rico a chance over Jacoby? What about Slovis?

Poll - where would you rank our QB room in Cardinals history?

Thread - Is Larry’s HOF Enshrinement the last good thing that will ever happen to this franchise?

Thread - Is (fill in the blank) really a better option than ADG at LB?

Shoot me now…

oh we are the definition of "interesting"

I keep waiting to see a line scroll across ESPN saying “The Arizona Cardinals have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy”

1989: Gary Hogeboom (13 starts), Tom Tupa (2 starts), Timm Rosenbach (1 start)
2010: Derek Anderson (9 starts), John Skelton (4 starts), Max Hall (3 starts)

I think the above is definitely worse. But Lomax hadn't retired yet, and we had Rosenbach.
Any year with Dwreck, Max Hall, and Ron Jaworski's preseason hype of Skelton has to be up there.


2012: John Skelton (6 starts), Kevin Kolb (5 starts), Ryan Lindley (4 starts), Brian Hoyer (1 start)
2011: Kevin Kolb (9 starts), John Skelton (7 starts)

Koncussion Kolb gave hope to some, but I didn't like the ~6 yr 60 mill we gave him before he played for us and he had already been knocked out of a few games.

We're probably a notch above these four years. As of now, there's no young guy to even hope about.

We're drafting a QB, but will monti reach for a guy or be content to pick a 5th rounder?

 

[TJ]

If I’m MHJ, Michael Wilson and Trey McBride, I’m demanding a trade tomorrow.

 

[Cheesebeef]

This will be the least interesting team in the league.

It’s like Monti goes out of his way to build the lowest ceiling, yet also lowest floor team possible. Pretty impressive when you think about it.

I absolutely LOVE that you took one of my worst case scenarios upcoming debates on this forum and ran with it. Just outstanding. I look (forward?) to the real debate come regular season. You gave a lot of great examples that I can’t argue with though.

They’ll be interesting anchoring my three-team moneyline parlays

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

This team will be completely awful

 

[Syracusecards]

Here’s something interesting. Josh McCown was offered a job as the passing game coordinator for the Giants and was blocked by the Vikings because they think that highly of him. can you imagine if Josh coaches up Kyler to be a playoff contending quarterback?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

No. Not interesting. Not even a skosh.

More interesting than this: my brother-in-law worked with a guy who had a cousin that knew someone who dated Angelina Jolie LOL
Let's all take a deep breath

Couldn't disagree more. When and if healthy our Offense will be near the top of the League. I'm assuming we acquire a RT in the first or second round. Defense is still a ? but we will be interesting. A threat to score 30+ every game.

 

[TigToad]

I would settle for some boring solid o linemen

I must have missed a change at our QB position. Who did we trade for?

This is the Cardinals. It’s highly likely Kyler will have a big next year because that’s what happens to this franchise.

 

[SECTION 11]

No.

 

[Phrazbit]

This is the Skud Anderson/Skelton/Max Hall era.

If only we were coming off a Kurt Warner to dull the pain.

 

[Denny Green Fan]

Nope….wont stay healthy and even if he did he can’t see over the line or read a defense….scared to stand in the pocket…Kyler sucks….never liked the pick and never understood why u would take a qb that short especially number one in the draft…I wanted to get rid of him 4 years ago

FTFY

Basing my opinion on how Jacoby played last year w/o the benefit of a running game. We'll at least go into this season with a strong ground game, and our WR/TE group is excellent. Winning is a different story as we are in the toughest division. And, I realize that the combo of Jacoby and Gardner are a bridge to 27. But we should be a high scoring/interesting team.

It's all going to depend on how strong our D is and how well Monti fixes the OL. After not liking the OG signing, I'll give Monti the benefit of the doubt with it. We still need a right side of the OL. We do not need any of our dregs starting at RG. As for our D? Monti is rolling with the backups from our bad team a few years back to "fix" the DL, and we still need a solid edge and secondary help. Oh yes, and an ILBer. If he can manage to fix most of that, we'll have a chance on offense.

So, in other words, we're fudged.

We were 23rd in scoring last season and Brissett was 1-11 as a starter

I'm trying to be out but have to watch the train wreck

I don't get how you don't like the Seumalo signing. It's objectively a good signing, very good pass protector by every metric.

I think you could get by with a guy already on the roster if you bring in a credible RT.
