What is an acceptable 2026 season?

[schutd]

The more losses the better

high draft picks and hopes and prayers for a reasonable SOS will not save this moribund franchise.

Good football will. Someone HAS to figure out how to win.

Competitive and improvement

 

[602 Native]

8-9 wins would show we are moving in the right direction

ML and staff will have to really instill a new culture and get the players to step up

This team was very unprepared in all games under JG

Add to that very little adjustments during games if any

This

It will be impossible to do this unless Beck shows he is a wonder kid.

We are starting a perennial loser in Brissett as QB1. Can't remember the last team to start a season with a dude like him at QB.

 

[602 Native]

I think wins are maybe not the best metric.

What on earth?

 

[602 Native]

The Cards will not be the worst team in the league though, our offensive talent is just to good for that.

I will go so far as to say our skill position players are elite. Best TE in the league, Wilson was like 2nd or 3rd best WR in the second half of last season, RB who should be top 10, Harrison already decent with tons of upside, Borne is a very solid #3, Higgens a good #2 TE, and Algier a good #2 RB.

3 wins last year with the same offensive unit and same defensive philosophy.

Also this elite skill position squad couldn't put points on the board and win last season.

They got a bunch of garbage time stats but couldn't move the ball when it mattered in the redzone and to actually close out and win games.

I hope im wrong but there is a reason we are underdogs in every game this season.

"Elite" funniest crap I've read here in a while.

Perennial loser QB's are our jam. You should see our last QB we had. Only one winning record in 7!

Don't look up his playoff stats tho.

 

[602 Native]

I agree with this, we have some top players on the roster, were better than some of the ***** out there, we just get buggered by the fact that the NFC West is hardcore

The comedy continues.

Did people watch us play last year?

Most games were over by the start of the 2nd half. Teams were literally in prevent for most of the 2nd half when all our "elite" stats were compiled.

Don't look up all the QBs who have played for this franchise. Only one has a winning record ever.

You people really need to learn who this franchise is.

Brissett is horrible and I said it last year while all you guys were celebrating the offense "looking better".

Meanwhile we were getting blown out and couldn't move the ball when it mattered.

K1 is gone and the NFL saw we have zero watchability and rewarded us with the schedule we have today because of it.

But lets talk more about K1 and what he couldn't do.

Your hatred for JB is clear richochet from your unyielding fandom of K1. No one expects JB to be the savior or the QBotF. He's our best available starter now. He's gone next year, or won't be starting. This is a dead year.

You don't think we all know who and what this franchise is? Who the hell you think you're talking to?

Even I can't fathom the loserness of the Cardinals before my time. And I will forever curse my dad for moving to Flagstaff when I was a kid and taking me to training camp to watch them.

My man JB isn’t even worth hating he’s a nobody and nothing a zero in the NFL. He is absolutely nothing to hate or like it’s absurd that we are starting this guy at quarterback in the NFL and everyone knows it’s a joke.

no - brissett is solid back up - good enough to take kyler murray's job but not good enough to keep it

You know what solid backups do when they actually get a lot of playing time they go 1-11.

The Pats did it with literally every the same guy two years ago. The Jets started Justin Fields last year.

It happens when teams choose not to compete.

This is fake.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

What on earth?

For this season in terms of success.

We play in such a difficult division and are beginning a rebuild.

We could win five games but if we’re competitive in 14 or 15, if our young players get better as the season progresses, and if our coaching staff looks like they have a clue, then I would consider the season a success (despite being 5-12)

Does that make sense 602?

This is fake.

Whatever you say champ.

Is this a defense of why the Cardinals should be crap because other franchises are?

It’s a fact check on your proveably wrong statement. The Cards aren’t uniquely crap; they’re the small-market Jets.
