Is our team ready (in a position) for Fitz to retire?

[SissyBoyFloyd]

are we content with his replacement, or don't we have his replacement yet? If we have groomed someone, who is it?

 

[Finito]

Hopkins is his replacement and there couldn’t be a better on on the field and off.

Fitz really has been a shell the last 3-4 years people really forget how dominate he was in his prime

Mods, please delete this thread, ban this poster, and turn the year back to 2008. There are those of us who cannot face nor accept that this reality is rapidly approaching.

Thank you and good day.

Nuk is his obvious replacement.

There's 2 ways I see it going,

1, We make the playoffs. The team is showing promise for Kyler's 3rd year and despite a down year he decides to stick around on reduced money. Despite the lack of yardage he has shown his leadership on the field.

2, We don't make the playoffs. He feels like his lack of yardage is holding us back. He decides to call it a day.

OK. I give. What is a Nuk?

It's Hopkins nickname. Has been since he was a kid I believe.

No one can replace Fitz as a person/legend. And, I'm not doubting how good Nuk is, but we NEED three VG WR's, and if Larry retires we'll only have two. Whether it's FA or the Draft we have to come up with another WR. And one with size and speed. I like AI, but only see him as a gimmick guy who can contribute but not as a top three guy.

Ummmm lol. On the field, Nuk is great but off the field, there’s no comparison.

No doubt about it
At least how it looks at our eyes

explain why Larry is such a better man than Deandre Hopkins please

 

[cardncubfan]

No. I don't think the Cards or the fans are ready for Fitz to retire. Fitz & the Cards go together like milk & cookies, cream & sugar, hot dogs & mustard, Abbott & Costello, Martin & Lewis, salt & pepper, pencil & paper, peanut butter & jelly, Sonny & Cher.....etc. You get the idea.

 

[ReasonableMan]

If Larry could take a haircut he’s a decent WR3/psuedo TE with great ford awareness at critical moments. I’d like to see him stay but not at 11mil

How is Fitz a better man then Nuk? Fitz would never weave in and out of a political caravan flipping off adults and children. Unacceptable way to represent the Cardinals regardless of what side of the fence you are on.

Not sure what his hair has to do with it.....but, if you think its to long...I guess he could cut it.

Hahahahaha. Hopkins hurting them snowflake feelings. Makes me love him even more

It’s football slang for a paycut

 

[Wanderer]

Larry will still be with the team even if he is not on the field.

He will be made special assistant to the owner or something so he is around everyday if he wants to be.

It will be Fitz’s decision no way Bidwill pushes him out.

Why do we need 3 VG wide receivers?

Look at the past superbowl winners. Which of them had 3 "very good" WR's?

Chiefs had Hill and Watkins, then rookie Hardman and Robinson. None of the Pats teams have had great WRs for years. Eagles had Aghalor and Jeffries.

The Niners got to the SB last year with what? Samuel and Bourne?

Nuk, Kirk and A.N Other is more than enough. If we have a decent defense and a run game.

Thanks for making my point. People like you are why there are 15 to maybe 20 people talking to each other on this board. Used to be a lot more with actual knowledge of football that has widdled down to a handful.

My kind of leader.

lol would you like some cheese?

 

[Proximo]

The answer is yes.

Right now we are better playing 2 TE or 2 RB sets than having Fitz on the field. He only offers one thing right now, great hands. His ability to get open is terrible, and he is subpar as a blocker when compared to our TE's.

 

[PACardsFan]

I have been a Cardinal fan since 1964 & Fitz will ALWAYS be my favorite. Sure, I wish we could pay him less, but still hopeful he’ll continue to play. He’s just coming off a productive game against Seattle, so I hope it continues. I think he returns for another season if the Cardinals continue to improve, make the playoffs, but fall short. He’ll retire if we crap the bed the 2nd half of the season or if we win the SB.

 

[Borderrat]

Again pointing out a fact to a question that was asked. Again a ignorant response.

Now calling your response ignorant despite the obviousness of it will get me banned while you continue to offer nothing to the discussion. That is why you have 15 people talking to each other instead of the many that used to contribute.
