    Soup of the Day

    Kolb and Foles are an NFL eternity away from each other. Both played for the Eagles but that connection is superstitious thinking to avoid Foles because Kolb came over from the Eagles. Kolb only had a two-year stint with the Cards and was done in by injuries and concussions. I was surprised...

    Soup of the Day

    Looks like Foles is now the QB 'Soup of the Day.' He played a great game vs. the Pats and their mediocre D. The win over the Vikes was more impressive considering the high the Vikes were on with their miracle win and the fact that the Vikes D much better than the Pats. Plus, you know the...

    So does that harm Matt Patricia's HC chances?

    The Pat coordinators get hired away by other teams as much for their application of BB's philosophy and understanding of the 'Patriot way' as much as anything else. The Pats had some mediocre talent on D yet they worked the D-scheme to the SB. Their best CB was on the sid)elines (who knows...

    If only the Cards had to cope with such a problem!

    Foles...Thoughts as Cards next QB?

    The link provided looks pretty sketchy---more like some fan forum report or write-up than an actual vetted news report. Author Laura Amato is listed as a contributor to the 'Heavy' website. https://heavy.com/author/lauraamato07/ Still looks like a 2 yr. deal for $11 million. I can't...

    Foles...Thoughts as Cards next QB?

    The Pats have a mediocre D (at best). The also benched their best CB Malcolm Butler, reason not fully explained: https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2018/2/4/16971954/malcolm-butler-injury-updates-sick-super-bowl-2018 Even Brady's SB record 500+ passing yards---with his best deep threat Cooks out of...

    Foles...Thoughts as Cards next QB?

    One thing that caught my attention during the middle of the SB game analyst chatter was how the Eagles coaches Pederson and Reich got together and looked at the plays Foles had success with on his first go-round with the Eagles. Recall that Foles looked at best average in a few of his games...

    Foles...Thoughts as Cards next QB?

    Link? The only thing I can find on Foles 2017 FA contract with the Eagles was two years for $11 mil total: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2697434-nick-foles-returns-to-philadelphia-eagles-on-2-year-contract...

    Foles...Thoughts as Cards next QB?

    Cards had plenty of opportunity for Foles in the past. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/F/FoleNi00.htm#all_404972924 Scroll to the bottom of the page to review his 'Trade' and 'Player News' History. Now, he'll come with a price beyond a FA contract after being cut by the Rams...

    SB Predictions

    Your the man. I would never have guessed so many points and so much offense. I had the Pats winning by a TD---glad I was no where near Vegas or a sport betting website.

    Foles...Thoughts as Cards next QB?

    Foles is signed for next year with the Eagles. He was the winning QB in SB---no way the Eagles get rid of him with Wentz coming off a knee. Agree with masterphomeg---the Eagles decision on Foles will come when they see which is better with both already signed under manageable contracts. Ram...

    Super Bowl LII Gameday Thread

    Great game to end the 2017 NFL season. Eagles need to franchise tag Foles to keep him for next year until Wentz comes back. EDIT: I checked to see about Foles contract---he's actually already signed with the Eagles for next season...

    Why The Cardinals Should Draft a QB in Round 1

    Good point. MB was in the draft war room and was privy to the draft calls made by both Graves/SK. Who knows the tally sheet that he had between the two? LOL.

    SB Predictions

    Love to see the Eagles win and stop the Patriot re-runs SB celebration. Eagles are depleted by the 'flu' and their D comes up short. Another miracle Pat finish: 28-21.

    Why The Cardinals Should Draft a QB in Round 1

    I got the impression from the article with SK concerning Wilson that he (meaning SK) didn't put Wilson on the scouting report as a QB for the Cards to consider. SK took the responsibility . . . to his credit (or discredit). We have all heard the story of SK advocating for Adrian Peterson with...

    Why The Cardinals Should Draft a QB in Round 1

    Yup. The 'Draft Value Chart' is a starting point in trade negotiations. When a team shows up without a QB under contract---the cost of doing business just goes way up. Get ready to empty the wallet and pull your pockets inside out for all available change as well. Indy may need their own QB in...

    Cousins prefer the Vikes?

    Agree. Cousins and/or agent is just trying to draw as many teams as possible into a bidding war for his services. The recent reports that Washington may put the franchise tag on him and do a trade only highlights that all parties are simply doing what they deem in their own best interests . ...

    Cousins prefer the Vikes?

    Report that Cousins prefers signing with the Vikes if money is comparable. At the least, he knows how to up the bidding for teams desperate for a QB. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/report-vikings-are-kirk-cousins%e2%80%99-no-1-choice/ar-BBIEiy3

    Why The Cardinals Should Draft a QB in Round 1

    From 1962 to 1987, owner Bill Bidwill was also the 'de facto' General Manager. Believe he would be the winningest GM is Cardinal history. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/executives/BidwBi0.htm SK still has a way to go to catch up with Rod Graves' regular season record as AZ Cards GM...

    Why The Cardinals Should Draft a QB in Round 1

    Yup. Jamell Fleming. Discussed in the same article on SK and Russell Wilson: https://www.fieldgulls.com/2016/8/23/12601456/cardinals-russell-wilson-2012-draft-carson-palmer-ryan-lindley-steve-keim-logan-thomas-seahawks Brief career with Cards, KC, Jack...

    Why The Cardinals Should Draft a QB in Round 1

    You are correct regarding SK not being the GM. In 2012, SK was the vice president of player personnel. I did not state that SK was the GM over that draft. Still, he actually took responsibility for the Cards passing on Wilson and his scouting blunder...

    I'll color within the lines and take option (A). Of course, I think Jimmy G (guy already got a nickname) is exactly where he wants to be and the 49ers can't believe their luck in getting a QB who sure looks like their next franchise QB for a second round pick. No way he either leaves on his...

    Drug used by veterinarians to sedate an animal prior to a surgical procedure. Abused by humans getting a PCP-like high and hallucinogenic experience. At one time, was considered a possible treatment for depression. Some of the biochemical background: https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Ketamine
