    Would You Rather...

    Believe SK had this QB-heavy draft circled on his long-term planning calendar as the year the Cards go for a 1st round QB. Problem is plenty of other teams appear to have the same notion. How else to explain Cleveland's pass last year in the first round? They went for the draft choices in this...

    UFA--Who would you resign?

    One big reason Stanton stuck with the Cards was his knowledge of BA's offense. New coaching staff and that advantage for him is no longer there. In fact, I think more of the Card's UFA sign elsewhere---guys on D will end up in New York with their old D coach. The backups and role players...

    There are plenty of people on this forum who would geld your horse just for the fun of it. Was the checkup and shots for you or your horse?

    UFA--Who would you resign?

    When I looked at that long list of FA, the one thing that made for some hesitation . . . I don't know enough about our new coaching staff and their playbook to know which guys will translate from the BA roster to the new one. BA didn't hesitate using smaller, quick guys on both sides of the...

    UFA--Who would you resign?

    Sportrac has the list of the Cards UFA. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/arizona-cardinals/ Who (if any) do you want to sign?

    Jay Cutler

    Cutler was rated at #33 and Stanton #31 in the Bleacher Report review of 2017 QB play. Don't get sidetracked by the name recognition. Cutler was reunited with Gase in Miami (the coach he had his best season with) and still had a below average performance. Maybe a stop gap guy for the Cards...

    Salary Cap Tracker

    Look at the very top of the Sportrac Page and you'll see the line "Assumes a $178,000,000 team salary cap." That's even more generous than the reported increase up to 174 to 178 mil (from the 2017 figure of $167 Mil)...

    Salary Cap Tracker

    Sounds ugly to even suggest . . . but do have to consider Fitz in the cap hit? Will he have a place on the team going forward? His 'Hines Ward' role in the slot and moving around---is that in the McCoy playbook? I can't imagine MB allowing Fitz to be cut---but even Jerry Rice was released...

    Adrian Peterson salary cap cut

    Other players are motivated when they watch a teammate give it that extra effort. That includes how a pro like Fitz works in practice and how AP runs with vicious intent during a game. True that KW always plays hard---but I believe he gave it that extra push with an injured AP watching him from...

    Salary Cap Tracker

    My apology for posting this link if it is a website (or a similar one) that you already visit and check: Sportrac Salary Cap Analyzer: http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/ We have a lot of posts going up that don't appear to check the current state of the salary cap for not only the Cards but also...

    Why The Cardinals Should Draft a QB in Round 1

    SK suffers from GM 'Paralysis By Analysis.' I have no doubt that SK can quote chapter and verse from all the stats compiled on the QB and the draft in the many links posted here. The easiest thing to do is to find a reason not to make a move. This is where all the analysis makes a GM catatonic...

    Would our 1st, both 3rd’s, and next years 2nd get us to #3 overall?

    Getting their QBOTF needs to happen about now with Eli long in the tooth. About the only way to turn a horrible season into a positive is to use that #2 pick in the draft to get their guy at QB. If they skip on a QB and take RB Barkley and pair him with Eli they may having a winning season...

    Cryptic TM Tweet

    TM put it on the line for the Cards and will go forward the rest of his life with the aftermath of two major knee injuries. Don't blame him for not wanting to budge off his contract. Hope he has the same kind of return to health that Thomas Davis of the Panthers had---bad injuries and now...

    KC Star: Deal in Place to Trade Alex Smith to Washington

    Palmer retired one year early leaving BA to decide if he wanted to hang around for a year without a starting vet QB. Palmer probably had enough broken bones to last him a lifetime and walked away from his final contract year. Believe the master plan was to get that QBOTF in this draft and let...

    KC Star: Deal in Place to Trade Alex Smith to Washington

    You mean you're not supposed to fart in church??? I guess all those people shouting out "OH LORD!" were not in holy rapture after my rolling thunder response to the sermon.

    KC Star: Deal in Place to Trade Alex Smith to Washington

    Technically correct but . . . The link provided by DevonCardsFan had this statement: Two weeks after the Cardinals made Reddick the No. 13 overall pick, coach Bruce Arians told ESPN that it wouldn't have mattered if any or all of the top quarterback prospects were still on the board as long as...

    KC Star: Deal in Place to Trade Alex Smith to Washington

    Pretty fair summary of the situation. The average person---and GM---is about average.

    KC Star: Deal in Place to Trade Alex Smith to Washington

    The organizational chart established by MB has SK in charge of the draft . . . note that BA didn't say that he personally had Reddick rated higher than any QB. Instead, he referred back to the SK's draft board that had Reddick above any QB. BA toed the line in regards to the Org Chart that was...

    Adrian Peterson salary cap cut

    AP is a walk-in HOF when he retires. If his performance with us last season was any indicator, he is also a guy who can still play at a high level and will want to get his reps. That doesn't make him a malcontent since that same drive and desire is what helped make him a HOF RB and a man among...

    KC Star: Deal in Place to Trade Alex Smith to Washington

    The absurdity for the Cards is that they went into a HC search without a QB on the roster. Also, I've been looking back via websearch on the BASK relationship. I think there are enough hints as to how we got into the 'No QB under contract' situation. I believe it is more on SK than BA. BA...

    The QB Market: Yes or No?

    The restrictions vs. tampering are not followed. Teams ignore the so-called rules and go after the players they want. Here's an article before last year's FA period: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/03/06/nfl-sends-out-annual-legal-tampering-memo/ The player's original team doesn't...

    KC Star: Deal in Place to Trade Alex Smith to Washington

    Vikes have 1st year QB Kyle Sloter on their 53-man roster in addition to the 3 'name' guys who will hit FA on March 14. So Vikes do have a QB under contract.

    Cousins Dollars Look Too High

    A GM not looking to tweak the system to get the QB he wants doesn't want one bad enough.
