    We ain't afraid of No Ghosts!

    Too many Card fans are shaking in their recliner chairs (and/or soiling their udies) at the thought of playing against one of the toughest schedules in the league. So much for the Parity effort to give a team with a lousy record the previous year a break the next year by being given a schedule...

    JC/Benson trade rumor to Cowboys?

    A rumor that would address our crowded RB room: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/cowboys-linked-to-former-pro-bowl-rb-james-conner-in-potential-trade/ar-AA22MERh?ocid=msedgntp&pc=LCTS&cvid=6a00c8e0897f4d24a25f89c8ea892751&ei=21&cvpid=6a00cdf7e3c44f4b8891a2b95122eb7f

    Why the hostility toward Carson Beck?

    On several threads there has been some outright hostility towards Carson Beck---statements that are pretty direct---"i don't like Beck,' etc. What is it about CBK (the K added so that we don't confuse him with cornerbacks) that is triggering this kind of animosity? His play and concern...

    CC to the Ravens

    Fan favorite and future HOF Calais Campbell is going back to the Ravens. I wanted him back here to put the finishing touches on his career in Cardinal Red. Believe he still showed plenty of value along the DL. Wonder if the Cards had any interest...

    Why JG and DP were fired

    Why JG and DP were fired---speculation as to why it happened. (1) MO/MB wanted to maintain KM’s potential trade value. When JG came out and said that JB would start even if KM were healthy, that sleight-of-hand to have KM presented with value went in the trash can. Teams took note of what the...

    AI Research?

    We are in a Brave New World with AI showing up everywhere---even on fan forums regarding terrible football teams. Some thoughts on using AI here . . . . Information is collected with very little source verification. That was true back when the first caveman drew pictures of prey animals on rock...

    Be Like Denny?

    In 2004, Denny Green had the #3 pick in the draft and selected Larry Legend. At the time, the Cards had Anquan Boldin and Byrant Johnson on the roster. WR was not a priority need pick at the time. In our QB room, we had Josh McCown, Shaun King, and added John Navarre in the 7th round of that...

    First-round Chaos

    The first trade at the top of the draft will throw all the mock drafts into the paper shredder. Teams will scramble when they see their first choice off the board and then make that trade decision to go after another of their top-rated players before he is off the board. All it takes is for...

    QB Simpson this year OR wait for next year's class?

    Where does Ty Simpson fall in this grouping of QB who will likely be available this time next year? Should Cards wait and hope for one of these guys over making the draft effort for Simpson? Top Returning Quarterbacks Going into the 2026 College Season...

    Who are these guys???

    A coaching change often brings roster turnover. The new staff looks to bring in guys specific to their scheme and ‘vision.’ Are we going to see any purge of the old and in with the new? Here’s the roster for SK/KK in their last season in 2022...

    Review of the Card's 2023 Draft

    I’m working on the outcome of the first MO draft in 2023. Consider this a ‘working draft’ so if you see corrections/additions, etc let me know. The full twists-and-turns during the 2023 draft that brought the Cards PJJ (among many others) are mind-bending—you have to go into the Matrix to...

    April Fool's Headlines

    It seems that every day in Arizona Cardinal Land is just another April Fool's Day joke (or nightmare.) Well, today is the actual April Fool's Day. So, what news headline would you suggest? Try one that will be picked up by social media as something that is real. LOL. "AZ Cardinals trade...

    Parity Trap

    Parity. A simple definition on the Internet: “All things being equal, parity means, basically, equality. It’s used in finance, physics, math, and even sports. When people talk about parity in a football league, for example, they mean the teams are evenly matched. Go, evenly matched team, go!”...

    NBA Players to the NFL?

    NBA Austin Rivers made a recent comment that he could take 30 NBA players and put them into the NFL. It may be unfair to post the question to a football fan forum but---Do you agree with Rivers? (I think there are a few---but 30? Right now?)

    Is it time to sit KM?

    Is it time to sit KM with the Rams game coming up? We need a true evaluation of KM’s shoulder. If he is injured to the point that he can no longer break the pocket and run for necessary yardage, it may be time to sit him. KM’s game is in his runs more so than his passing. Our offensive...

    Outfielder playing Quarterback

    KM played a lot of baseball—some of his mechanics are reflected in the way he throws the football. He played center field in college. A baseball outfielder is throwing to a stationary base or a stationary cut-off man, not a moving target. Some of his mechanics look like a shortstop throwing to...
