1 - Continue with Brissett. Don’t go back to Murray.
2 - We are at the point in the season where I no longer mind if they lose, since losing will both increase the likelihood that Gannon goes and increase their draft position. Sure, some will say that is a loser mentality. I will argue that to keep doing the same and expect a different outcome is the definition of insanity.
3 - Darius Robinson would have been a decent 4th- or 5th round-pick.
4 - Watching a game with Baker Mayfield is one long reminder of how QB-resurrection is a very real thing. No matter what they do in the draft, I would bring in a quarterback that has the talent, but for different reasons haven’t lived up to it yet. My choice would be Zach Wilson, but there are also a couple of other options (Will Levis, Trey Lance, Justin Fields).
5 - For all the criticism Ossenfort gets, he does have a 100% success rate on big ticket free agent-signings. Sweat is worth every penny.
6 - Good game by Isaiah Adams. He held his own against one of the best nose tackles in the NFL.
7 - Dante Stills is Ossenfort’s best draft pick.
8 - Harrison is one tough hombre. Don’t know what his foot injury was, but it certainly looked like it was hurting a lot.
9 - There are no morale victories, but I must admit that I am impressed by the fight they put up every game (yes, I know it is except for two).
10 - According to The Athletic, Cards have a 39% chance of a top five draft-pick. 93% chance of a top ten.
When I look at the schedule of the teams above them, I could see one or two wins for the Jets (Dolphins, Saints), Giants could beat Washington and the Raiders, and the Saints could beat Jets, Titans and Falcons. Washington could beat the Vikings, and Giants (especially if they get Jayden Daniels back). The Browns have a game against the Titans next week.
Of those teams, the Saints and Giants are two games in front of the Cardinals (because of strength of schedule). The Jets, Browns and Commanders just need one win. Obviously assuming that the Cardinals lose out.
In my mind, only the Titans and Raiders will definitely end above the Cardinals in the standings.
