Does Colvin's signing mean Graves is less optimistic?

Yes, another slight miscalculation by Mr. Graves. Maybe he could go get Swann and Wadsworth. The apologists in the crowd can keep spinning along with Graves, but at some point it's time to say the sand is rapidly draining from the hourglass.

Part of the problem is who wants to play defense for a team with no offense. Can you imagine being on the AZ field 75% of the time? Who wants to play for a team that can't keep its best players? Until the franchise learns how to take care of the players already here, it will be tough to get any big time free agents to come here unless the dollars are all they are looking at and you have to wonder how many of that type of free agent it would take to produce a winner.

So far this off-season has been a joke. The sad thing is that as usual the joke is on the Cardinal fans.

Well sports fans the grass isn't green on the the other side of the fence!!! Get ride of Plummer he throws to many passes for int's, get ride of Boston he has a drug problem. Maybe just maybe we should have been happy with what we had, because other teams in the NFL are happy with our cast offs and defections.

I am Just Pissed at this whole thing aren't any of you fan's

You think we should have been happy with 5-11? Face it, it's not like we are breaking up a super bowl team. We were a lousy team before, and we will probably be lousy next year. But as long as it's a change, then there is the chance to improve.

green machine We were 4-2 before the team went into the tank due to injuries. I would never be satisfied with 5-11 seasons. But injuries the way we had them did hurt this team.

No, see, Graves exercied the "do over" in that three year plan's fine print on the basis of the "whoops!" clause. We are now in the start of a new three year plan.

Do you honestly believe we were a 4-2 team? We had a defense that was overachieving against lousy offenses, and an offense that did absolutely nothing. Injuries did hurt, yes, but this was not a great team. The offense did nothing the whole season, including the 4-2 start. What's the question about coaching?

Realistically....If he accepted the GM job here, he HAS to be.

Lets go Graves, lets get some good....scratch (most good players are gone)....get some mid-tier...ah yes..

Lets gets some mid-tier guys before they are gone

The Cards played nobody in those first 6 games. The offense was sputtering then...well ahead of the injuries and the defense was overachieving against some pretty poor offenses. Once the schedule turned more difficult...game 7 against SF...then the real defense started to show itself for what it really was and then the offense started suffering the injuries. 4-2 was a mirage (could have been 5-1 had Jake not handed the game to SD on a silver platter) but realistically it was going to drop off starting with SF.

Yes the San Deigo game was played bad by all, just not Jake. Boston dropped 4 passes, offside penalties, et al. We just played bad that game. Jake was not the problem. The organization is and will be the problem until BB is gone.

Allan

P.S. Jake is gone now and so is Boston so let;s stop blaming them for what happened last year. We will have more people to blame this year!!!:(
