Whiz was a QB killer.

Whiz took them out mentally, and then Grimm would polish them off physically

Well like I said Wilson is on the downside and was seeing less and less playing time, William gay was not really any good, Kerry Rhodes turned down restructuring and an extension can't really cry about losing him if he didn't want to be here. I would of liked to have Tolar but is he really the key to your defense he's not a make or break player. I think Rashad Johnson is going to be really good and this I'd the deepest safety class maybe ever in the draft.
As far as offense who did you want them to go get. Let's understand were not winning next year hell 10 wins might not get you into the playoffs next year in our division. Jake long was the big name out there but he's finished the last two seasons on the injured list.
we have the worst offensive line in football and have so for three years and Jake Long, Ryan Clady, Sebastian Vollmer, Andre Smith were all FA at OT and Brandon Moore and Andy Levitre were available at OG. We didn't even kick the tires on these guys. Another position we've been desperate to fill has been a true pass rusher... what happens? Elvis Dumeril pops open on the market and do we even take a whiff? no.
bottom line... even if you're a rebuilding club, that doesn't mean if there are good impact players you just pass on them because you're calling a mulligan on the season. that's complete crap IMO. You build through FA and the draft and if you're able to get one of those guys above, just one them, then you don't paint yourself into a corner at 7, like we did with Levi Brown back in the day.
There are lots of reasons to be concerned about Bruce Arians. The commented mentioned in the OP is not nearly one of them.
Judge him by his actions, not by his words. Especially words spoken in the month leading up to the draft.
Its one thing to talk up your players, all coaches do that. Harbaugh is doing that with Bust Jenkins saying he could make a push to be their break out player next year.
But when BA calls Levi Brown "Elite", no joke, thats a major red flag. It makes me question his ability to judge talent ( and thus makes me question the Stanton choice) and his ability to be a successful NFL head coach.

Calling an OK player whos struggled most of his career "Elite" is stepping into senile territory.
Im just saying it makes me nervous and if in 3 years we are 2-14 with the worst roster in the NFL, I will bump this thread.
Banking on guys like Drew Stanton and Rashad Johnson and Yerimiah Bell and hopefully a rookie? With a HC with no previous record of success on his own? Our last HC who you claim sucked also had a ring AND two NFC West titles and an NFC championship. Took a team that had won only 16 games total the previous 3 seasons to the SB in only two years without blowing up the roster. Far better resume than your grand daddy Arians. Looks like the same old Cardinals with Dave McGinnis and Jeff Blake to me. 4-12 or 5-11 just like always. Our season will be finito by the end of September.
On the other hand these are the Cardinals and nothing they do is normal. They'll probably go 11-5 this coming season.

That was cute. I'm a grown ass man I don't come here to get in flame wars on internet message boards. If that's your thing that's cool.
Levi Brown was the reason we got to the SB, Kurt was immobile and we were last in rush attempts, Rush yards in a 1 dimensional pass offense. I've been scorched for years but I know what I know. NO OTHER TACKLE HAS EVER ACCOMPLISHED WHAT LEVI HAS ACCOMPLISHED! Joe Thomas was never asked to do that, No tackle has ever been asked to do what Levi has already done- it was formerly impossible.
26 sacks in 610 attempts with a last place run game 2 years in a row - and people call him a bust? He deserves a medal or a ring, not trashed.

lmao - says the guy who took offense to me posting an image of a chicken who thinks the sky is falling? it wasnt even directed at you but if you want to get upset over it, have at it. This picture is a thread synopsis and has nothing to do with you. You must not understand the reference if you think otherwise. Your not even saying the sky is falling.
I just can't help but laugh at the sky is falling posts like yours when it comes to the Cardinals. Not only has the sky fallen on them but the earth has collapsed under their feet 18-31 since that great game vs Green Bay. An offense that averaged 13.6 ppg in 2010 and finished 31st last season. Just hired a guy as HC that no other team hired as HC in 15 years in the NFL. I could see that if we were Baltimore or New England or Pittsburgh fans.
Excuse me for wanting more from the Cards than 4-12 or 5-11. That NFC title and Fitzs TD in the SB and hanging 400 yards of offense vs the top defenses in the NFL spoiled me.
