Kool Aid with a touch of vodka
I was a Plummer homer till the bitter end but after looking over his tenure at the Cardinals the fact has slammed me in the face like a two ton... heavy thing if I may quote Queensryche. Plummer was hard for me to dish because he had all the qualities of a leader and a competitive spirit that was very hard to match, in between it all I forgot about one major thing... scrambling is icing on the cake for a QB and Plummer DOES NOT HAVE A GREAT ARM AND CANNOT READ A DEFENSE. The Broncos will finish at 500 if lucky and the Cardinals are a much improved team without him. The whole freaking offense is going to look better. The line will have a QB with a quicker release and won't have to worry about blocking for a guy who would run out of the pass protection before it even breaks down.
If you think McAddley and Kasper showed promise with Plummer last year, then them along with Johnson, Boldin and Gilmore will look like world beaters with Blake at QB. I don't see Blake as a stop gap QB, I see a guy who has been tossed unfairly about the league and has a QB rating close to 80.
We no longer have to wait on the developement of Thomas Jones and have backs that KNOW what to do with a open hole in the line and won't perform a broadway musical of dancing and take advantage of the opportunity the line has given them. Oh yeah, we have a fullback who can block, thank you.
Why is it we are also so ready to believe the draft is going to provide the only starting players on defense. I didn't think Dennis Johnson would be any help his first year but this young kid has a lot to offer. Bryant by the way, I feel will be twice the player he was last year. Finally, I can't wait for Calvin Pace to get on the field. The guy didn't play at a big school but neither did Roy Green or Darrell Green. Yes, we lost the Mel Kiper value game which is based on predictions that hardle EVER come true but I'm more worried about the upcoming season and this team needed players and got some. Pace looks like one pi$$ed guy right now and I hope he stays this way through out the season and takes it out on the opponents.
If you base your observations on the rest of the media slamming press that seems to feel it is safe to Cardinal bash every second then I can't say anything to change your mind.
No we didn't get Robinson, but then again if Graves would have been that quick to sign him then chances are we would also have Kordell Stewart as a QB right now and I would not have any playoff aspirations with a AFC Plummer clone.
Yeah, I got some Cardinal kool-aid but I didn't add the sugar. I'm a long time fan that can't wait for training camp to start. It is the football world against the Cardinals and I proudly wear my Cardinal gear in the heart of Cowboy country. I don't have much problems with Cowboy fans. They take a shot at me and all I have to tell them is the Cardinals beat them in their last meaningful game with Plummer of all people, ala '98, beat them in the last game they played in 2002 and we have Emmitt Smith and they can justify all they want when he reaches a 1000 yards with this Cardinal OL.
I have have a motto for this season. Everyone said we reached in this year's draft, FINE!
"Reach for the Stars", GO CARDINALS!!!
