He should be, if he doesn't want to go to a real contender and try for a ring next year. It's not happening here. Larry agreed to come back and buy in for one more run at it. #1 QB, hot shot "revolutionary" coach....thought maybe he could catch lightning in a bottle. If we had looked strong to end the year, made the playoffs, and we actually had a shot at being a championship team next year, I fully believe he would be back. To come back next year and watch coaches getting fired, players like KM coasting through the season after about week 6...and the crap show its going to be next year...Larry doesnt deserve that.
Doubt Larry cares. He probably announced it to the team. He always said he wouldn't make a huge deal about retirement.
All the best to Larry but especially after today Cards need to be investing that 11 mill in another player.
I'm sure Keim's bartender at Steak 44 will help make the right call on replacing Larry's $11mm. Godspeed to Fitz, the greatest Cardinal ever.
Why is anyone shocked? I along with others having been saying it for awhile now. 1) the torch of being “the man” has been passed to Dhop 2) rarely being targeted each game 3) Larry being a guy who is more about the team & in the past not wanting a big send off & the fanfare. No fans at the last home game, missing week 17 of a potential playoff play in game. Probably the perfect ending the way he wanted it.
