Arizona Cardinals

Significant additions: Shaun King, QB; Troy Hambrick, RB; Bertrand Berry, DE; Obafemi Ayanbadejo, FB; David Macklin, CB; Karl Williams, WR; Riall Johnson, LB.

Significant subtractions: David Barrett, CB; Jeff Blake, QB; Scotty Anderson, WR; Everett Lindsay, OL; Peppi Zellner, DE; Kevin Kasper, WR.

Biggest offseason move: Drafting Larry Fitzgerald with the third choice. With Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin, the Cards have a reputable 1-2 punch at WR except -- except Boldin is out for at least two months with a knee injury. One other problem: Josh McCown is the QB throwing them the football.

Will make the playoffs if ... the NFL decides to go through contraction and rubs out the rest of the division.

Won't make the playoffs if ... the league is committed to a 16-game season.

Rookie to watch: Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Pittsburgh. He was a ballboy for the Vikings when Dennis Green coached there. Now he will snag passes for Green again, though this time he's handicapped by an offense that is built around an inexperienced quarterback (McCown) and a Hall of Fame running back who has little left (Emmitt Smith).

Overview: This club is worse, a lot worse, than Dennis Green thought. The Cards lost their top RB for the year and their top WR for at least two months, and their starting QB hasn't won more than one start. Green gains the benefit of the doubt, but so does history -- and history wins here. There's a reason this team's been to the playoffs once in the past two decades.

First of all he has Rail Johnson as a Significant Addition?

Second he has Scotty Anderson(who never made it on the team in the first place) and Lindsay(wasnt much in the first place) as Significant Subtractions.

Third when did we subtract Zellner?

Is it really that hard to actually do some homework on a team before you preview them? He must have been to busy trying to find a funny way of saying the cards wont make the playoffs

Most important off-season aquistion: Dennis Green.

Hate him or love him, he will have an impact on this team for years to come.

Sorry but that actually makes sense to me! The Franchise history is much lomger than Greens.

I can see what he is talking about, but the sentence was awkward at best. Almost Yoda-like.

True, this guy needs to do a little more homework in reference to player transactions but everything else is pretty accurate. Why get mad because reporters write about how bad this organization has been.

As soon as the Cards starting winning everything will change.

Nobody got mad becuase of his predictions or how bad we are, not one person even brought it up, it is the simple fact that media just dont do their homework anymore, they dont even try. It just isnt locally it is nationally. Predict all you want I can care less, just report accuratly, that is all anyone is asking for.
