From Street & Smith's 2006 Pro Football Yearbook:

VIEW FROM THE OTHER SIDELINE
(an opponent breaks down the Cardinals)

"Same old, same old.[Running back] Edgerrin James is going to get killed.
They have what you're looking for at wideout in [Larry] Fitzgerald and [Anquan] Boldin. Their quarterback [Kurt Warner] is going to get hurt again. The offensive line is bad. They won't be able to run it....

They'll be able to throw it as long as Warner stays healthy. But the offensive line is so porous in pass protection that he'll get hurt. They just didn't add anyone of any stature in the offensive line and are counting on a rookie, Deuce Latui to start.....

Defensively, they're just run of the mill. Gave up a lot of points. They were 5-11 last year and they'll be 6-10 this year".

My take.....absolute hogwash. I will love ramming this down whoever's throat this came out of......and as soon as we break through to 7 wins I'll be e-mailing the folks at Street & Smith's to have them pass it along to whomever.

 

[TruColor]

I saw that as well. Pissed me off too. However, until the team plays up to their potential, we're probably gonna hear more of that uneducated, biased crap.

I wouldn't say that's an uneducated opinion - after all, everything he said was true of last season's performance. Considering we haven't done much with the O-line personnel, he's basically saying this season's fortunes rely on last year's dissapointing O-line improving and that a rookie (Latui) breaks through.
As much as I want to blast this guy's opinion, he's addressing all of our fears about the upcoming season.

Some one pass me some kool-aid quick!

The Cards don't deserve any respect from anybody! They've screwed everybody over way to many times to get that kind of praise. They've got to go out and earn it on the field.

I'm trying to stay neutral so don't get my heart broken again.

 

[az jam]

Winning on the field is the only way to change the image of the Cardinals.

Its more like we need to pin this list to our walls as a reality check, seriously this Line was amazingly bad, I'm staying kool aid free til I see improvement. Last year was a big let down for me

I'm with devilalum! Respect is not given away, it is something earned!

 

[Redheart]

...I'm trying to stay neutral so don't get my heart broken again.

...hmmm...now that you mentioned it...I HAVE had my heart broken before...

 

[Lloydian]

But this year will be different. I can feel it. I've never been so sure before. Wait a minute, maybe I have...

[40yearfan]

You guys sound like a bunch of jilted lovers.

See boys, that's what I'm talking about. Football is only one half skill, the
other half is something else.....something bigger!

You've gotta have....Heart! All you really need is heart!
When the odds are sayin' you'll never win, that's when the grin should start!
You've gotta have hope! Musn't sit around and mope. Nuthin' half as bad as
it may appear, wait'll next year and hope.

When your luck is battin' zero,get your chin up off the floor. Mister, you can be a hero. You can open any door. There's nothin' to it, but to do it. You've gotta have heart! Miles and miles and miles of heart! Oh, it's fine to be a genius of course! But keep that ol' horse before the cart! First you've got to have heart!

I'm guessing if I print this ticket out, barcode and all. And get the winner to Sam's town before you, the $1000 would be mine!

Good luck with either of you beating me to it.

Thanks for saving me the cover price of the issue.

I wonder which offensive line the writer was referring to?

Davis,Wells,Lynch,Brown,Ross or Davis,Wells,Step,Brown,Ross, or Davis,Wells,Step,Brown,Wakefield or Davis,Wells,Leckey,Step,Ross or Davis,Bridges,Leckey,Step,Ross, or Davis,Haayer,Leckey,Wakefield,Ross, or Davis,Bridges,Leckey,Brown,Ross or Ross,Bridges,Leckey,Brown and Wakefield.

16 games 8 different Offensive line configurations.

I guess you could say they were all equally bad?

Have at it! But just to give you a heads up: Pittsburgh already beat Seattle in that game. I'll be in Vegas for another pool tournament at about the same time this year. So far, the Cards are 70:1 underdogs. Maybe this time, my $20 will buy me a $1,400 winner.

70:1 ? Nonsense. Best I could find was 50:1

Certainly not an actual gaming site, but http://www.vegas.com/gaming/futures/superbowl.html

Odds

The best I found was at the Flamingo at 35-1 on feb 4th last year I got 200-1. Lets GO CARDS.
