    3 Concerns the Cards Have About the Upcoming Season

    So, Nurse Ratched, at this point, we have only had ONE cycle FA, draft, camp cuts, etc. Check back after a few months and you will be correct. Right now, it is ONE, not TWO. "If Mr. Stout doesn't want to take his medication orally, I'm sure we can arrange that he can have it some other way...

    3 Concerns the Cards Have About the Upcoming Season

    Tough to correct every position group in one cycle of FA, draft, camp cuts, etc. As painful as it might be in regards to the W-L record this season (and probably next), I agree with the approach of bringing in young vets via FA and using our top-of-the-round draft picks on some good players. We...

    2024 schedule release

    I've looked at the way the Lions have gone about their slow march to respectability as a road map for the Cards. Lions went 9-8 in the second year of their rebuild---Cards are in their second year of remodeling under Gannon and Oss. Both teams are going about the business of changing the...

    3 Concerns the Cards Have About the Upcoming Season

    We had a 4-win team last year but the guys played hard and to the whistle. We don't need any NBA players. As long as they play with passion, they will have a puncher's chance---I'll keep watching and rooting on the team if they maintain that spirit.

    But not as bad as "young man yells up the stairs at the old man while living in the old man's basement."

    NBA Players to the NFL?

    Charles Barkley was pretty certain that NBA players can't play in the NFL. Seemed to be a stronger reaction by NFL players that NBA players would not be able to make the transition. Did not find too many NFL players who were saying they could make the move into the NBA. More NFL players were...

    NBA Players to the NFL?

    There's a hilarious and insightful debate on YouTube between Shannon Sharpe, Chad Johnson, and Gilbert Arenas. I'll not post the link---just head over to Youtube and search for the Nightcap playback. Sharpe makes the point that NBA players are more athletic and it is the 'hitting' that...

    NBA Players to the NFL?

    I did a quick websearch as to LeBron playing football in high school: https://clutchpoints.com/lebron-james-high-school-football

    NBA Players to the NFL?

    If I recall correctly, LeBron toyed with the idea of playing TE with the Cleveland Browns. There would have been scheduling conflicts with the NBA and NFL schedules.

    NBA Players to the NFL?

    Antonio Gates (Chargers) went from college basketball to NFL---never played football at college level. https://www.nfl.com/news/long-history-of-basketball-players-converted-to-nfl-players-0ap2000000335488 Draymond Green has been a kicker in the NBA---might be able to transition to the NFL as...

    NBA Players to the NFL?

    NBA Austin Rivers made a recent comment that he could take 30 NBA players and put them into the NFL. It may be unfair to post the question to a football fan forum but---Do you agree with Rivers? (I think there are a few---but 30? Right now?)

    Possible new kickoff rules.

    Guys run the 40 at the Combine. DBs do it around 4.5 seconds. So, 2+ seconds for both sides to close on their half of a 40 separation??? The kicker is allowed to be on the move after the kick---so, is your kicker going to be the lead guy on the D since he has some forward momentum or will...

    Possible new kickoff rules.

    Time to revisit cardpa's thread on the new kick-off rules. I'd love to be in the Cards ST room as the coaches go over the planning for both the return game and defending this new set of rules. I've not been able to find any statement regarding the spacing of the guys along the line (both on O...

    2024 1st round pick #4 is Marvin Harrison Jr

    What's your pleasure on this meandering thread? (1) More pages of 'Yay, we drafted MHJ." (2) More pages of "Why are you posting here if you hate the Cards?" (3) More pages of "What number will MHJ wear?" (4) More pages of "Where can I get a red/white jersey?" (5) More pages of how much Fitz...

    2024 1st round pick #4 is Marvin Harrison Jr

    Agree that we need to see progress in KM's game to make him a complete QB. MHJ is a very accomplished WR coming out of college and certainly appears to be a 'generational' talent at that position. Now, it is up to KM and our coaching staff to maximize what MHJ brings to the team. What is...
