    Walter Mitchell - 2004 Offensive Outlook

    I really don't see Pete Kendall ever moving back to guard. The move was made to extend his career and turn him into a bonafide center, not to move over and fill a need temporarily. Pete took to the move quite well and I see almost 0% chance that he moves back to guard. He is next year's...

    Would you consider this a fair trade?

    Ogunleye's status aside, this is not a fair trade. Using the draft pick values (3-2200, 34-560, 65-265 for the Cards picks, and 20-850, 88-150 for Miami's) this leaves 2025 "draft points" more that the Cards are giving up, which translates to a #3 overall pick. It they think that Ogunleye is...

    Antwan Smith?

    I like the pick of Taylor, but I think the best option is to trade down like last year and get two 1st rounders out of this draft. Take a big WR and the best defensive player available.

    Antwan Smith?

    I'm not saying that it's the right thing to do, but it's what they are going to do. Their running game is not very good, I agree. But there are too many holes to fill on this team. Steven Jackson is good enough to go in the first or second, I'm not debating that. But the Cardinals will not...

    Antwan Smith?

    Re: Re: Re: Antwan Smith? Unless he's available in the third round, the Cards are not drafting Jackson. In fact, they won't take a RB until round four or five, if at all. They are going in with Shipp, Smith and Scobey, and if Anderson can play, which he should be able to, then Anderson...

    Drafting the 2nd QB????

    Notice that Dennis Green took two of those QBs to the playoffs (Cunningham, McMahon). And not too many times did the second QB taken go #3 overall. Obviously, some went all the way at #65. Can you believe that Carmazzi went ahead of Tom Brady and Mark Bulger? Hindsight.

    NFL Draft Blitz 7 round mock draft...

    Actually, Steve Bush (the guy from ASU) was used primarily as an H-Back in Mac's system. He was also training Josh Rue to work as an H-back as well. But you're right about Freddie Jones - pure TE.

    Anybody Know

    It's a little wordy, but this is the official schedule. Not sure the exact dates for visits and cap. February 24 - Deadline for clubs to designate franchise and transition players. March 2 - Deadline for submission of qualifying offers by clubs to their restricted free agents whose...

    Fitzgerald will be in 2004 NFL Draft

    Brees was never really intended to be their franchise QB. They would have liked him to work out, but they traded that year and took Tomlinson in the first. Brees was their 2nd round pick. That being said, I agree that they don't take a QB, but will trade. Eli goes number one to the highest...

    Archie's boys living large

    Believe it or not, I spend more time at the facility than anyone you just mentioned. Nothing against those you just mentioned, I enjoy reading their work and they seem to be accurate. But believe me, Bickley is there when he is doing a story on the Cardinals. It isn't just hatched in his...

    Archie's boys living large

    Believe it or not, there are more than three people (Somers, Urban, Jurecki) that are involved in what the Cards do. And people who work together (Bickley and Somers) talk to each other. Dan does not throw speculation out and label it as fact. He will speculate and tell you so, but won't call...

    Archie's boys living large

    Call it what you want, it is the case. They spent all of their money on Green and were not able to bring in the assistants they would have like. Sorry, but he was right on that one.

    Richard Soloman

    Are you kidding me with this? Seriously. Yeah, it was completely Rod Graves' fault that four DEs went between 9 and 15 in the draft and that Philly traded up to get ahead of AZ for McDougle. As for Colvin, the Cards offered him above "fair market" and Colvin turned them down. Had nothing to...

    Archie's boys living large

    While I'm not a huge fan, Bickley could work in 99% of all markets in this country. He left (by choice) Chicago to come here. There aren't many cities bigger (sportswise) than Phoenix and Chicago. I don't understand why everyone wants to view the Cards through rose colored glasses. They...

    Richard Soloman

    First of all, if this topic is so well known that it is being discussed on a messaged board, I tend to think Rod Graves knew about Richard Solomon. Dennis Green was going to be given full control of his staff here. He will not have full say in his roster and player personnel decisions. Don't...

    Richard Soloman

    I don't neccessarily think that it is hatred of the person by ownership, just a history of bad coaching. When owners or management have tried to have DG fire Solomon, he has said no, and in Minnesota, threatened to resign midseason. He has a poor track record as a coach, but for some reason...

    Question for Skkorp

    Basic geometry, another ineptitude of the former coaching staff.

    Question for Skkorp

    Rod Graves and Michael Bidwill called late in the year for Mac to play McCown because they wanted to evaluate whether or not he could be a starting QB in this league or if they wanted to draft a QB this year. Preston never proved over the course of his time with the Cards that he was close to...

    Would anyone be DISSAPOINTED if we wind up with Roth??

    Using that theory, Ben is also throwing to and protected by inferior players. I'm not saying that Manning isn't a great choice, or a future franchise QB, but don't give him all the credit in the world just because he is a Manning and played in the SEC. He may have played against better...

    Would anyone be DISSAPOINTED if we wind up with Roth??

    Absolutely right. Peyton isn't even as good as Michael Vick, much less Eli. More successful yes, more talented no.

    Would anyone be DISSAPOINTED if we wind up with Roth??

    Considering he will likely go to San Diego, Oakland or Arizona, don't hold your breath on a Super Bowl anytime soon.

    Would anyone be DISSAPOINTED if we wind up with Roth??

    And Daunte Culpepper, Byron Leftwich, Steve McNair, John Kitna, Kelly Holcomb, Rich Gannon, Jay Feidler, David Carr, Jeff Garcia and Kurt Warner. All pretty respectable names that went to schools not in the big six conferences. Among others...

    Would anyone be DISSAPOINTED if we wind up with Roth??

    I'll argue point by point. Final BCS Standings: Miami, OH Strength of schedule 68, Mississippi Strength of Schedule 70. Very comparable schedule, and if you buy the BCS system, Ben played a tougher schedule. The fact that Eli was in the SEC doesn't mean anything anymore. He DID NOT play...

    Would anyone be DISSAPOINTED if we wind up with Roth??

    If Eli Manning's last name was Smith, Roethlisberger would be the clear number one draft pick. Manning has gotten so much hype since he was a freshman, that he is now in the Lebron James category of "must be number one pick or GM may get fired". There is, and has been for a while, so much talk...

    Shouldn't we try to keep Sullivan?!

    I'm not saying that he should be back, or that he shouldn't. I'm just pointing out that he is a very successful teacher of WRs. He gets minimal credit for Anquan because he wasn't WR coach, and should get minimal blame for BJ's lack of success. It's true, he did not want to bring in veteran...
