    Who's your favorite bust? QB Edition!

    Well, I knew Leaf would win and didn't need one more vote. I chose Jeff George, because he was the most amazing. Proven NFL ability, proven ability to win and dominate, and walking proof that being a better-that-average player takes a measure of human...what? Maturity?

    So What's Up With Diaw This Year???

    It took JJ three years to really shine--maybe it's just a matter of time. Have there been any stories on how much emphasis they are putting on drills with him attacking the basket? That's where I've been surprised to see little change, whether Amare is in or out.

    Cards Shuffle

    I'm sad to say it, but this statement about Mitch is simply ridiculous. Year after year the half-glass-full folk say "Hooray, we've got new coaches, we've got more good players, the coaches say we are in much better shape," and year after year they have been wrong. Not just wrong, but...

    ha! ha! a famous quote from russ grimm

    "Edge Strolls to Another T"--"Edgerrin James took the ball, ran 2 yards, looked around, saw 11 Rams defenders flat on their backs, and walked another 18 yards for the slowest TD 'run' in NFL history--1 minute, 37 seconds. Edge noted that this line might extend his career another ten years."...

    Teams can lose draft picks in new policy

    What this means is that character issues will affect draft position a lot more, because teams have to consider not just loss of the player, but more general pain. A new profession will emerge--wet-nurse for spoiled brat players; a search will start for the '6-Day Downer' pill; the day may...

    About Next Season

    In my first 6 years in the Valley, we were regularly in the playoffs but got bounced early. The last 3 years we've made the WCF regularly, and haven't been all that far away from the next step. A lot of that is D'Antoni. He should not be fired--totally apart from the fact that his replacement...

    The MVP Race... over?

    I'd venture that since Nash usually defends the other team's PG, a lot of his defense should be of the 'disrupt the play early' variety; also, he may get caught in the P&R dilemma more often than other players. If so, at best he's going to seem out of position more often than usual, and it...

    Suns @ Lakers - Game Thread - Sunday April 8, 2007 - 12:30 PM

    Originality is good. I noticed that Nash got a few good rebounds today, I think we should try moving him to PF and tell him to forget this 'assist' garbage. His selfishness would work better with a post-up game.

    New Mock from War Room: All 7 Rounds.

    I pray you're right, lobo.

    New Mock from War Room: All 7 Rounds.

    To repeat: OT is our top need, obviously and still. If we ignore that, there's little reason to think getting one more great skill player like AP will help us appreciably--Leinart will still get killed, AP and Edge will still use their skills dodging multiple tacklers behind the line.... Ho...

    What if Oakland Threw a Curve Ball

    I think Jeff's analysis is generally good. As for what the Cards WILL do of the four 'blue-chippers' are gone, I'd guess they choose Anderson. He's about on a par with Adams in many books, he could replace Berry if injured, or Okeafor if his performance declines, a pass rush could help the CB...

    Is there any way we pass on Thomas?

    Well, the argument that OTs chosen high in the draft are unusually likely to be busts has been pretty well squashed by the facts. The claim that Suggs is a bust has been fairly well squashed, but the pro-bowl voters could've been brainwashed, so here are some stats on Suggs vs. pro-bowl DEs and...

    Where we stand before the draft.

    I agree with a lot of what Aikdog says--very good assessment. If our center situation is D+, our OT situation is F--at any rate, I'd say D+ for OTs may be high. I'd call the center grade about a C+, since we can survive with Leckey and Johnson is maybe better. At LB, we need to resign Darling...

    Joe Thomas hate all of a sudden? Why.

    Oh, well, I guess I'm one of those "Draft folk". BUT I would not give my firstborn for Thomas--but $25.00, yes, I would give that to charity if it would influence the football powers to let us draft Thomas. No opinion about Chow--I'm glad we got KW. No, not 90%--but maybe 70.:) Who's this...

    Versatile O-line in good shape as draft nears

    I'm glad that everyone sees the contradictions in this. They're starting over from scratch, with none of the roles clearly set--the end of last year is written off as uninformative. Reading between the lines, Grimm is essentially saying, "I don't know what the **** to do with this bunch." My...

    If ex-Cardinal coaches did the draft

    We need Graves or MB in there, too, asking "Is he cheap? How cheap?"

    IF you truly believe Adrian P.

    Buckybird, your day 1 draft keeps the Cards where they have been for the whole time here in AZ--without a decent OL. Nobody here or drafted in your plan would be a starter on a team with a decent OL (maybe there's one, but I'd like to see proof). Corey Hilliard is ranked about 20th on most...

    Things rounding into shape, my 3rd Cards mock draft

    I like parets of this, but Hughes is too slow--why not take Alexander at 3? Or, my preference, Mike Otto OT at 3? I think we have to resolve to make OL a strength of this team--all the more if we're going to try to run a lot. For a fifth pick, I suggest choosing a KN--a designated...

    Who do you accept at #5?

    I endorse this argument (but not the punctuation, etc.). We have one of the best sets of skill players in the NFL. How many running backs in a row have to fail before people grasp that the OL is simply more important than RB talent? How many QBs have to bite the dust? If I were Edge, I would...

    Ford and Simmons talking Durant and the Suns

    I agree with Sactown--if Havlicek got to end as a Celtic, Marion should end as a Sun. I am also really queasy about trading Barbosa--if that might be part of a reasonable package that would work. I admit, I don't know of another reasonable package. And I like the idea of Noah. But all this...

    Pacers beat Spurs

    Sad to say it (for the pocketbooks of all the players/owners), but the season is too long. They need to do something for interest's sake--maybe save all the cross-conference games till the last month or two?

    Can't wait for Thursday!!!!

    I am a very committed Cards fan, and if I somehow got total control of all TV coverage, I wouldn't schedule the Cards to 2 national games. 2 years ago, everybody said 'break-out year'. Last year, same thing. This year, I hope, I pray, but I don't bet a nickel, let alone ratings differential...

    Dallas @ Phoenix - Game Thread - Sunday April 1, 2007 - 12:30PM (3:30PM ET) ABC

    Nowitzki complaining about no foul when he came down on Diaw's foot after jumping forward on his shot was classic, too. The same when Howard got beaten by LB, who was stopped by Terry, then while Terry fouled LB, Howard grabbed him around the waist, stuck his face in the way of Barbosa's elbow...

    Hardy Brown

    I'm very sorry he stopped--his posts were unusual in the depth of knowledge the expressed about football roles and strategies. I wish other posters would do that more--I think some have comparable knowledge, but most of the new information that comes out in posts is statistics, which are...
