    Stanton may miss 2 games. Lets see Gabby

    Yes, please.

    5 Question Areas: Cardinals Vs. Colts

    I'd be surprised if Gabbert is active this week. Arians has shown a tendency to stick with Palmer even when the QB is playing horribly. This has paid off in the past. Remember how badly Palmer played his first few games? I wanted him gone. I was wrong. I think (hope) Palmer will rebound...

    Did the Football Gods Descend on Foxboro?

    There are no Football Gods. If there were, the Cardinals would have won the Super Bowl.

    Sheldon Richardson about to be traded to the Seahawks

    So we're not supposed to be hatin' on a Seahawks move? Really?

    Rumor: Cardinals Offering 1st & 4th for Jarvis Landry

    Not gonna happen. There's a certain amount of need at the position, but it isn't 1st + 4th worthy. You can discount almost all rumors at this time of year. Without any important NFL games in the near future, people gotta find something to entertain themselves.

    Key Roster Decisions (Offense)

    No, for my money, you were right about that. Barkley displayed enough that he should have had a roster spot last year. BA didn't agree with either of us, but I thought he made the wrong call at the time.

    Updated 53 Post HOF Game

    Ellington should be gone except that BA is a fan. I was a fan, too, once upon a time, but I feel that AE's time has passed. He lost his zip, and a bit of his courage. BA, though, appears to be cut from a different cloth. Once he falls in love, he wants to continue the relationship even when his...

    BA = Begging for Attention?

    I seem to remember Buddy Ryan here, swaggering all over the podium. If only his mouth could have played QB.

    BA = Begging for Attention?

    Let me speak on someone else's behalf and guess at his motivation 'cause that never goes wrong. I haven't posted much but I wandered through these boards for a few years before signing up, and I didn't get the feeling that Mitch was anti-BA. He was very pro-BA at times. In 2016, Coach wasn't an...

    Keim's 3 Year Plan

    I think Alex Smith is more than a marginal QB, but maybe that's just me. If he was our back-up this year, I'd feel the team would still have a chance even if Palmer went out for most of the season. Smith isn't a superstar but he does the job, he does it dependably, and he does okay under...

    5 Things to Consider

    Nice write-up. I agree with a lot of what you say. On Freeney: If he comes in on the cheap, I'd love the signing. Hurries have value but I worry that he's lost the step needed to make sacks. Hurries = good, sacks = can change the whole game. Like BigRedRage, I suspect cap space is being...

    Is Alex Smith a possible QB for the Cardinals?

    Sure, he would. He took an aging Palmer, he'd absolutely accept Smith. I think he wants to avoid any "rebuilding" years, with a young, inexperienced arm behind center and I appreciate that. The Cards have had a dozen different rebuilding episodes and it feels like I've suffered through all of...

    Trubisky

    It's the "room to grow" part of that article that caught my eye. Leaves a little wiggle room...just in case. If he's given time to develop, if his line can give him time to throw, he might be a keeper. Those are a couple of big "ifs". If he'd been there at #13, I'd have wanted the Cards to pass.

    Bruce Arians: Haason Reddick was better than any QB on draft board

    Well, they did have an idea on how to acquire Palmer...and, considering the price they paid, no one else was seeing what they saw. Maybe they see more in Gabbert than everyone else is seeing, too. Love your enthusiasm, Camshaft, but I wasn't a Mahomes fan. He might be worth the pick but odds...

    Blaine Gabbert Signs 1-Year Deal

    I like the signing. Gabbert's career has been marred by injuries, coaching turnovers and bad teams. I'm looking forward to what he can do behind a decent line and with time to throw -- and with Fitzgerald to throw to.

    Floyd in talks with Vikings

    I'm not a fan of Floyd, especially after the way he handled getting cut by the Cards. He didn't show much last year -- in every way -- but he's shown flashes over the years. If he ever got his head out of his asterisk, he could be a solid player. If he were still on this team, would you say...

    QBOTF = Good not Great

    I have my doubts that Palmer retires this year. I think it depends on how much dirt he has to eat this year. If he's protected and given time to throw, if he is able to avoid injury, I think the man returns. I believe BASK thinks that way, too. If they don't, it's only because they're aware that...

    Mahomes at 13

    In the current ESPN magazine, Mel Kiper has the Cardinals selecting Mahomes at 13 ("extremely raw but has undeniable arm talent"). Todd McShay says the team goes for Trubisky ("natural accuracy and pocket mobility") at 13. I'm with you on this, Harry. I don't want Mahomes as a first or second...

    Zac Dysert

    Mitch, if BA is trolling these boards as a way of shaping the team, I hope he listens to you. I'd like to see what Dysert can do, too. If he shows talent, I'd love to see him taking Stanton's spot. Yeah, I know, Stanton has a winning record as a back-up but he didn't show very much last year...

    Who would draft Mixon in the 3rd round?

    Not even in the 7th round. Heck, I want him to pay double just to attend a game.

    Days 4, 5 of FA Thoughts

    Enjoyed the post, Mitch, and I agree that our moods can swing from day to day. There are days when I think the Cardinals are messing up. Other days, I don't have a problem with their relative lack of signings. On none of those days this year did I think our team wouldn't be better than SF and...

    Just Guessing

    I think you're solid on this, Harry. I know the Cardinals haven't signed many new bodies or players that are really exciting, but I'm okay with that. Today is Stupid Money Day, when every team with a fat wallet rushes out to mortgage their future. How often has that worked out in Arizona...

    The Cardinals' QBOF Conundrum

    Great analysis, Mitch, and a fun read. For all of the names being thrown around -- and I love playing the QBOF game -- I think the Cards pick someone in the mid-to-late rounds, have him compete with Dysert, and decide to keep Dysert. Two months ago, the Republic quoted Palmer praising Dysert...

    Cardinals will use Franchise Tag on Chandler Jones

    Just speculating: I wonder if Jones is hesitant to sign a long-term contract, suspecting that Fitz and Palmer will walk at the end of this year...and he fears he'll end up on a crippled team, with no chance to make the playoffs.
