I hope Kyler is saving his best for the season because he sucked yesterday. Multiple picks. Multiple overthrows. Ugly.
If we're without our top 4 targets then I dont expect much different

yeah. I’m about to leave Phoenix after being here for three months. I soaked up every single bit of Suns coverage I could during the playoffs and in the days and now weeks after, even driving around once a day for about an hour just to listen to talk radio.

whenever the talk turns to the Cardinals, I pretty much mentally check out. Even change the channel. Haven’t read a single article about them in the paper once in three months. I think last year’s ugly bottom out in the second half dulled my confidence in KK and that general feeling only doubled down after watching us make a host of off-season pickups that I’m very dubious of.

Year 1 of this experiment I went in with zero expectations but wildly curious to see what the hell KK was gonna be like and very excited to see what K1 was going to be like.

Year 2, after what I thought was a great off-season, I was SUPER bullish on our prospects, even going so far to predict us a dark horse to WIN the Super Bowl.

year 3... who REALLY hoping the team turns that pilot light in for me. I LIVE for football season. Last time I felt like this was the last time I heard the rallying cry of ALL IN. It was Arians’ last year, I thought it was pretty clear that we did NOT go all in and we were staring 8-8 in the face. That’s exactly what we got and I just have that same feeling going into this season.

I think this team is substantially more talented than Arians last season at pretty much every position.

QB? Absolutely.
RB? YESH! David Johnson was hurt
WR? Absolutely. That team only had Fitz.
TE? About the same, though I'd argue a healthy Maxx is better.
OL? Way better.

DL? Not even close. That teams best lineman was probably Frosted.
LB? Way more talented.
CB? Depth is better, but Peterson was still a CB1.
S? Probably about the same.
Specialists? Prater is an all time great.

I have a really good feeling that our defense is going to surprise many and exceed most expectations this season. Yes I know it’s too early for this kind of kool aid talk on this particular forum, but I can’t help it :)

Playing in a much tougher division.

No Hopkins, Kirk, Green or Moore might stop the ball being completed. It doesn't stop it being on target.

Agree, but backups could’ve been running wrong or sloppy routes, just sayin :)

Maybe on the INT's (although it didn't look that way) but not on several overthrows in the RZ that nobody on any route could ever catch.

You mean nonsense and BS like not going to the playoffs in half a decade? Or our head coach’s abysmal record at every level of the sport?
No I mean the negative nonsense and BS that certain people constantly advance before a single game is played this season. It's like they want the team to fail so they can pontificate and stand there and whine " I told you so " . What good does it do ? If a person is that miserable they need to find something else to do.

I personally would like to discuss my team whether good or bad. If I wanted nothing but “we’re going to be great this year,” I would just read azcardinals.com stories.

I prefer to wait until they play the games to criticize because until then there is nothing to criticize. The team is currently 0-0. Maybe they will be good. Maybe they will be bad. The proof of the pudding is in the eating

I've been watching this team since 1973. Past history hasn't been good, in fact very bad. But that is in the past. It's a new year and until the results start to come in I won't criticize
