I'm not going to argue with your feelings, but that team was talented. How far do you get down this list before you can confidently say that a member of the 2023 Arizona Cardinals is better than them:
Larry Fitzgerald
Chandler Jones
Patrick Peterson
Budda Baker
Mike Iupati
D.J. Humphries
Christian Kirk
Markus Golden
That was a medicore team handicapped by a terrible QB situation and bad coaching.
For me, this could be the least-talented Arizona Cardinals team I've seen since 2003. Actually, this team looks a lot like that one on both sides of the ball.
Well QB and coaching mean a lot more than having a few talented position players and that season proved it. Especially coaching. You could tell a little over half way through the season the players, the coaches, and the media all did not want to even do their job anymore, they just wanted the season over.
It felt like a punishment to have to watch those games.
If you look at the Patriots the last several years their roster has completely sucked, yet Bellicheck somehow has made them near a .500 team.
I feel like from the preseason alone this coaching staff is going to keep us competitive with a subpar roster in many games where we shouldn't be. We will still most likely lose almost all of them, but I really have a feeling this team is going to be better than most on this board are thinking.
