Well, the fact that the pundits spent 60% of so of the podcast on Kurt and his potential retirement shows how important that decision is to the team's future.
Personally I think this team has one final window of opportunity in 2010 if he comes back and they address the defense in the draft and keep Q for a final year. With San Francisco on the rise, and the Seahawks probably a year away from serious contention, the Cardinals last best opportunity for post-season glory in the immediate future may be the 2010 campaign IMO.
If Kurt retires, it is time to reload and tailor the offense more to Matt Leinart.
Interesting note about $5 million in salary money available with the probable departure of Mike Gandy. That will come in handy to address the contract situations of Q, Antrel, and possibly Dockett.
