Dan, I'm very glad to see that you are getting piled on by AZ Cards fans. Yeah, surprised that we actually do exist, huh?
And you deserve the pile on, because your negativity has reached critical mass, where you can't even commend the team for improving.
Why don't these Cards deserve the benefit of the doubt? Last year they won more games, lost by fewer points, and had a top 15 ranked defense. This is with a QB who couldn't find an open receiver if you took the opposing defense off the field. Two years ago, in the Macezoian era, we saw "One Heartbeat" get half a hundred hung on them on the road. Funny, but last year I don't recall seeing the team used like a roll of toilet paper. I also saw free agents and draft picks come in and play solid, exciting football. And now I see that continuing in the off season with the free agent signings thus far, and with the players we are likely to draft at the CB and RB spots next month. So yeah, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. They aren't winning a Super Bowl, but this is a potential playoff team that looks to have a good shot at winning the NFC West.
You are whining about Warner, but fail to admit that Warner in NY had similar numbers to McCown in AZ, with a worse Oline and receivers that couldn't catch a cold. You also fail to mention that Denny has a long, long history of resurrecting "washed up" quarterbacks. Perhaps this is because he is not chummy with the media and doesn't really give a crap if you are on his side, but you really should try mentioning all factors involved with the signing, and not just the ones that support your glass-half-empty point of view.
Dan, you aren't getting piled on simply because you like to Cardinal bash; you are getting called out because your false "objectivity" is really transparent. I'd have a lot more respect for you if you simply came out and said you want to bash the team, and didn't give this air of objective comments. You are about as objective as Bill O'Reilly is "fair & balanced."
Thankfully people like Todd McFarlane aren't sipping the old red Mac/Kendall/McCown Kool-Aid like you guys are. These days, the Kool-Aid is the new fancy kind...you know, it looks Green in the pitcher, but tastes like Cardinal Red. Thank God for Green Kool-Aid.
