Is it just me or has our success made the offseason more boring than it ever has been? I feel like there is very little to discuss when it comes to our team.

I do not think that is the case. This is usually the time where all of football and particularly this board is extremely quiet.

I would also add that "message boards" are not exactly trending up as well.

But, no matter, this board is still pretty damn good, and it still a good place to get a lot of Cardinals news.

The end of July will be here before you know it, and with it will be heated debates about 4th string running backs, and who is going to be the right tackle next season.

Furthermore, I do not think there is less to talk about when it comes to the fact the team is great. At this point in the offseason your team pretty much is what it is.

I remember a few years back, that I knew our offensive line was going to be horrible in the month of March of that year. Unfortunately, I was right, and you know what? All the talk in the world wasn't going to change the fact they were going to suck. Yeah, it helped to talk about it on this message board to feel a little bit better about it, but still, they sucked.

Thus I see no difference, other than this current team has the potential to be good.

Oh I still love it here, I just find myself in P&R all day because there is nothing footballwise to talk about :)

I certainly don't miss the days of holdouts and QB controversies :)

AP ?


BTW, Iceman, I am NOT knocking the board what so ever, just making and observation.

This place kicks butt, thanks for keeping it going.

I don't think so considering we've got a helluva team & it just added a legit sackman on the edge to improve their #1 weakness!!!

In fact I'm pumped for some Big Red :newcards: football which is only 42 Kwammie Lassiter days away lol

It feels this way a bit too me as well. Not sure why but my guess is that I'm not concerned about this team being good, I feel that's a given and actually think we will be great.

Very much looking forward to All or Nothing.

Yeah, that was what so much of past offseasons were all about. I guess becoming a competent franchise means less drama in the offseason. That's okay with me.

The only thing going on for the next month in the entire NFL will be the occasional contract extension and guys getting busted. The first kind of news would be fine with me, but the second we all don't need going into this season.

+1

The hold out game really bugged me and I'm so glad they finally addressed it.

The QB discussions, Josh McCown, Kolb, Warner and Matt had so many threads and seemed to go on forever.

Leinart vs. Warner, yeah that was the good stuff.

I watched this off season with the same interest that I have watched all of them since Michael hired Keim and Arians. I am still very impressed with the effort and detail that this management team goes to as they go about setting up a roster. I am very happy with the results of this off season's acquisitions just as I was with the previous ones. I know that there are likely a couple of changes coming as we near training camp and the regular season. I am giddy with excitement about this upcoming season. I am super impressed with the value that they accrue as they spend their dollars. I think they get more bang for the buck than any roster in the league. I believe this team is poised to become a Super Bowl contender for a goodly number of seasons so long as this management team remains in control. Co Cards!

Thanks! Its fun to be a part of this anyways. You members are the reason it is going. The "AP" item I was referring to is the "Adrian Peterson Wants to be a Cardinal" thread from the offseason last year. It kept everyone on the site to see if there was anything new about him coming here

Sure was, but with David Johnson and CJ doing what they did last year, I'm glad it didn't. Still would have been nice to see him here though.

normally around this time of year we are stressing over who will be the second free agent we sign..... or why are none of our draft picks under contract yet..... we can no longer spend the off season bemoaning how terrible we are going to be due to the lack of intellect or motivation in the front office (we really spent a lot of time on that before)....

IMO, finally being a legit contender has indeed made the off season just a bit more dull than it has been for the past few decades..... but we needed the break from all of that,...and it has made the season so much better...wins,...primetime games,...wins,...playoffs,...more wins....damn... it is a great time to be a Cardinal fan.

pretty much this, we are so good now that the offseason is very boring but the real season is much better! I am just trying to get used to the real season being more fun than the offseason.

I also think the off-season is so boring because we're all pretty much in agreement on almost everything with the team. Everyone is a little leery of our CB depth, RT depth and would love to see Freeney signed, sealed and delivered by now.... but with everyone in agreement about all those things, there's not much to talk about. Otherwise, we're seemingly as loaded as we've ever been.

guess it is about time to start dragging out all of the old "Let's change the uniform" and "lets change the logo" threads...... those usually start some nice mischief

The black uniforms need red numbers. Maybe a red helmet too
