Brain Starting to Regret

[AZ Shocker]

I'm guessing that you don't regret buying season tickets because the Cards haven't signed Leinart yet; I'm guessing that you believe that the failure to sign our QBOF so far means -- it's the same old Cardinals.

Exactly. Thanks for hearing what I'm saying.

New stadium, new RB, new hope, all diminished by the same old ownership and their desire for the team to be in profit before the first ball is snapped. No matter what.

Yep.

In the last couple of years, the team has done some good things: They signed and then resigned Warner. They paid Fitz his coin and gave Wilson his contract. They opened the cash register to give Edge his money. They reworked Boldin's contract.

Couldn't agree more. Nice work by the Cards brass!

Leinart will get signed...for less $ than he wants, for more $ than the Cards want to spend. He'll get signed.

Great relationship they've established. I'm sure he be more than happy to stay a Cardinal after the first contract expires. Hello new LA team.

You'll probably disagree but I think Warner can get us to the play-offs. He took a beating last year and managed to play a lot of football, anyway.

Agree. He can do it, but the line probably can not. Hopefully Loney can work a miracle.

In all fairness, I think the Cardinals have been doing a remarkable job the last few years in the pesonnel/contract situations. Perhaps I should look at it this way and remind myself...

1. Bill Bidwill is not Paul Allen or the dude from the Redskins.

2. We do have some serious "super stars" with mega contracts on this team. I mean how much money is or has been paid in signing bonuses over the last few years. Paying Warner, Boldin, Fitz, Edge, Rolle, Big isn't cheap.

3. Cards have never "banked it" from ticket sales, parking or concessions thus increasing their cash flow.

I'll cut 'em some slack after hearing on the news tonight that the Cards have offered a 15 million signing bonus and 6 years.

Man, I wish it were not true, but this hold-out and available cap space has my sails losing wind fast. All the momentum of the new stadium, a huge free agent acquisition, and a great draft had me believing. Yep...I bought season tickets for the first time. And here we go again...Leinart not signed.

We showed the Cardinals our support by selling out the freakin' stadium for every freakin' game this year, and they still can't capitalize on that momentum to bring in the qb of the future. What a travesty this franchise is. 15 years I've given my emotional support. This year I decide to lay down the dough. Regret? I hope not!

Note: I bought tickets before we got Edge and before the drafting of Leinart. My belief was that with the Cardinals new stadium and recent contract deals the last few years...that the Cardinals were going to start behaving like a real NFL team. So far it looks like a false hope on my part.

I'll give you 120% of what you paid for your season tickets right now if you want to bail.
