This has gotten annoying. Why all the complaining about how we aren’t signing all of these free agents. Have you been paying attention to how the Cardinals have done things in the 2 years Whiz has been at the helm? I don’t think many of you have. Here is a list of most of the free agents we have gotten since Whiz was named head coach:
Sean Morey
Rod Hood
Al Johnson
Terrelle Smith
Chris Cooper
Mike Gandy
Ross Kolodziej
Troy Bienemann
Qasim Mitchell
Ahmad Merritt
Oliver Celestin
Matt Stewart
Bryan Robinson
Chris Vincent
Brian St. Pierre
Travis LaBoy
Jeremy Tuman

Quite a star studded roster. So quit your belly aching. We have done things a certain way and it took us to a Super Bowl. I trust Whiz.

Patience is a virtue...those teams running after what they think is top notch talent is usually a waste of time and backs them in a corner down the road when they have to pay their better talent

Not even close to annoying, in fact its the tamest it has been since the board started long ago. You must not have been here the last few years or longer because the comlaining is very mellow for this time of year. There is like 2 threads total on the thread page complaining about not signing anyone. Past years 9 out of ten of them would be complaint threads.

What is worse the small amount of complainers or the complainers that want to complain about the complainers. Who's on first? We need an Abbott and Costello smiley.

Every year someone complains about how the board is worse than it used to be.

Only decent signings.

Laboy underachieved, Robinson overachieved.

What about Jerheme Urhban or whatever. Pretty good signing. The other ones were cheap so who cares. Haggans was an okay signing as well.

He has a cannon and is well liked by Whiz.....

Thats because all the complainers could focus on the last few weeks was Warner and remember he was a free agent too.

I also trust Whiz but it is Graves who is doing the drafting. He did good last year but was that the new Graves or the old Graves getting lucky?

Graves might be the one that writes the name on the card, but it is highly unlikely that he will draft someone Whiz doesn't approve of. Graves has been "doing the drafting" for years now, but there is a clear difference in the type of player drafted from Denny Green to Whiz. Denny would not have taken Levi, or traded up for Branch, but also likely wouldn't have pursued DRC because he came from a small school. So attribute it to Graves all you want the evidence supports the contrary.

I am going to have to complain about this complaint yet again.

So, this time I have a complaint about the fact I have already complained about your complaint about the complainers who are a complaining about the complainers that are complaining about the lack of free agents. Any complaints about that ?
