11. Arizona Cardinals
Final Score: 59.5

Believe it! These are not your father's Cardinals or even your older brother's squad! Team president Michael Bidwill has made his presence felt in the organization and community. A grade of "5.5" is pretty strong for ownership considering the franchise history. Arizona always does an excellent job in the draft and the club is loaded with Pro Bowl players, which is why Rod Graves and company got an 8.5. The stadium is beautiful, which helped for intangibles. Ken Whisenhunt has put his stamp on the ball club. I scored Zona an "8' for quarterback and "9.5" for offense. Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin are studs.

He put us as the 5th best team in the NFC and .5 a point a head of the Cowboys. If it falls like that in the season, we win the NFC West again, with the Giants at home in the first round.

Cards have really turned it around...

they will be a playoff contender for a long time as long as the FO doesn't shake up things in the immidiate future

Of course if they could spell "Bidwill" correctly I would think that would be an even larger sign of respect.

True, but just a few years ago we might have even been below the Lions. What a turnaround!!

Bah, it is not a spelling bee.

Heck, most of us screw that up.


I like getting kudos from Mr. Schien. His NFL talk show was the only one I could ever listen to.

When Solomon Wilcox, and Adam Schein are at the helm of NFL Afternoon Blitz it is NFL talk show gold.

Gollin's "Rule of Threes"

1. Is an occurance.

2. Is a positive sign.

3. Three is a pattern.

We're still at #1. Wouldn't it be nice if the Cards really have turned around? But I'm inclined to want to wait another year or two before exhaling.

In the disrespect column, we have CNN SI putting a story about the Lions under the Cards heading at the bottom of the page....sheesh

I concur Jeff. Having been around this team longer than most I need more proof. It takes years to build a reputation like the Cowboys, Pittsburgh, Skins. Only in recent years is New England and the Colts beginning to be recognized for their accomplishments.

if we win the NFC West, then we'll get a home game in the playoffs.

Glad to see someone is giving the Cards respect.
