Derek Anderson: “The Cards were More Dysfunctional than the Browns”

[PACardsFan]

Bucket list item is a hole in 1. Closest I ever got on a Par 3 about 150 is maybe 5 inches. Now I consider myself happy if I can even hit the green.

Another random fact. I also want to bowl a perfect game. My closest was 269 with 9 strikes in a row to start the game. Now I'm lucky to bowl a 200.

Fyi, I also have a 300 bowling game. My wife keeps telling me to quit both sports, but I won’t .

I want to be able to dunk a basketball again, but I'm 60 now. Not. Gonna. Happen.

Sorry, I just see Derek laughing on the bench while losing horribly, Who cares what the a$$wipe thinks?

You and Kyler have that in common. (Probably)

Said the guy laughing on sidelines during a blowout loss..

If every other NFL team is doing this, I'd love to hear your rationale for the Cards choosing NOT to do it.

Seems pretty stupid to be the only one not providing a perk!

They probably should, but at the same time, I have no idea when every team switched to this "infinite food" policy people seem to think they should have. I'm assuming every team hasn't offered that, so at one point did it become league majority?

There's a lot of reasons this team needed to go outside of the organization for their hires though. We've been in desperate need of new eyes.

I don't disagree with any of the comments made about Anderson however the reality is he is right about the team at that point in time when he was a Cardinal and the rankings seem to indicate that it hasn't gotten much better since then..

What was his one trick? It must not have been very good.

I will never forget when he threw his first pass of a game 50mph into the rectum of one of our rb’s who was 6 yards away.

 

[Sandan]

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Should I gather something about the Rams based on the fact they're at the bottom?

Anderson criticized the Cards for operating unlike other NFL teams, including the dregs.

Arizona Cardinals Report Card 2024

Calling it old news or acting like it's a relic of BB shows a complete ignorance to our current plight. If you really need the gory details again, here they are: https://nflpa.com/arizona-cardinals-report-card

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Have you even considered that part of the reason for a total change in management might be part of the process to update the facilities.

also IRRC, weren't the new facilities rated as very good at one point, if so it seems like they might now be in need of a revamp again maybe the new FO is part of that process.

This isn't the first time this was brought up on this board... but the guy was complete trash, so I don't know. It was very conveniently released right after that report was out about the player poll. I'm sure we were still charging for takeaway meals since that practice continued until recently, but I still haven't felt like we need to pay for players' food and drinks 24/7 when not practicing.

This is also a guy who took things so seriously that we were furious for him at laughing on the sidelines during big losses. He was awful.

I continue to marvel at peoole who don’t think this is important because they compare the players situation to normal life (“I still haven’t felt like we need to pay for players’ food and drinks”). It’s all relative. If all of the other teams do it and the cards don’t that makes them a trash organization in point of comparison on that item. Who cares if in the real world the complaint is trivial? They don’t live in the real world, they live in the nfl.

"We" as in the Cardinals. As fans. If I were posting on a general NFL forum I would say "the Cardinals."

Should Bidwill be doing whatever he can to keep his franchise competitive with others? Sure. Do I really care at all if multi-millionaires need to pay to take home a packed dinner from work? No. Especially not when they're players of Derek Anderson's caliber who should be counting his blessings he got paid $7.25 million by a professional team to be a starter when after his Cleveland stint he should have been paying for his own Gatorades and dinner on the way home from coaching a local high school football team.

These two things are entirely inter-related. If you care about the first comment then you automatically care about the second, even if you don’t want it to be the case.

Man, why in Gods name is anyone talking to Derek Freaking Anderson???

Now THIS is a good question.

beyond just player comfort or satisfaction (which is important) -- its a signal from ownership
