Doing Things "The Steelers Way"...

[Cheesebeef]

For years, we've been told the Cardinals have shifted their way of business to a Steelers model since that model works so well. Well, let's do a little comparison, shall we?

In two years since the Cardinals v. Steelers Super Bowl, the Steelers have 15-16 of 22 starters back from their Super Bowl team in 2009.

In two years since the Super Bowl, (assuming we lose Deuce and DRC - virtual certainties)... the Cardinals will have 5 of 22 starters from their Super Bowl team in 2009.

Can someone tell me how the Cardinals are doing ANYTHING LIKE THE STEELERS WITH OUR MODEL OF BUSINESS?!

You can't tell by the power run game and nasty defense?

And all those guys who are gone were easily replaceable and responsible for giving up 90 points in 2 playoff games the next season so it was good riddance and addition by subtraction and if Warner hadn't retired the Cards would have won the SB last year with the new guys.

Stupid Warner.

Don't forget that none of them wanted to be or liked being Cardinals.
