12 (8) Cardinals 10-6-0 The Cardinals will relish being overlooked if people assume the 49ers will overtake them now that Kurt Warner has retired. (Sando)

Yes, yes, they're meaningless.

Im wondering why the packers are so high. Last i checked, their defense was worse than ours in the playoffs

Packers still have their QB that went toe-to-toe with Kurt Warner and just barely lost. Aaron Rodgers is an excellent quarterback and they have a very good offense.

We deserve a lower ranking IMO.

We lost a borderline hall of fame receiver, a hall of fame QB, a good LB, and a decent free safety. If it had be spread over the period of a couple months it wouldn't seem as bad, but instead it was spread over the course of a couple of weeks which magnified the situation to the National media.

If our new additions play like we think they can, this rating will be low and we'll win another NFC West crown.

Definitely should have a lower ranking.

I was pretty surprised to see us at 12. I also think the Lions should be higher than 2nd to last, they have made some fantastic moves this offseason.

If you dislike the '12' spot, don't look at the Fox Post-draft rankings.

This is the best I have seen us ranked. The highest before this was #23. Everywhere else seems to have us from 25-28.

I don't think 12 is too high at all, and in fact this is the respect that so many of you crave.

The bottom line is to be a consistent winner in the NFL, the most important thing to have is a great QB # 1 and the 2nd most important is a great Head Coach.

And we certainly have one of the top coaches. And other then the question marks at QB we have a solid team everywhere else.

I don't think many of you are giving Cards enough credit. We should be in it to the end in the NFC West and the presumed NFCW winner should be right in that range IMO.

I agree with this post. We have a good team, good coach, and an unknow factor at QB, which is the most important position on the team. We will go as high or as low as Matt can take us.

you know that the next two years will tell me:

whether the Cardinals have a good program, or if they just happened to have two good teams in 08 and 09.

BTW: I don't see going 7-9 as indicating the program is not good -- even top notch programs will dip for a year from time to time and then come back. But if they do go 7-9, a good program will identify the weaknesses, fix them and return to playoff contention.

We will see.

They still have us as the best team in the division. I'm ok with that.
