Fan Fest

[SweetD]

I asked my brother about it (he was sitting next to me on the 50 yard line) and he said, "What boos?" He didn't even hear them.

It real quick and it was just for the bad throw and that was it. Nothing like the cheers when Larry caught the pass in the end zone and the catch Floyd had in the endzone.

Who threw both of those passes?

 

[SweetD]

I think it was Kolb to Fitz but it was a short route with no def. John threw the bomb to Floyd on a right sideline streek w/Def

The dude is overthrowing guys, putting balls on the ground, getting swatted down, getting picked during a walkthorugh with zero defense.

Thats impressive bad.

"But its June!"

Kolb has been playing football for 20 years. I didnt realize a few months off can *** you up so much that he looks like hes never played in his life.

I didn't realize some bad throws at Fan Fest means you suck. I am far from a Kolb fan but he missed a large part of last season with injury. I will judge him by his preseason games. I am hopeful but hardly confident.

The Kolb excuse book just got heavier. Hadn't thought about that one.

Come on Kevin Dufner, get up off your fat wallet, and prove me wrong.

You know what bothers me? People who say our fans suck because they don't go to games, or because they sell their tickets, or because there are more Bears/Cowpukes/Niners/Pittsburgh fans in our stands than Cardinals fans and then when the fans do show up and show some emotion, some actual caring, some actual passion, those same people make snide remarks about the booing or the criticisms or the analysis.

Those same people are the ones whining because we don't get recognition by the major broadcasts and complain when teams like Philly or Denver or Pittsburgh do and the only difference between those teams and ours is the fans passion. It's pure, it's simple, and it's freaking obvious. Fan Passion. They sell more stupid bobbleheads, more jersey's, more air-time-commercials, more cards, more tickets. Their season tickets are sold out for decades; I could call now and get season tickets for next year. It's all about fan frenzy and fan passion. And to come on here and whine because a few fans boo during a practice or analyse a practice. The true fans are the ones who went and cheered or boo'd, not the people sitting here criticizing them. The problem isn't them, it's you, you're part of the problem, sitting on your ass and saying let's see what happens in the regular season or let's see if they make the playoffs. That's precisely the problem. It shows a serious I-could-give-a-sh*t attitude.

Yeah, it's a long drive, it was a long drive for them too. Yep, they probably woke up at 4 am to go to work too, so they could leave early and go see the practice. No excuses.

I'd rather see 15k fans booing than an empty stadium. I watched games at SDS for years, since they arrived, and there was very little booing, very little anything, because our team was so pathetic we expected bad sh*t to happen. Expected it.

This post wasn't aimed at anyone in particular, it was aimed at a whole bunch of folks who think sitting on their ass qualifies them to render judgement over someone who actually went to see the players work and practice. Passionate fans go to see practice. We are so unused to it that they didn't even have a disciplined entry line, ran out of drinks, and had no organization whatsoever. To me, that's a great sign, because we're obviously learning to be a true football town. But don't sit there and tell me that it doesn't matter, if it didn't matter they wouldn't do it. Ya'll sound like Allen Iverson about practice.

More like fans who don't care who wins or loses as long as they can go to the game cheer for the Cards and harass fans of the other team. The latter being the most important.

Like this?


Fans like that are pathetic. But there's a difference between apathy and anger or just outright mean-ness.

I don't think we have many mean fans on this board, really don't. Unfortunately I think many of our fans are apathetic. I'm not necessarily talking about this board, but AZ fans in general: they sit and watch, but they're not buying jersey's and going to games and supporting the team. Practices are important, intrinsically, but fan-fest gives the team some metrics to work with in regards to fan participation and fervor and so it's even more important.

And it does matter, every practice does, with or without fans watching. It's actually amusing to me to hear how worthless some armchair-fans say "fan-fest" was because I think Whisenhunt would say something entirely different. He actually said it was sort-of a let-down on Thursday because of their practice on Wednesday in front of fans and that he had to regain their focus. This team loves performing in front of us.

Well I am not getting excited about a Fan Fest practice. The fact he was out with an injury last year is a fact not an excuse. I have not been impressed with the guy at all but to get this excited after some poor throws at a practice is silly. The preseason games will tell us if we are in big trouble this season at QB.

Maybe, but I'll never forget Coach Whisenhunt turning to one of the assistants during the Atlanta game in 2008 and saying "Man this place is loud".

TJ and Gee are my boys but lets stop worrying about Kolb and how its embarassing the fans of the team.

Kolb is embarassing the team.

This clown has an entire offseason to become more accurate and show his improvement and hes the worst QB in a freaking 7 on 7 practice. Whats he going to do when live bullets are flying?

Screw this guy. Hes made 13 million off of this franchise for absolutely nothing so far. He should be booed until further notice.

Get your act together Kolb or go be a back up in Cleveland. I am tired of supporting underachieving Quarterbacks. And yes I am not looking too much into this. How this guy looks "skittish" and inaccurate in a made up pocket where no one is touching him is beyond me.

Quit babying the multi millionaire athlete. Get your act together or get out of town simple.

The parallels between Leinart and Kolb are making me sick to my stomach.....

holy cow... who hacked in the AZ's account?!
