Im more curious as to why Fitz felt the need to volunteer this information.


Whys it matter? Its just strange to me.




They say it wouldve changed the landscape of the NFL, and it would have, but not necessarily how you think. Eagles, yearly SB contenders? No.

From first hand experience, its not easy having a 100M dollar WR on your team. With Fitz, they wouldnt be able to afford half their current roster.

I've seen several writers and fans talk about this but here we are with arguably the best roster we've ever had in Arizona with several of our key players locked up for years. Something just doesn't fit here.

Smart drafting.

We do more with less, arguably moreso than any other NFL team. We also lock up guys long term. Not many guys nowadays spend their entire career on 1 team. Adrian. Dock and Fitz. 3 perenial pro bowlers.

Thats the difference. We dont buy championship teams (Eagles), we build them (like the Pats). Its just taking us a little longer :)

I'd love it if we bought or built a championship team. But we haven't done either since 1947.

Theoretically (I'm not necessarily advocating he be traded):

I'd take 2 firsts, a mid round and a good lineman (ala Staley). Or, less in picks and a top-12 QB (for example's sake, a guy like Romo).

JMHO. Blast away.

Yeah, that's the MINIMUM I would take. But, like you, I am not advocating a trade.

Romo is so vastly underrated. It's unfortunate that he is on the circus that is the Dallas Cowboys. Put him on a team like the Ravens with their structure and defense and he is considered elite. Hell, put him on THIS Cardinals team and he leads them to the playoffs. If the Cardinals had a QB they'd be pushing for 10-11 wins. I'd even stretch it and say 12. The defense is that good. And Romo would make the offense so much better.

I agree about Romo.

I'd love it if we bought or built a championship team. But we haven't done either since 1947.

I am all about building and buying. If we're buying, tell me where to send a check.

We're a QB away. Thats better than alot of teams.

Look at the Packers, Patriots, Saints. They all have HOFr QBs yet are struggling. Whats their excuse? Figuring out what they need to get a ring is alot more difficult than figuring out what we need.

a QB.
