OJ Anderson is right there, though it's tough to differentiate all the great players (that guy is # 11, and not top ten??). My take would be to list ALL the POSSIBLE TOP TEN, and then have the fans vote.

YES!!! A poll.

Jeopardy question: What are the ten worst quarterbacks to play for the Arizona Cardinals?


Roger Wehrli has to included in the list of the top 10. The guy is a HOFer.

From that same great o-line with Dierdorf you've got Tom Banks and Conrad Dobler. Banks was a multiple ProBowler and I think he was All Pro at least once.

That's 11 but I couldn't find one I'd leave off

Suck it up, you have to leave off Fitz or Boldin... in other words Q has to go. I'm a huge fan of Roy Green but for the top ten Fitz takes him lol

In No particular order
1. Larry Fitzgerald

3. Jackie Smith
4. Roger Werhli
5. Larry Wilson
6. Charlie Trippi
7. Dan Dierdorf
8. Anneas Williams
9. Ollie Matson
10. Adrian Wilson

Sorry, we love A-dub but as a player on the field he has to go for someone like Warner... Warner took us to the Super Bowl :)

Yep! If Warner ain't on that list, there's not a list IMO. He raised the bar from black eyed peas to poker chips! What he did in 2 1/2 yrs in Arizona was almost god like...without him we would be same ol same ol ;)

Yessir my man. Wolfman was like comparing hall of fame to hall of good!!! And yes, Banks was the Wolfman if I ever saw one

Could have swore Adrian Wilson was on that team, and 51 other players besides Warner and himself.

I'd also say Lomax deserves consideration but everyone hates that era because the team fell apart over drugs(not Lomax).

Hell EJ Junior too but he was involved with drugs so people tend to leave him off.

Speaking of linemen: Ken Gray OG from San Saba Texas played 12 years for the Cardinals.

6 pro bowls and 2 times 1st team All-Pro. Of course there were only 14 teams then. :)

I thought about Warner but I went for longevity with the team. All the players I have on my list were with the team longer than Warner was. Not sure about Matson's years on the team but he is a HOF.

Warner played for five years with the Cardinals and took the team to it's only Super Bowl in the modern era. For me I think it is impossible to leave him off, Gayle Sayers only played seven years (the last years marred with injury) for the Bears but it would be hard to leave him off their list. In comparison, it would be easier to leave Sayers off the Bear's list than Warner because the goal of a player is to win and even though it was not Sayer's fault... those Bear teams did not win much and Warner holds stats in the post season which where impressive as a Cardinal. I guess excellence can be viewed in terms of quality and longevity but again for me Warner's grade of quality is too high

Hey Charley Johnson is the only one of the top STL/ARZ Cardinal QBs: CJ, Hart, Lomax, Plummer, and Warner, with a winning record as the Cardinals starting QB. :D

Now how Charley ended up in the Bronco's Ring of Fame I have no idea.

Im looking at these lists and even though Jet Stream is my favorite Cardinal, Terry Metcalf is without a doubt the most exciting Cardinal ever
