Keep in mind, that there is a right way and wrong way to criticize the team. The culture of this board is averse to the pat arguments you hear from the average "fan." Complain that the Cards will always suck as long as the "Bidwells" own the team, and you'll get flamed. Complain about the D not being able to keep outside contain and you'll get kudos.
I actually see some signs of improvement over the last few years, even though the record doesn't show it.
After all, management is re-signing some of the better players, see Anquan Boldin, Darnell Dockett, and Adrian Wilson. The team did refurbish the weight room. They are working harder, losing weight, participating fully in the off-season program, buying into the Whiz program.
But until the Cardinals start drafting better, stop commiting stupid penalties in the red zone, stop beating themselves, yadda, yadda, yadda, I reserve the right to lambast them.
The more I see and hear about the Whiz, the better I feel. But if this team isn't at least a 500 team in 2008, I'll be very disappointed.
