which of the following best describes or is most like us. See Poll of course.
I’m all for losing meaningless games if it means that I can enjoy a decade or two of HOF QB play. I still have nightmares knowing that Peyton Manning should have been a Cardinal.
we used to debate that subject pretty often back then. Billy Bidwill takes lots of flack for all of that... but Phoenix screwed him pretty bad,... then ASU followed suit and screwed him again.To me we seem to always be just a couple players away. That is just in the 2000's. Before that it was pure ownership that kept this team from winning.
We owned the first pick going into the last game of the season. Had we lost to Atlanta, we had the 1st pick. Knowing the Cardinals, they somehow would have drafted Ryan Leaf instead of Peyton.Indy tried to make that happen they won 2 out of their last 3, but IIRC 2 by the last game of the year they already had the first pick sewn up, and our win against ATL didn't matter.
Knowing us, we would have taken Leaf.I’m all for losing meaningless games if it means that I can enjoy a decade or two of HOF QB play. I still have nightmares knowing that Peyton Manning should have been a Cardinal.
Not cheap? He is famously known for saying that he didn't want to win a Super Bowl because he would have to pay his players more. In Conrad Dobler's book, he said that on a flight home from a road game, the players were given subs to eat and that Bill probably took the leftovers home to his family. So, yeah, the guy was an extreme cheapskate.we used to debate that subject pretty often back then.

Bill wasn't cheap... he just didnt have a lot of cash flow to work with. Its amazing how quickly the team changed once they got the stadium Phoenix promised him while they were still in st louis
