Kyler vs other Cardinals passers

[vince56]

I thought this was pretty interesting when I saw it today. Compared in the top 10 of Cardinals passers, Kyler has the:

Highest completion percentage (66.7%)
Top 4, soon to be top 3 for TDs (105), though it feels like this number is including rushing TDs.
#1 in QB rating, above Kurt Warner and Carson Palmer.
The lowest INT % at 2.0. Look at Plummer and Hart both over double that, yikes.
He lags behind Kurt, Carson, Neil Lomax, and Charley Johnson in yards/attempt.
In the next couple of games he’ll cross Jake for #3 in career yards.

There’s quite a bit to cheer for here, and it feels like he finally has a regime that will maximize his abilities. Now if only we could staff up the defense a little and turn that win category positive.

This list is more sad than anything.

This list is more sad than anything.

Our top 10 includes Josh McCown. Incredible.

Neil Lomax was really fun to watch in the 80's, if only the OL was better & those teams had a good defense, what could've been.

10-15 would be something to see.

Hart’s numbers are God awful. Why did they keep him for so long?

Here’s 11-30something. Lots of names you’ll recognize.

Its worse than I thought.

Some absolute trash on that list.

I liked Beuerlein and thought what Buddy did to him in the press was crazy stupid. That 1994 team was an absolute mess with Buddy running the show.

Hart’s numbers are God awful. Why did they keep him for so long?

Jim Hart was good in the early 70's under Don Coryell. Unfortunately for him, our brilliant owner at the time fired Don Coryell. & hired a college coach in 1978 who had been retired from coaching since 1963. Bud Wilkinson lasted only 2 years until Mr B gave him the axe, the Cardinals were horrible in those 2 years.

A comment that may interest only me. I have an Etcheverry jersey.

Hart’s numbers are God awful. Why did they keep him for so long?

For his time he wasn't a bad passer. The top QB in his era rarely hit 60% of their passes. They were all of in the fifties percent area. Now even the 32 ranked QB (Will Levis) last year hit over 60% of his passes.

oof, I think only the Browns can produce an uglier list. That list is rough. Leinart at 12 and Rosen almost cracking the top 25!

Hart’s numbers are God awful. Why did they keep him for so long?

Totally different era. He wasn't great but he was good enough back then to win, the problem was always the defense.

Hart was great in the 4th quarter too we truly were the Cardiac Cards then.

If you look at Jim Bakken's numbers you would think the same thing but he was one of the best kickers in the league at the time

I have a friend that's related to his family. He had the jersey made as a gift.

the nfl put a crap ton of work into making that true. I would love to see Marino or Plunkett or Montana,..in their prime,...playing by todays rules.
Joe might complete 90 Percent
Marino would surely surpass 7000 yards in a season

If we could have put Josh McCown's heart into Matt Leinart's body, we would have won three superbowls.

I loved that kid to death.
