Long live Whiz

[TJ]

Impact players?.....Not one of those players is an impact player. They may get playing time, but that is because that is what we have. I can't believe that you actually threw in Campbell, Keith, and Branch. You mentioned more names on the verge of official bust status than actual impact players.

I said Breaston, Hightower, and Hyphen were decent as late round grabs. Congrats Whiz. Now show me anyone he has drafted in rounds 1-3 that is a perennial Pro Bowl player. I can name plenty from previous regimes all the way back to Stallings. Whisenhunt's drafts have been atrocious.

I notice you conveniently left out Whisenhunt's free agent acquisitions. I'm sure the next post will point to the impact of Porter, Anderson, Faneca, and McFadden. Those four moves are already Cardinals lore.

DRC not an impact player? Hyphen not doing anything? Breaston? Hightower? Dude come on. You honestly have no clue do you. How clear do I have to make this before you understand how insane your assertions are?

As for free agents. I agree this well is dry; however, this is more of an indictment on the front office than on Whis. Graves has been notorious for going after only bargain bin free agents and not getting the top guy in the class, like an Albert Haynesworth type (not that I wanted him). It hurts the organization that they dont even consider guys like this. So in a sense, discussing that is non sequitur. All Ill say is I wont cry if Graves is cut loose, but that's merely a pipe dream.

Like any coach, fans are going to question play calling. But are we any better at this? No. It is a percentage game based on situation. Also, Whis gives his QBs autonomy at the line to change plays based on defensive set up.

Moreover, I know you want more runs than pass, but do you realize that because we are down so often that we cant really run as often?

As for Green's players. What do you mean? Rolle was easily replaced. Dansby's replacement will take the rest of the season to develop (D. Washington). Q was a McGinnis guy but that situation never worked out financially. So Green brought in players, but could he coach them up? No. He was able to make the most of them. For example, moving a struggling Rolle to FS. He changed a 1st round bust into a good safety.

And Ill just end on this: it is easy to throw a coach under the bus when he is down. Of course, no one was mitigating his coaching skills the previous three seasons. Whis is not a bad coach. He is a top 10 coach in this league and is still heralded as one. We are just having a bad season as a team. If/when losing becomes pathological, this is when we turn the nob on the stove on his career.

You're absolutely correct. I wouldn't worry about what some of these skulls full of mush think.

Well I don't worry about what the coaches think either. I'll most likely still be here long after they are gone.

But that doesn't make Sundays any more fun when the Cards get smoked every week. Well at least this Sunday won't be bad.
