Max Hall will start!

[ajcardfan]

lol. normally i'd agree with you, but d.anderson wasn't taking us to the playoffs either.

Again, I wasn't expecting andersen to take us to the playoffs. But, starting a rookie at this point in the season tells even the dumbest guys on the team that this year has been written off.

Handing the reins over to a guy who was WORSE than Jamarcus Russell last year and backing him up with an UDFA rookie and a 5th rounder from Fordham...THAT is enough to tell guys in a coma that the year is written off.

The fact that it is almost numerically impossible for Hall to be worse than DA is the most amazing thing to me.

I may be the only non relative and non Mormon in the world to own him on their fantasy team (-: I just checked and the owner percentage is 0.1, Hasselbeck is 25.1.

Nope. I did the exact same thing in my league at 1:12 pm MST. Dropped Matt for Max. What time did you make this brilliant move?

 

[Redheart]

Note to Whiz,

Lots of screens
Rollout the QB, move the pocket, Hall has legs.

This!

 

[CtCardinals78]

I can't think of a better way to describe how much Anderson sucks, because being benched by an undrafted rookie is about as bad as it can get.

Well put!

I didn't know Max Hall was a elf.

Ha, True. Sadly, if we had Joe Montana at qb we'd still be in trouble with the current state of our defense. Seriously, it's just pathetic. It's not like we're getting beaten by flukey plays, these are long sustained drives that just suck the life out of a team.

The funniest thing about that interview is the dude from "thefan1060" holding up a non-wireless mic that is clearly not plugged in and therefore not doing anything which is why he's also holding a tape recorder against it.

lol, why hold the mic at all? Things getting a little thin over at the fan? Sorry that just made me laugh.

Sorry, AV nerd observation but there it is.

unfortunately i don't see this as a rebuilding year. i don't think an undersized undrafted rookie free agent is our qbof. and there just aren't that many youngsters being groomed on defense. unfortunately i just see this year as a waste. what development are we really going to see?

now THIS post can be targeted as not only OPINION, but perhaps negative. i'll take it. but it is my opinion that this season is, by and large, wasted. perhaps we'll develop some of these young wr's (if they stay healthy) and maybe toler, washington, and williams on defense. but those are the only positives i can see coming from this season.

hall? you'll excuse me if i'm not overly optimistic. how often does an undersized undrafted rookie free agent end up panning out as a star? it may happen, but the odds are stacked against it.

I agree....but I'm just happy to see Anderson on the bench.

Those ears? Looks like we will lose him as we get closer to Christmas. Will be due back at the North Pole soon.

To be fair, Joe Montana is 54 years old and has bad knees. That said, he's still better than DA and I would play him over Hall.

 

[cardpa]

Great something to watch.

Now how about Dan Williams?

No I don't think so I heard he is still 4 oz overweight so to the bench with him!

 

[Duckjake]

I'm not going to argue that this year is going to be a waste, but I will disagree that we aren't developing youngsters on D.

DRC: 24 yrs old
Toler: 25
Campbell: 24
Rashad Johnson: 24
Daryl Washington: 23
Dan Williams: 23
Will Davis: 24

Branch and Watson are only 25 and 27 respectively, as well. I think it's possible that we expected too much too soon from such a young unit.

Especially when you have 4 on defense at 30 or older (Wilson,Lenon,Haggens,Porter). We have Dockett and Rhodes who are prime NFL age and that's it. (Hard to believe though that Dockett is 29 )

Like I said, too many coming in and too many going out.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

When did he say DA has "it"

When he cut our starting QB and named him the starter of course. He went all-in with DA and missed. That much is undeniable.

We must not use "undeniable" the same way because I certainly consider your comments deniable. It's easy to argue that coach chose between the lesser of two evils rather than going all-in with DA as you state. And it wouldn't be hindsight on our parts to take that stance as many of us predicted early in preseason that Hall was likely to be named starter by or during the bye week.

Our starting QB was no longer our starting QB.

i'm not going to argue that young players cannot improve, but players that have been in the league 3 - 4 years should not be "developing" you should be able to rely on them. they may improve, but i reserve "rebuilding" for developing players with no experience into nfl-ready players. that takes DRC, campbell, davis (who i don't think is going to be anything, if he was we'd be seeing it instead of the aging retreads starting right now), branch and watson outta the equation imo. that only leaves williams, washington, johnson, and toler as "developing" as i see it.

if they hadn't figured that out by midway through the 1st quarter of the chargers game, then even the dumbest guys on the team are dumber than i thought (which is entirely possible).

That still doesn't mean he thinks DA "has it" only means he though he was a better option than Matt. Big difference.

I'm with you, although Campbell has only started for a year, DRC only slightly more than that. Campbell could just be going through a sophomore slump. It happens; look at Julius Peppers' second season. It doesn't let him off the hook.

I think that Will Davis could become a Clark Haggans type, but he's not going to be a game-changer.

 

[Duckjake]

Whisenhunt said the team has rallied around Anderson.

"A lot of it is how his teammates respond to him and the confidence they have in him when he goes into the huddle," Whisenhunt told reporters. "When he came out the other night and completed his first two passes on big plays, the guys rallied around him and that is what you like to see."

Not sure if this was posted in another Hall thread.

http://www.azcentral.com/sports/car...cardinals-max-hall-undrafted-quarterback.html

After an exhaustive search through the data bases at Pro-football-reference.com, it appears that Hall has moved into a starting role faster than any undrafted rookie quarterback since 1987, when a couple of Arizona State products named Jeff Van Raaphorst and Todd Honswere among several undrafted signal callers who started as replacement players during a strike-shortened season.

We're not counting "rookies" who came to the NFL from Canada.

Between then and now, it appears that the earliest an undrafted rookie has moved into the starting job behind center was in Week 8 when Chad Hutchinson replaced Quincy Carter as the starter in Dallas during the 2002 season.​

We're heading into nearly uncharted waters with Hall behind center this week. Good luck, Max. You'll need it.
