No One Likes the Cards

With 375 points scored and giving up 325, we garnered 10 wins in '09. Do you think we can maintain that "O" output with AD at the helm?

I think we score more points with DA than we would have with Leinart.

We can't know that, and KW is the standard. We won ten games in "09 with 375 scored and 325 against. Can we reach a comparable ratio?

 

[kerouac9]

Who cares? #7 isn't on this team any more. Why are you living in the past? Is it going to be the case that people who though that #7 needed more of a look when the bullets were live are going to get cudgeled over the head with that instead of talking about the players on the field?

The fact of the matter is that DA is the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals for as long as it lasts. It seems only fair to answer his question: do you think that Derek Anderson can equal the points output of Kurt Warner in 2009, or that the defense can reduce opposition scoring by a field goal a game or more?

IMO we will allow less point but score less. Not sure what the ratio will be. But I certainly don't expect a KW lead type of output.

No way and no way.6-10 at best.That stinks.I could live with a season like that IF the team is playing youngsters and other players are showing improvement.AND the DEFENSE PLAYS THE WHOLE GAME .No rolling over and quitting.

Irrelevant. The standard for points scored and wins is Kurt Warner.

That's an interesting point. We have an unusual mix of "youngsters" and veterans this season. Does Calais Campbell count as a youngster? Gabe Watson? I think Will Davis will see more action this year. Does DRC still count? Greg Toler? Brandon Keith does, but what about Levi Brown now at left tackle? Beanie Wells? Tim Hightower?

Yep! Throw Washington and Williams into the mix and you can sit back and watch the fun.

I like the Cardinals!

If things go South i would like to see youngsters get playing time .If Anderson tanks why not Hall? Why not Dan Williams starting instead of Robinson.

 

[O]

I do!
I like their chances!

Unless I'm mistaken, the Cardinals are still the NFC Western Division Champions!

There are a whole lot of players and coaches on this team that take pride in that fact.
They are not going to roll over!


The NFC West Championship is in Arizona and any other team that wants it has to come here and take it away!

No and yes.

 

[kerouac9]

No and yes.

:shocked:

 

[Sandan]

Even Ron Wolfley has the 49ers winning. This is a lost year, we don't have a QB.

Wolfly was tongue in cheek

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

I don't know why some of you like LIAC will even bother to watch games this year?

Because we still love the team...but I cannot sit here and pretend like many that we have a shot with DA as a full time starter. I hope to god I get to eat major Crow, but DA is a joke IMO.

 

[Duckjake]

I don't know why some of you like LIAC will even bother to watch games this year?

We were saying that the 2003 team had a real potential for failure at the end of preseason yet we still watched the games.

We even watched the games in 2000 when the Cards quit on their lame duck coach and were outscored by 233 points, went 11 games in a row without scoring more than 16 points, and finished 3-13.

We continued to watch the games when the Cards hired their total failure as a DC as HC who was a failure at that too.

We continued to watch the games after Arizona choked away three of their first 6 games, Denny had his Monday Night Meltdown and the Cards played like crap for the next three weeks as a Championship caliber football team finished 5-11.

Should I go on?

Some perspective from the 2009 season:

Cardinals
10-6 record 375 PF 325 PA Net pts. 50
49ers
8-8 record 330 PF 281 PA Net pts. 49
Broncos
8-8 record 326 PF 324 PA Net pts. 2
Panthers
8-8 record 315 PF 324 PA Net pts. 7
Bengals
10-6 record 305 PF 291 PA Net pts. 14
Titans
8-8 record 354 PF 402 PA Net pts. -48

Titans scored 3 pts. per game avg. less than their opponents, yet managed to win 8 games!

I'm with you!!! Cardinals are much better than folks on this board want to give them credit for. Shame on you naysayers! Everyone entitled to their opinion, but I don't have to respect you for it.

To be fair they lost 59-0. Take that game out and it looks a lot better. The week before they lost 31-9.

Yeah once the Titans got to 0-6 and VY took over at QB they were 270-214 I think. Outscored their opponents in the 8 wins 236-135.

EDIT: Very similar to the Cards in 2008 who outscored opponents 282-152 in their 9 wins and were outscored 274-145 in their 7 losses.
