Cards QB's 1988
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B3a1Kh7Vqw

Now some dressed me in Raiders gear- I projectile vomit on that projection. I take it all in good fun- but I want explain I have Cardinal
post tramatic stress disorder! I actually set at SDS and shouted at the other fan across the field in 1991! I was all in on Tom Tupa- drunk or not! ( me and Tom ) CPTSD is not an excuse - it is a condition! and it can not be taken seriously! ( rule 62)

Now Prior to 1988 I was Cleveland Brown fan- the Drive and The Fumble only compare to Matty's 2nd rookie start on Monday Night Meltdown in the most devastating losses in NFL lore! you have to step outside football to world wars and Native American trail of tears to find more emotional personal trauma! I like me some Marty ball, for what it is worth, I still have BPTSD - and the whole team disappeared for a decade! like farts in the wind.

I beleive in football fundementals first- I believe in positional and unit skillsets- I believe in the HC/staff/front office creating a culture for players and units to succeed. So I probably grade both from a negative perspective, I think we should have ran more than 10 times in the SB loss- like we did in the playoff wins- Ditto on the saints loss- ditto on the GB playoff win. 14 for 90+ before we starved the bean!

So I am whacked- I admit it- cause you don't want to slip right into being whacked and never have a clue:) I have watched NFL football for neary 45 years, and know what I like and don't like, we are getting better as a team. but we are stilll whacked!

I've been to 2 county fairs an ankle hangin and a pig sticking and I aint seen nothing like this. so whatever the record in 2012- I think we will be the most entertaining bang for the buck in sports. We will see what the olympic bring!
But I am not Raider( sorry about your luck) I am Cardinal, get down and waller in the mud naked Arizona Cardinal Football Club Fan!
Cardinal up and take it like a Fan!

Remember Tom Tupa? The 17-year NFL punter and owner of the NFL’s catchiest name? Mike Jones of the Washington Post reported that Tupa won a court hearing against the Redskins in Maryland late last month.

Tupa’s NFL career ended in 2005 when he hurt his back during pregame warmups. The Maryland Court of Appeals ruled that the team must pay him workman’s compensation. Tupa filed his claim in 2007 (four years wait for a final verdict…God bless America).

Tupa’s agent, Neil Cornrich, declined to say exactly how much the settlement was for. The 45-year-old Tupa is currently the recreation director at a community center in his home town of Brecksville, Ohio.

well yea

They called me a raider lover, I remember watching a Card fan get beat to a bloody pulp and handed out limp- hand over head -to the police in our stadium! Our freaking stadium - by Raider fans- it was not an uncommon occurance- Most teams outnumbered us Card fans!

It reminded me of the crap I took while cheering for Tom Tupa at QB! We had about the same stats and record as we did last year, yea I pulled the Tom Tupa card in the offseason...

I should be more careful- but the best QB we ever drafted will be starting for the Stupid Raiders for the next 10 years.. We don't need Raider fans beating us to a bloody pulp - our own staff will do it!

:bang:




Seriously, you had to bring up Tupa?? Seriously?

I remember Tupa and the Cards taking it to the Eagles in week 2 of '91 in Philadelphia, 26-10. I remember Tupa throwing a pick 6 that I was sure was going to let the Eagles back in it.

Wasn't he the first player to score a 2 point conversion in the NFL?

Um, he didn't throw a pick 6 in that game.

I am not sure I understood your post but it was fascinating and entertaining. I remember Charlie Trippi as the greatest Cardinal of all. This URL is entertaining story of Charlie Trippi and how the old Mr. Bidwill managed to sign him rather than the New York Yankees. His records are legion:

If we started listing all the QBs who have played for the Arizona Cardinals this thread would be 100 pages long. Just the goofy choices would take 90 pages. :D
