OR.
You see Cam Newton look like crap already, overthrowing receivers, nervous in the pocket. Denver has a hell of a pass rush. Until we can get an elite pass rush, I feel like we cannot take that next step. The problem is our window is closing quickly with Palmer.

The better question is what dominate pass rushers did we pass on?

Remember we had some down years after that super bowl and a lot of holes to fill

Recently? None as they have been snatched up before we got a chance.

But no one will ever forget passing on Suggs for Johnson & Pace. That by far was one of the worst draft decisions ever made.

We took Housler 1 pick ahead of Justin Houston in 2011.

Wasn't that like the 3rd or 4th round. You can't really say we passed on a guy that late in the draft. That's a crap shoot at that point.

I'm talking first round

Oh god that was the worst. Especially considering he was a local home grown kid from Chandler who went to ASU

since that superbowl all we knew pass rush was a concern
rod graves and after steve keim said several times was an area to improve but they didnt accomplish it

cody brown
sam acho
o'brien schofield
alex okafor
kareem martin
marcus golden
shaq riddick
is a list of mediocre to average player,nobody of them was/is the answer we are still waiting
Think we should actually wait to see Shaq play before jumping to that conclusion.

Maybe u Can trade up to get someone who is special
Also u should have the ability to find someone in later round who can turn in a very good pass rusher
They never been able to do that

Talent like Von Miller and DWare only come around once a decade. Put them together and - WOW.

Yeah, defense wins championships. Too bad the Cards are built around offense.

We had the 5th ranked defense in the NFL last year
