This, so much this. People who cite Stanton's win/loss record while avoiding his career completion and INT/TD stats are kidding themselves. There are 60 guys on this planet at least who win the games he won with the defense and supporting cast he had. I'm disappointed he's our backup, if only because we know what he is, and that's a below average backup. Oh well.The team won. Stanton sucked.

Bruce Arians, on @ArizonaSports, asked about the No. 2 QB spot: "Oh, the decision is made." Stanton is the guy. Gabbert improving.
Couldn't resistthrow that veteran minimum contract at Daryl Washington again. This is madness how injured our ILBs are.

Yes, that's why I said again. It's never too late and he's still unemployedWe offered that in March and he declined. Too late now.
Cherry picking stats. When called upon to play significant time as the starter in 2014 he was 5-3 with a rating of 78.7 and 7 TD's to 5 ints. Then the ONE game he started he started in 2016, he won and threw 2 TD to 0 int with a rating of 77.1.The team won. Stanton sucked.

I'll take that out of the backup QB any day. He doesn't cost the Cards games when he starts and that's what you want out of your backup QB.
You know who was also decent in 2014? Peyton Manning. Times change and people's ability changes. Stanton has done nothing but suck for the past 2 years.
Google Drew Stanton stats. What do you see on the front page? Same stats I posted. Should I look deeper to find some that says he sucks less? Bottom line is he has been terrible for the past 2 years.
I still think Stanton deserves to be here, although Blaine has looked good. I hope we carry 3 QBs.

He started 1 game last year and threw 2 Td's to 0 int and they won. That's what I base a backup's performance on and not the random series here and there. He doesn't make the plays that costs the team wins when he's been put in they starting role.You know who was also decent in 2014? Peyton Manning. Times change and people's ability changes.

we won even with his poor peformances
i didnt mean just stanton but especially amos, the special team coach
He's exactly what you want in your backup QB.
You got that right.
The pass on special teams is a definite risk for this year. Amos either has his redemption or becomes Arians' albatross.
If you read Arian's book, Amos isn't going anywhere. Bruce won't fire any of his coaches.
For whatever reason, ST play dipped significantly since BA came to town. Most everything else has improved though, so I'll live with it.
Go Cards!!!
