I know that Urban is saying that Sendlein "came up gimpy," but he didn't appear on the injury report all week and was active for the game? Something there sounds fishy.

At this point in Keim's young career, I really think that the Cards will end up taking the roster turnover approach to finding good OLBs - draft a few, sign a few every year, maybe even a trade, until we find the ones that work. At least we do well with WRs...

the Okafor thing is a major head-scratcher. Reminds me of Acho, who came out with 8 sacks his rookie year, then vanished without a trace. Expected a lot more out of Okafor after he played very well as a rook.

"The inability of the Cardinals to develop promising young pass rushers has been a problem dating back to O’Brien Schofield."

Hard to argue with that... But, then there is Golden. Let's hope Markus is the guy to turn that track-record on its' ear!

Very interesting to see what plays out with Sendlein. Shipley played extremely well last night and proved to be much more mobile than Lyle. Running the zone scheme, Shipley excelled...

My biggest worry for this team as I look out into future years is, how will they deal with the QB position. How will they prepare for a post-Palmer era?? THAT single issue could determine the greatness of Keim & Co....

Rivers, Stafford are eventually waiting in the wings when Carson retires after next season and we've won back to back Super Bowls.

There are guys out there ( like Bradford) that could be developed in this offense.

Many Qb's are wallowing in pathetic offenses and ******** coaching. Even a guy like Cutler could thrive here.

No and no...Bradford doesn't have the arm for this offense and Cutler doesn't have the brains.

Stafford I could see though.

No kidding. Brown developed skillet hands yesterday. At least he redeemed himself somewhat for a back breaking TD.

Perhaps the youngster was unused to the 37-degree weather.
Kansas isn't exactly Florida so the kid has played in cold weather before. It was just one of those games.

we have seen JB drop one pass in a game ...... odd to see him drop a few

maybe he got it out of his system

Agree. Bradford and Cutler is not what I would prefer but I do believe they would be better under Arians.

I'm very excited for what Golden could continually bring to the team. Man, the team needs him and and a couple more like him.

Great choices for the Hero's and Goats.

Does Buthead replace Niklas?

Great team win and wish I could fully enjoy it but the HB ACL injury grinches this win.

I trust Bradford's work ethic enough to get behind him as a QBOF. Would he accept a contract based on playing time to sit behind Carson next year while he learns the offense? I think we've had a lot worse...

Still.. once again, we're going to need a pass rusher for next season to keep this train rolling.

Go Cards!!!

I don't think that Bradford has the character for this offense, honestly. I'm not sure Cutler does, either, but I think that Cutler is more profoundly broken than any QB that Arians will have worked with. There was a great article on Bleacher Report a couple months ago from the guy who drafted Jay Cutler and what went wrong with him:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2580349-why-i-drafted-jay-cutler-and-what-happened-from-there

It's a bit of a lunchtime read, but I found this fascinating.

We talked about this earlier, but I think that Matt Stafford is the best candidate for a veteran QB to fit into Arians' offense. It's possible that Matt Ryan would be available if he has another couple down year. Nick Foles will be available.

And don't forget that the wet dream of so many people here — Tampa Bay's long-necked backup Mike Glennon — will be an unrestricted free agent in the Spring of 2017.

Golden looks like the pass rusher the Cards wanted Okafor to develop into. I wasn't sure what Okafor would look like after his off season issues, and I am guessing that this is what it looks like.

Oh well, another off season, another need at both LB spots.
