It seems like, other than draft talk, all I read on here is about Palmer's replacement or BA's replacement and who it should, or could be, and what's wrong with the team.

Why can't we enjoy that the Cards have a top notch GM, a two-time HC of the year, a QB that plays at a high level(CP does have the Cards single season record for yards and TD'S), and one of the most talented rosters in the league.

If it weren't for a couple botched kicks, the Cards were again a playoff team this year. I realize that they did miss the kicks and am not saying they deserved to make the playoffs but not much went the Cards way, break-wise, this year and I chalk it up to just "one of those years".

Since 2013, the Cards are 41-22-1 and I don't see any reason for that too change. I'm going to enjoy the fact that our Cardinals are now a top level team and want no part of going back to Rod Graves days.

I'm born and raised here been through a lot and I mean a lot of bad years, but some of the new Cardinal fans act like it's there birth right to win 10+ games a year. This team was literally a handful of plats from another double digit win season but to hear guys talk you would think we were the Cleveland Browns.

So much of football comes down to just plain who's healthy.

If it makes you feel better I feel that way. I don't worry about the draft because I feel like we will draft players that will help the team. It might not be a perfect draft in hindsight but no team has ever done that.

I don't worry about players leaving. Even Palmer. We had nobody at QB before him and when SK was put in charge he went and got us a QB. He did it once he will do it again.

I don't worry about BA retiring because to the best of my knowledge HE has never seriously mentioned it. I personally think he will coach for another 4-5 years. And when he rides off into the sunset Michael Bidwill will find us a new coach because he is a great owner.

As fans we have it really good. I know because I was around when it was really bad. I plan on enjoying it as much as I can for as long as I can.

im not taking any of those things for granted. lets face it, we could be the Browns, or, the 49ers -- where your hope in the front office boils down to "hey, its crazy enough that it just might work"

There is a lot to feel good about the Cards, especially the Front Office and coaching staff. We do however have a ton of UFA's that if they leave will make it feel like the 2010 exodus.

I guess the difference is that I have a ton more faith in Keim to weather the storm then Graves. The news that Fitz is returning pretty much insures that Palmer will also be back which means the Offense will be in great shape.

An entirely different team and organization now that Michael is in charge.

Are you really asking this question after the most disappoint year in Cardinals history, where you correctly noted could have been at least a playoff season if not for an awful ST, who's coach isn't being held accountable?

That's prob why.

But I'm stoked for next year, ST be damned, which I'm
Sure they will be like
They have the last three years

Taking the long view - I'm happy and greatful for what we've got.

But that doesn't mean we should ignore the process and not capitalize on any opportunity we have to net out better.
