Will ML Even Play On Thursday?

[Doc Cardinal]

Whatya think?

If so how much and what's the predict on how he'll do?

Many on here predicted he was gonna suck big time against the Bears.

 

[conraddobler]

Nope, can't.

He gets hurt they'd have to give him an injury settlement.

There's almost zero chance he's going to be playing.

 

[Rats]

No, unless DA gets hurt we will not see ML QB this team again. He will be cut or traded. Damn shame he worked hard and got nothing but halftruths from the coach. Guess we will have to roll with DA and see what develops.

 

[Shane]

he will play.

 

[DoTheDew]

If he plays then I don't think we're trading him. What would be the point of risking hurting him and getting rid of any possibility of getting something for him.

That said, I doubt he plays.

 

[D-Dogg]

If they are moving or cutting him, there is no way in hell he should hit the field. NONE.

DA one series, Hall the rest of the half and Skeletor the second half.

 

[Reddog]

I expect him to play. Wiz will opporate as if he will be a solution at QB at some level on the depth chart until he isn't. The real question is how does Matt play. Does he light it up as an audition, tank it to get released vs traded, is he such a baket case that he cant compose himself? To me this is a great opportunity to see if he can handle the pressure. For Wiz if he does he can chalk it up to another aspect of his progress if he doesn't it affirms what he has been thinking.

 

[DemsMyBoys]

he will play.

If he does, it's going to be real interesting to watch/listen to the fan reaction. Also going to be interesting to hear the reaction to DA's play.

 

[nashman]

Well if he does play it will be even more confusing the whole situation.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Of course he'll play.

Whiz can then say that ML was treated fairly, and the decision considers all factors, blah, blah, blah...

And as long as he comes out alive, the trade or cut possibilities are still there.

 

[Shane]

Whiz can then say that ML was treated fairly, and the decision considers all factors, blah, blah, blah...

Which would all be true.

 

[D-Dogg]

Of course he'll play.

Whiz can then say that ML was treated fairly, and the decision considers all factors, blah, blah, blah...

Which would all be true.

And the circle of life begins anew.

:sigh:

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Which would all be true.

Spare me the "truth" thing, please!

 

[Renz]

If we're trying to trade Matt then he won't play. If he plays, then all that trade talk was bogus.

 

[Shane]

Spare me the "truth" thing, please!

Of thats right your "truth is the "truth"

 

[Crazy Canuck]

If we're trying to trade Matt then he won't play. If he plays, then all that trade talk was bogus.

Why?

Where is it written that he can't both play and be traded?

 

[Buckybird]

If anyone listened to Wiz in his presser yesterday he was asked if both QB's would play against the Skins. His answer: Yes, unless something happens before Thursday. That tells me the trade rumors are legit & he might be out of here by today or tommorrow. Otherwise I think he plays & is then sent his wlaking papers.

 

[CaptTurbo]

Man that would be fun if he came in for 3 drives and was 17/18 for 220 yards and 3 td lol

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Of thats right your "truth is the "truth"

You are the one who has pounded out the "truth" according to Whiz for the past couple of days, while a few of us believe in more nuanced thinking on this subject. As in there may be shades of grey, not all black or white.

 

[D-Dogg]

Man that would be fun if he came in for 3 drives and was 17/18 for 220 yards and 3 td lol

Or breaks his collarbone and the team pays him a settlement.

Cut bait on Matt already, Cards. It's clear that is the desire on both sides...stop the music, the dance is over.

 

[earthsci]

Man that would be fun if he came in for 3 drives and was 17/18 for 220 yards and 3 td lol

Even though this board would go ape, the scenario that you give would be the best thing for the Cards.

Now that I think of it, this possibility may ensure that Matt sits. God forbid that he went out there and embarrassed Whiz the Almighty.

 

[Renz]

Why?

Where is it written that he can't both play and be traded?

It isn't written anywhere, but players on the brink of being traded aren't put into a position where they can get injured. It's common sense. You see it in every sport.

 

[Renz]

Now that I think of it, this possibility may ensure that Matt sits. God forbid that he went out there and embarrassed Whiz the Almighty.

How funny is it that the most successful coach in Arizona Cardinals history, who got the team to the freakin' Super Bowl two years ago and has improved the team's record every season he's been here, is already being mocked by some fans?

Sports fans. Ya gotta love 'em!

 

[PoolBoy]

I think most of the fans are still on Matt's side IMO. I could see him getting a huge reaction from the crowd and making this even more dramatic
