If a team had to pick a year to finish with the worst record in football there are certain years when it is worth it to the organization. There are years when a player comes out with the ability to completely change the poor fortunes of a football team. Lawrence Taylor when he joined the Giants turned around a team that was as pathetic as the Cardinals are now. I remember that game where the Giants were leading the Eagles with seconds left and handed the ball off instead of kneeling down resulting in them losing to the Eagles in a way nobody loses. The Giants were as hapless as the Cards are now. I realize the Giants had more than Taylor but I think he was the key. A guy like Elway, Montana, Favre, Campbell, Dickerson, Marino, Namath, Taylor or Singletary can change the fortunes of an organization. I realize Favre was not a number one pick. The point is to name guys who revolutionized their teams. I really think Bush is that kind of guy.
By the way CBS was running a poll of which rookie has made the most impact this year. Rolle was not among the 5 choices listed. There is never a Cardinal player listed in those polls of who is the best or makes the biggest difference.
