How does Wisenhunt not challenge that? He's the home coach.. they're blasting replays all over the stadium! Surely he could have seen that.

Evidently Kurt Warner should have been given a lot more MVP consideration these past couple years than he received. The Cardinals offence looks horrid right now.

I'll be seriously shocked if the NFC West winner is better than 7-9 this season.

Cards are minus Warner and Boldin. Boldin was a top reciever in the league while on the Cards. Now teams just focus on Fitzgerald.

While I agree with this, Derek Anderson cannot deliver the ball like Warner. Also, their running game isn't exactly a major threat (it's decent, nothing to write home about).

I think we all really did underestimate Warner, he was pretty amazing.

Well, the running game (or lack thereof) is due to having a loser from THE Ohio State in the backfield.

Oh no question Warner was an awesome QB and was a million times better then Anderson. Named one of the game's top 100 players in that recent documentary. My comment on Boldin had nothing to do with Warner but was just saying that Arizona lost 2 of their 3 best players.

Derek Anderson has a bit of a meltdown after the game when facing reporters.

When you are losing like the Cards laughing on the sideline is probably not a good idea. Anderson probably does work and study hard. He's just not a very good QB. Ken Whisenhunt really dropped the ball in letting Lineart go and placing the team in the hands of Anderson. Yeah I get that the QB and coach didn't see eye to eye but they didn't gain anything from releasing him and could have kept him around for insurance as IMO Lineart is the better QB and the team had invested the draft pick and money so why not see what you have in him?

The NFL is hurting right now for QB talent. Is seems like half the league has starters that are more suited to backup duty.

you would think that if they were serious about competing this season they would have traded for a more experienced-bad quarterback.

Those QB's don't exactly inspire confidence either though. If Vick decides to test the waters there could be alot of suitors and money for him if he desires. I have heard though that he's pretty loyal to the Eagles for giving him the chance to resume his career so I have a feeling they will work something out.

Sure is nice to have Brian Westbrook as the sub.

All they have to do to retain him is franchise him.

If that even exists in the new CBA.

Yes because there isn't a new CBA yet so they are still working off the old one just uncapped and they would have to pay him Brady/Manning type money as it has to be the average of the top 5 at the position. When you look at the alternatives they don't really have much of a choice unless he stinks it up down the stretch.
