The Cards broke out the checkbooks and paid Campbell & LB Daryl Washington this year, and both guys have stepped up their already awesome games since. It’s refreshing to see guys get paid and not go in the tank (cough, Chris Johnson, cough cough). The Cards brass knew both of these guys are the real deal, and were VERY wise to pay the lads. If they could just find a QB and some help for the OL, they’d be a VERY tough team to beat, because that defense has quietly evolved into one of the best in the league.

“Calais Campbell deserved it. He didn’t take steroids like certain other players to perform the way he did.”

Got evidence or you just part of the drag someone’s name through the mud cause he plays for a team your spiteful toward…?

I think there is as much evidence supporting the theory of Campbell taking steroids as there is of Matthews. I mean, come on, the man is gigantic, and his dad wasn’t a professional athlete.

So, that would be zero evidence, if you are scoring at home.

Great job Campbell!!!! I hope there is more honors your way. Finally some positive things are coming out of Arizona.

Clay Matthews not winning it is more of an indictment of Webb than anything else. 10 and 2 for a 3-4 DE is pretty impressive really. I’ll have to look up the other nominees- I think Tramon Williams was actually more deserving than Matthews as well.

Clay Matthews played against Jay Cutler and a division three offensive line at home. Campbell played against Tom Brady on the road. You don’t often see d lineman with 10 tackles in the game. Who was expecting Arizona to win this game versus who was expecting the Pack to win?

Packers fans get out of here! You won at home against a cry baby QB.

We (Cards) had a milestone win against a future Hall of Famer in a home opener which they havent lost since the inception of the stadium.

Move along…

Campbell had a great game, and deserved the award any other week, but this should’ve been Matthews. I watched both games, Calais had a great game but Matthews single handedly destroyed their gameplan.

Not a huge snub, but I think Clay had the better day by a hair.

Campbell made the upset possible last Sunday; very deserving.

In my opinion, Clay Matthews, with 3.5 sacks of Jay Cutler, was more deserving of the Honor.

Cards got a bargain on his new contract. He is turning into a special player.
