Yeah, who would have ever thought that Todd Heap would get hurt?

Heap is (a) in the last year of his contract, (b) an injury-prone liability, and (c) took a pay cut because of (b) to remain in Arizona. If you believe even half of Whisenhunt’s perpetual pro-Housler coach speak, why the reluctance to insert him – permanently – into the starting lineup?

Oh, yeah; this is my father’s Cardinals, after all.

As a Baltimore Ravens fan, I watched Todd Heap play many games…some hurt. Only twice did he have major injuries (the last time being a hamstring injury in 2007) and the team, not coincidentally, did not do well those years.

Now he is listed as having a “sore” knee for 8 weeks? I’m a Heap fan and all, but this sounds fishy to me. I have little doubt that if he were with the Ravens and in the middle of a playoff race, he would be playing right now.

Heap was constantly hurt the last several seasons he played for the Ravens, and that’s the main reason he was not re-signed. No real surprise there. He was a great player in his prime, and he’ll be in the Ravens ROH, no doubt. And he earned it. But that was then, and this is now.

For the first 4 – 5 years of his career, Todd Heap was as good a TE as there was in the league, when he could stay on the field. He’s a class act, but the Ravens made the right call when they let him go during the 2011 off-season.

Todd Heap is a class act. If he says he is hurt-he’s hurt.

PS He and his wife gave $ 1,000,000 to a pediatrics care facility in Baltimore.

They need to cut him. Housler has shown great potential

Heap has one good leg, he should get out there and hop around.

Cards may be? I think it’s more like Whisenhunt that is losing patience. He does not care about a players future, he is trying to save his own.
