What real football fan is unaware of the talent of Larry Fitzgerald? That dude is a beast and the ultimate team player. I cannot say enough nice things about Fitz. How can you have anything but respect for him?

God I love Larry. Such a good person, he deserves some rings on his hands, I hope they draft a QB that turns out to be a huge get, he needs it.

larry seems to be a really good guy, but is he a good leader? i know that blasting the qb in the media is no way to make friends but why does larry seem content enough to sign an extension with a losing franchise? he’s the barry sanders of this decade. great player, classy guy – but not a winner or a leader.

The Cards solution to the problem will be to sign Mike Vick as a free agent after the Eagles release him, and giving Whisenhunt another year. The result of this brilliant plan will be Vick burying yet another coach as the Cards continue their tradition of fail.

Make no mistake that Fitz knew how rotten the offensive line was in the past and was going to be in the future with the same players the coaching staff was gambling on miraculously improving to decent. Peyton Manning saw first hand the offensive line the Cards had and knew right away the offensive line was going to sink the team. Now, Whiz has damaged his team by panic decisions like pulling Skelton who starts slow and finishes decently for a unproven rookie who did not even get most of the snaps in their bye week. Skelton had over 300 yards even with 10 dropped passes that hit the hands of his receivers in their last game against the Packers. With that record in Skelton’s last game, Whisenhut panics and plays a rookie with a college career completion average of 55%. In the pros, Lindley did not even manage a 50% completion rate and gave up the fumble that lost the game.

Remember and feel for Fitz as he has to play for this coach who puts crummy rookies on the field.

“It’s such a shame that most people don’t realize how good this guy really is because of the Qb situation in Arizona.”

No.

Everybody knows how good he is, in spite of the situation in Arizona.

Unbelievable player, unbelievable person. What a shame that this hall of famer has been in the wrong place at the wrong time for most of his career.

Larry’s biggest flaw was signing that extension. I have over a 100 million reasons not to feel sorry for him. He either choose the money ( more power to him) or faithfulness to the team that drafted him ( more power to him ), but he knew this team had issues and now he is doing the right thing by not complaining about it. Larry made his 100 million dollar bed and he is sleeping in it like a man.

Every time the Hawks play Cardinals I wish Fitzgerald was a free agent and would sign with the Hawks. The man is a great receiver and better class act.

Now if he would just get the flu before every Hawk game I could relax a little.

Fitzgerald is a great receiver and a great guy. Period.

Larry is a classy guy. I wish some of the Eagles players like Babin would learn from him, instead the Eagles players want to blame the fans for the fact that they stink.

Not to downplay the “team player” story, but Fitz signed an eight year deal in 2011. He could have signed with a more competitive team.

Of course, by the end of the contract, he’ll have 120 million reasons not to. All those January vacations are nice, and they’ll save him a whole season’s worth of contact, too.

Either the Rams need to trade for Larry Fitzgerald or the Cardinals need to trade for Steve Jackson. These two deserve to play on the same team and have a chance to win.

Having to watch what Andre Johnson had to go through for years here in Houston having David Carr as our QB, I certainly feel for Larry and all AZ fans.
Hopefully they get it right in the next couple years. Fitz is too special a talent to be wasting away.

I would put Fitz in the same high class as our Texans Andre Johnson, a respected player who does his talking on the field. As Bum Phillips once said “Don’t know if he’s at the top of the class, but it don’t take long to call the roll”.

Larry is a good guy, but most of the diva WRs you all pick on say this same stuff.

It’s such a shame that most people don’t realize how good this guy really is because of the Qb situation in Arizona.
Makes me wonder what his stats would look like if he had a qb like Brady or Manning for his whole career…

I feel bad for this Guy..but he signd the extension, bad choice. he will vanish in Arizona and become irrelevant. Kurt Warner isn’t comming back. he should have left like Bouldin did

Can you imagine if Larry played for the Pats, Pack, Broncos, or Saints?

Fitz is the ultimate teammate. Some guys on the Jets should take notes.

That said, I feel bad for him because he’s a HOF talent that’s wasting away at the hands of a scrub coach and a collection of scrub QB’s.

I love stories on Fitz. I always know they will be positive because even though he is an elite player, he exhibits no entitled behavior. He is a true pro’s pro and an outstanding example for youngsters to emulate whether they play sports or not.
