The saddest part of yesterday’s game? All the NY Jets fans and NY media who think they have found their savior at QB in McElroy. Yeah, what a superstar he is, leading the Jets to a 1 point victory over the sad sack Cardinals. Woohoo!

@ppc50 – I believe the option to keep Smith is in the 49ers hands and not Alex’s. So theoretically (although it would not be wise), they could keep Smith as an $8 million dollar back-up. They could then try to trade him and get something out of him instead of letting him walk for $1 million.

TEAMCardinals, you want Fitz and the rest of that offensive squad to reach their full potential. Tell your owner to hire Hue Jackson. He’ll have that offense Rollin.

Look what he did here. Raiders had 11+ loss seasons for 7 straight years. Hue Jackson comes to the Raiders we’re a .500 team for two years…On the verge of a breakthru, but he leaves and the Raiders are right back to losing 11+ games a year.

Hue Jackson’s the man. Hire him.

I’d trade Brandon Lloyd for him…

Burro – Alex Smith will be leaving after this year, unless he starts again – doubtful. Why would the Cards trade Fitz or anyone for Alex Smith – he will be available.

Everyone is saying he is wasting his career. He is actually preserving it. he doesn’t get balls thrown his way so he isn’t taking any hits. He can play for 20 years under those conditions. He doesn’t have to worry about concussions and he is still getting PAID. Why would anyone take 5 million less. this is a business. If he goes to a contender and they OVERUSE him, his value and career is over anyway. They will toss him to the side like month old milk. And that contract is over. Ask Ladanian Tomlinson how that goes. Even Michael Turner.

When are the Cards gonna get Fitzgerald a quarterback? I guess that since tey have him locked up for awhile they can be cheap

They should cut him! Quinn could use another WR, heard they have an open roster spot in KC

I bet fitz wishes he didn’t sign that contract extension. No hall of fame for him. Goodnite sweet prince

Oh excuse me, when Larry Fitzgerald said you have to laugh to keep from crying I thought he was talking about the Minnesota Viking offense!

Alex Smith and Michael Crabtree to the Cards and a third rounder from SF for Fitz. I think that both teams would benefit.

If Az could sign Alex Smith this off season I would even cut Kolb and his contract.

By: djjackson81

djjackson81 — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 19:13:07 +0000

We have a high draft pick coming this off season and if they can’t sign Alex Smith which good chance Smith would sign in Az because he would have Fitzgerald to through to and he would love to stick it to the niners after the way they did him. Kolb would be a decent back up to Smith. Then Az could draft high on the O-line and draft a good running back next.
Alex Smith QB via free agent or draft QB
Then O-line first round if Smith deal gets done.
Running back ,there’s some good backs coming out this draft.

For those criticizing Wisenhunt. How’s he getting closer to getting a QB by beating teams like the Jets? Gotta lose to win in the draft.

I may be in the minority, but I don’t feel the slightest bit bad for Fitzgerald. He was in the last year of his contract and had a no-franchise clause. He could have played anywhere.

Players play for the money. He could have taken a pay cut to play with Brady or Manning, but he chose the money.

And that’s fine, good for him. He’s not complaining either, which is also good. He just puts his head down and gives 100%. But please, spare me the “hate to see a great players wasted” spiel.

Larry chose to sign with this team. The only way I trade him is two first rounds and a second maybe. To KC or Jacksonville. Any other contender would be late first round picks and forget that.

larrydavidstern — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 18:59:46 +0000

So let me get this straight. First, he names Skelton the starting QB after training camp when it should have been Kolb. Then, when his 6th round rookie QB is having one of the worst games of all time and is giving his team no chance to win, you don’t put in the guy you thought was the best QB after watching him all of preseason and training camp!? Man, talk about bad judgement! I’d fire him today!

Larry, force a trade to the Redskins. Play with the best QB in the NFL, teamup with Garçon and let’s go win Superbowls! Unfair to watch a great player rot in mediocrity

Ironic that you made that comment seeing as RGIII plays for the Redskins. Although he is a rookie, far from a sure thing.

I feel bad for the guy. He’s almost too much of a class act to be honest…I doubt many would be able to hold off from bashing just about everyone on the Cards.
The guy is probably the most talented WR in the NFL and he doesn’t even get looks in this offense. If I’m the coach and o-cord. I’m setting up screens, pick-plays, trickery, whatever…..just so long as I’m getting Fitz 10-15 chances a game. I mean what do they have to lose?

I hope he remembers that next time he wants to renew a contract with the Cardinals

By: dachozen1

I like Fitz but I dont take his comments too seriously. He chose to take a huge contract over going to a competing team/organization in hopes of winning a championship. You knew the Cardinals didnt have a good QB and your huge contract leaves little money for other significant contributions. I dont begrudge anyone of getting huge contract but when that is more important than the ring accept the consequences.

Let’s be real here, Larry is trying his hardest to give Cardinal fans hope. Unfortunately I think it’s starting to take it’s toll. Fitz isn’t a Prima Donna WR who would force his way out and I respect him for that, but as a fan, I think he deserves a legit chance at winning a SB

By: amanistumor

amanistumor — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 18:51:31 +0000

He’s laughing alright…… straight to the Bank!!

I don’t feel sorry for him as he CHOSE to stay there when there would have been many suitors coming close to what ARI offered him.

Unfortunately for us fans of a real team he’s too nice a guy and a team player to demand a trade.

Career wasted? Might be too early to call it but the way it’s looking.

Am I the only one who doesn’t feel any sympathy for Fitz? He coulda hand picked his next team and he chooses to resign with that mess?

Guess money talks..

I hate seeing all galaxy players (Fitz, All Day, etc.) waste their respective primes on shoddy QB play.

By: oreo51

oreo51 — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 18:35:27 +0000

Fitz, cannot possibly earn that contract without a QB to get him the ball. Arizona better trade him for a QB and start over. They can find other WR’s. They need a ton of help in the O Line, also. It is not like they are one player away.

By: fuglyflorio

Maybe if Fitz had renegotiated his ‘team killer’ contract they’d have had room to get a decent QB.
