He must of been under the impression that Kurt Warner was comin out of retirement when he signed that new contract. Either that or under the influence….

For anyone who says that the bad O-line play is Russ Grimm’s fault — look at what he’s had to work with. The Cards have not drafted an offensive lineman before the 4th round since 2007. This year they are starting two rookie tackles (4th round & 7th round picks). They’ve been trying to get by with late-round picks and waiver pickups (and stiffs like Alan Faneca).

The QB situation is just as bad. In the last 10 years they have drafted only two QBs before the 4th round: Matt Leinart and Josh McCown.

The way that game snowballed against them, who can really blame them? As for Fitz re-signing with Az, the start of the season, including a victory over the Seahawks gave every reason to think the Cards had indeed turned a corner. 49′ers swift turnaround under Harbaugh shows what can be made of high draft picks, underachieving talent, and excellent coaching. Hope Fitz doesn’t listen to Dad on this one, the core is there for success. Granted, in the NFC West with the 49′ers, Seahawks, and Rams already making progress, it will be tough for at least a few years.

Imagine him and Adrian Peterson on the same offense.

The good thing about the league is his fortunes can turn around in a hurry. I mean even this team started on a 4-game winning streak. We’re only a few years removed from when he was a possesion and desperation pass away from being a Super Bowl that alot more than Barry Sanders, undoubtedly one of the top players on NFL history

What is a fair trade for Fitzgerald?
Arizona just drafted Floyd this year so they have a second WR.

Would a 1st and 2nd from St. Louis be enough?
If so, you’ve got two teams that should have the deal done by 10 minutes after the season is over.

At ~30 for a WR, he’s probably not going to bring 2 first round picks.

Karma? No this is classic Arizona. The cardinals are possibly the WORST team in the nfl. I figured with their OLine that even the mediocre QBs that they have aren’t able do do squat!!! These guys will be terrible until they get some olineman and a qb.

Funny. No talk of the Seahawks running up the score. I guess the Patriots are the only team that can do that.

Why would Fizt jump threw hoops to get out of a contract to go play for a losing team that’s years away from being a champion , if the Cardinals respect him at all they won’t trade him to a loser either …..

@patsfiend: No way the Pats would pay that kind of money. It WOULD be interesting to see how anyone would defend against Welker, Gronk AND Fitz , (and Hernandez, and Edleman, and…sheesh!) though. Hell, Ridley would probably run for 300 yards per game in that situation!

Man… can you imagine him on the Pats or Denver?

Chilling.

As a Seahawks fan, if I can’t have him on my team, I don’t want him in the division… and as a Larry Fitzgerald fan, I’d really love to see him with a great QB tossing it to him. Warner’s tenure was too short.

Having Brady or Manning throwing to him would be something incredible. Whether you’re a fan of Broncs/Pats or not, if you’re a fan of football, it would be amazing to see.

if I were famous twitter would make me cringe. Parents and friends speaking on my behalf with brilliant analysis. From a sports writer. Wow! Arizona sucks. Really? Dont u think they know that.
I would hate to walk in that locker room. Its like mom showing up with you in class. Twitter lets your mom show up in class without leaving the house.

Can you blame the Cardinals? All they have is defense. They couldn’t figure out between Skelton and Kolb due to Skelton jumping out on top as Kolb would always get injured somewhere. So the QB you want is only really playing because the other guy gets a thumb injury here, a foot injury there, etc.

What happens? That guy starts and struggles. The other guy? He comes in and and wins

The problem? As said..the only thing the Cards have is defense.

What does that mean? It means no O-Line and multiple ribs detached from your sternum is what it means. MULTIPLE RIBS DETACHED FROM YOUR STERNUM.

The result? Season over cause that guy isn’t coming back any time soon and the others can’t play at all.

When they were 4-0 I said they’ll be like last year’s Buffalo Bills and got nothing but thumbs down. Right now they’re wishing they could beat the Bills.

I love it when those in the national media refer to Larrys dad as a legitimate sportswriter. He writes for one of those local neighborhood shopper papers back in Minn. look it up, but not that there’s anything wrong with that.

That said, for all the Viking fans who want Larry to come home, may I reference Herschel Walker. Feel free to google that one too .

The Cardinals have contacted Usain Bolt to run their Wildcat offense. Barry Switzer will help them install the wishbone and utilize Bolt on 90% of the plays. The other 10% is what Fitz’s dad wants. What a freakin train wreck!!!!!!!!

I don’t feel sorry for Fitz. He used all the leverage he had to squeeze every penny he could out of that team. He could have easily played out his contract & walked away. He’s the one who lobbied for Kolb (great move there). This ain’t high school; he’s a grown man who opted for cash over the realistic possibility to be on an annual contender. I’d like to see Larry be a man & not try to force his way out of the desert, seeing as he did ask for this.

This game was bad enough to make Arizona fans look back fondly on the Derek Anderson era in Arizona. While they didn’t win much with Derek they got the occasional touchdown and a few first downs in a game.

This was a super bowl contender under Kurt Warner. Given the huge difference before he retired and after. Start carving the statue. Kurt belongs in the Hall of Fame on the first opportunity to induct him.

Improvement is only a draft away. Look at the rookies lighting it up this year. QB’s are coming out of college much more NFL ready than ever before. There is hope, just not for this year.

Yep, I agree Fitz Jr, decided he wanted to chase the money rather then sign with a better team. Dad can not save him now.

Can we please please not refer to Lynch as a great RB? The guy is in his 7th year and averages 4.1 per carry. This season, his best ever, is 4.6. A very good season but nothing “great”. Adrian Peterson is great. Lynch is good.
