Arizona Angst

Things haven’t been going so well for the Arizona Cardinals ever since their embarrassing loss to the New Orleans Saints in the Divisional round of this year’s playoffs. Possible Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner retired and over the last few days the Cards have lost several key impact players to other teams. Anquan Boldin finally got his wish and was traded to the Baltimore Ravens while starting safety Antrel Rolle signed with the New York Giants and stud linebacker Karlos Dansby decided to become part of the Miami Dolphins. I know the Cardinals still have Larry Fitzgerald, Darnell Dockett along with some possible emerging stars in Beanie Wells and Steve Breaston, but they have taken a huge step back in recent weeks.

I think it is safe to say the Cardinals recent run is over and the door is now wide open for either the Seahawks or 49ers to step up and win the NFC West. Ken Whisenhunt is a good coach, but they have a lost a lot of talent and Matt Leinart simply isn’t the answer at quarterback.
