    Any truth to the rumor that GB called AZ about Marvin Jr? I would ask for M Golden straight up, he would be good in the slot.

      Not that I know of. MHJ for Golden and a Day 2 pick feels like adequate value right now

    I agree with you Sam, I don't want to see a QB drafted this year, not even round 4 or later. The only QB I would like to see added out of this group is a UDFA.

    My reason for this is I think that JB is our best chance of winning this year and even if they add a 3rd or 4th round QB, I doubt national and local pundits would stop yelling until that QB is in there. It's the only way to give JB a fair shot. Can you imagine how insufferable the PHNX guys would be if we got Allar in the 4th round until he was starting? And I think he is a terrible QB.

    In addition, every UDFA QB would want to come to AZ if we don't take a QB cause they will all think that it's their best shot at a QB job. I bet even the 6th and 7th rounders won't be telling teams not to draft them hoping they can get to AZ.

    Plus I like Berhen Morton, and I think you can get him as a UDFA.

    Simpson is betting on a weak QB class to hide his limited tape. He’s turning down NIL millions now because his camp knows he’d be the 6th guy off the board in 2027. He’s not a franchise savior; he’s just Josh Rosen in a Crimson Tide helmet—polished mechanics with a low ceiling and "buyer beware" written all over him

      Fanboys in Az media are drooling over themselves for him….then again they are almost always wrong…

    I am just hoping that all the buzz around Simpson is just another Bidwillian smokescreen. I don't even think Simpson as good as Rosen in college.

      Simpson definitely wasn’t even Rosen in College. Rosen was a very good starter with a number of years starting games

  Drew Petzing Deserves More Praise Than Derision                                       image courtesy of @azcardinals.com By Walter Mitchell On X yesterday, there was this chance for Cardinals' fans to grade Jonathan Gannon, Drew Petzing and Nick Rallis thanks to @BirdmanofAZ. Bird Droppings @BirdmanofAZ Bye week report card.......coaching staff Jonathan Gannon ________ Drew Petzing ________ Nick Rallis ________ Here are the average results thus far of the fans' grades: Jonathan Gannon: D Drew Petzing: F Nick Rallis: C Why is it that Drew Petzing has drawn such abject scorn from Cardinals' fans? Going back to last year, the PHNX Cardinals media site has been waging a daily campaign to see Drew Petzing get fired, that is if he can't coach up a weekly magical connection between Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. This season, in light of Kyler Murray's inconsistencies and Marvin Harriso...

 Clayton Tune: The Fateful Path of an NFL Legacy by Walter Mitchell photo: @azcardinals.com via Instagram During the second night of the 2023 NFL Draft, Clayton Tune received a call from the Green Bay Packers. The Packers wanted to assure Clayton of their interest in drafting the University of Houston quarterback at some point on day three.  When the Arizona Cardinals selected Clayton Tune with the #139 pick a day later, he was surprised, given that the Cardinals had not expressed any significant interest in him during the pre-draft process. The Cardinals were not one of the six teams that brought him in for 30 visits (Texans, Saints, Browns, Steelers, Bucs, Giants). Tune had also been given a private workout by the Rams. The eventual link the Cardinals had to Clayton Tune was that Israel Woolfork was one of his coaches at the Senior Bowl. At that time, Woolfork had just finished his second year of a Bill Walsh/Bill Willis coaching fellowship with the Cleveland Browns.  A...

 Was Will Johnson's Red and White Interception Staged? by Walter Mitchell photo thanks to Tyler Drake at Arizona Sports Cardinals' 2nd round pick, CB Will Johnson of Michigan, is off to a fabulous start just 10 days into training camp.  Will Johnson has come to the Cardinals just as advertised. He is a keenly instinctive zone cover corner who reads his man and the QB extremely well, which enables him to jump routes and make timely pass breakups and interceptions.  In man coverage, he lacks the requisite recovery speed to stay sticky on speedy receivers. But that's ok, as long as the coaches match him up with receivers whom he can run stride for stride with.  We have yet to see whether the 2024 concerns about Will Johnson's tackling, which may have been due to injuries. With him presumably taking over Sean Murphy-Bunting's starting role, the coaches will have to hope that he tackles way better than SMB (29.4 2024 PFF tackling grade). If you look at Will's 2023 ga...
