It seems that most years the Arizona Cardinals get talked about more and more having to do with quarterbacks, and with good reason. In 2014 the Cardinals used four different quarterbacks over the course of the season, Carson Palmer, Drew Stanton, Logan Thomas and Ryan Lindley. The two things we learned were: 1) Don’t play the St. Louis Rams (losing both Palmer and Stanton to matches vs. our NFC West foes) and, 2) be sure your depth chart can support the level of play you expect from your team.
Make no mistake, Bruce Arians firmly believed that the Arizona Cardinals could win the Super Bowl with Drew Stanton at QB instead of Carson Palmer, and, maybe, just maybe, if the defense had held up, we could have lucked ourselves into a first round bye, and game-planned our way to the dance, but that didn’t happen.
