2017 Record: 8-8 (3rd, NFC West)
Outlook: The Cardinals won their last two games of the 2017 season to rally for a .500 finish in Bruce Arians’ swan song. Considering the instability at quarterback (Carson Palmer, Blaine Gabbert, and Drew Stanton each started at least four games), and the injury to stud running back David Johnson in the season opener, a break-even year wasn’t bad.
Now, the Cardinals are banking on Sam Bradford bringing some consistency under center. Larry Fitzgerald is back after one of the best years of his career at age 34.
