Observers of the NFL are not exactly being shy about what they are thinking of the Arizona Cardinals.
Reading Twitter Friday night, it was obvious fairly quickly that the Cardinals are becoming the butt of jokes.
Buy Commanders TicketsThe Cardinals are clearly tanking, not leaving to chance that Colt McCoy might pull out a win or two this season. They sent McCoy the pink slip in hopes of getting the first or second overall draft selection in the 2024 NFL draft.
Fans and football media are taking their turns lobbing bombs at the Cardinals organization from the top, to the head coach, to the players on the roster. The over/under for the win total in 2023 for the Cardinals is only at 4.5.
Already the speculation is public that the Cardinals didn’t want to take the chance that veteran quarterback Colt McCoy might actually lead the team to a few wins this season. Now the odds are much better that the Cardinals will finish the 2023 regular season with the highest or second-highest draft selection. This would enable them to draft the quarterback of their future, allowing them to rid themselves of Kyler Murray.

Scott Abraham counting out the Cardinals in Week 1
Let me put it this way in regards to Terry McLaurin maybe missing Week 1.
If the Washington Commanders can’t beat the Arizona Cardinals at home even without Terry…it’s going to be a longgggg season.

Scott Abraham already calling for a double digit win
The Washington Commanders are set to face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1 of the NFL season.
At QB, Arizona will now start either Josh Dobbs or Clayton Tune.
You would think Washington should win this game by double digits.
I will be stunned if the Commanders lose the opener.

Cards fan already calling for Michael Bidwell to step away from football operations
Michael Bidwell needs to step away from day to day football operations for the Arizona Cardinals. He needs to name Monti Ossenfort President of football operations and General Manager.
He needs to step away and distance himself from the team. Just write and cash checks, that's…

Cardinals fan, no fan of Colt McCoy
If the Arizona Cardinals were truly tanking, they would have kept and started Colt McCoy.
Anyone saying otherwise didn't watch McCoy this offseason.
Ossenfort sunk one of his precious 2024 picks for a guy in Dobbs that gives them a better chance until Kyler Murray returns.
