Arizona Cardinal of the Week: Super Bowl Edition

Warner was Man of the Year, so he doesn’t need a CotW award. ::wink:: Unless that will help him to come back next year then we can give him the first half of the season’s CotW Awards since we started late.

but the onus is on Pendergast for calling terrible plays on the Steelers’ last drive. Why he would call that all-out blitz was beyond me and duly pissed me off (and I’m a Giants fan). I was pulling for you from NFC championship to the SB.

Looking at the positives though, even though you left without a title, you got the respect of NFL fans everywhere. The thought process of the casual football fan regarding the Cardinals and seeing the Cards on your team’s schedule has completely changed. Everyone has gotten to know the talent of Dockett, Wilson, Hightower, Breaston, Urban… the team is solid and that shift from being perceived as a crappy franchise to a team of quality players that are a real threat is priceless.

great game guys btw!

Anyone who says warner wasn’t fantastic is crazy. I’ve read it places actually if you were wondering what the hell I’m talking about. Won’t name names, but anyway. Warner made ALL the throws really on Sunday. Dinked and dunked; I remember one beautiful softly thrown ball to the flat with just the right trajectory. he threw the slant well; picked apart Pitt’s zones. Did a good job with his eyes keeping Polamalu off the radar of where the ball was really going.

Special performance by him outside of that one play on the goal line.

That was Dockett’s best level of play, ever. But Warner was surgically dissecting the best defense in the NFL and taking the Cardinals one pass at a time towards a win.

Breaston get’s my third vote. Amazing play from our #3. He’s a #1/2 anywhere else.

but I predicted early on that Dockett and Breaston would have big days. (And they did, especially Breaston early, when the Steelers were blanketing Fitz)
