I'm stealing this idea from another SBN site because I think we've all been beaten to death by some stories while some other stories get swept under the rug or under reported for whatever season. I'll try to stick to the story lines related to the Cardinals.....

• Anquan Boldin situation: I'm glad the Boldin talk has died down since the draft but I'm sure it'll get stirred back up once camp starts so I'm including it. If he shows up on time he'll have to state how he's still not happy and won't ever be happy and all the media guys will scurry to the typewriter (yes I know they don't use typewriters anymore) to pump out a story about how he needs to be traded before the season starts or he'll be a major distraction. If he doesn't show up, they'll all scurry to the write the exact same story. The bottom line is that Boldin is a Cardinal and that won't change until after this coming season if at all.
  
• Running Game Woes: The Cardinals couldn't run the ball last year right? Worst in the league? Oh well the offense was still amazing and we've upgraded the talent at running back. It's not like they can get any worse. Worst case scenerio is that the running game is still terrible and the offense plays to it's strengths, wich is throwing the ball 75% of the time. Go ahead, Kurt doesn't mind. 
• Curses the Cardinals Face this Season: Between the Super Bowl losers curse and the Madden curse the Cardinals should be dead on the side of the road by their bye week, if you believe in all that. There is no such thing as a curse as far as I'm concerned and if the Cardinals falter this season it won't be because of a video game or a game way back in February. Every team deals with injuries and every team must over come hardships during a grueling 16 game season. The teams that deal with those bumps in the road end up playing in January. The teams that look for someone or something to blame, end up preparing for the draft in January.
  
• Karlos Dansby's contract: I know this is a story that we have to talk about but it's just giving me 'tired head.' We're going to money whip him to get him to stay and I get the feeling that we're all split down the middle on whether he's worth top 5 (or maybe even top 3) LB money, which is what it'll take to get him. Either way, at least this story will die in the middle of July.

• Gabe Watson's Knee: Color me scared to death of another season without a fully healed Watson. He had to go in for a second knee operation earlier in the off season and even though it was a minor, "clean-up", surgery you just never know how a joint on a 330 pound player is going to respond to two operations in a year's time. I know Bryan Robinson did the job last year but he's not a true 3-4 nose tackle and the middle is going to be soft if he has to play there as a starter (and I won't even mention that other guys name). If Watson isn't ready to go by the start of the season, I'm not sure we can go full-fledged 3-4. 
• Michael Bidwell's Effect on the Franchise: As much as I hate to admit it, I'm no expert on the inner workings of the Cardinals front office but it just seems like to me that the franchise is turning in the right direction the more than Michael steps to the forefront. He was the spear head in the fight for a new stadium and is one of the lead guys in bringing the Super Bowl back to AZ. From some of the things I've read he's still sort of handcuffed by his dad's 'thrify' ways but the future looks pretty bright with him at the helm.
  
• Extension for Whiz: I'm somewhat surprised that the Cardinals haven't announced an extension for head coach Ken Whisenhunt after his success last season and I'm even more surprised that Urban or Somers haven't really mentioned it either. We are talking about the franchise's all time leader in playoff victories right? Who cares if he's got two years left, he should be locked up for the next ten.

Thoughts? What else is over rated or under rated?
