With Brian St. Pierre On Back Burner, What Are The Cardinals Plans Now?

Based upon their behavior, and based upon what I would do in their situation, I would say they are awaiting the results of the draft. This is a very smart move if that is what they are doing as well. BSP really isn’t going to garner much interest elsewhere so they aren’t exactly risking losing him to another team. If they do, well, it isn’t as if he is irreplacable. So, waiting is not a problem. By waiting, they have the ability to upgrade that position by drafting a quarterback late in the draft OR a solid qb option may fall unexpectedly into a mid-round position and they may take the shot there. Either way, it’s the chance to upgrade that 3rd QB spot. If they do so, they’ll really have no need for BSP and can save money by not signing him.

As for Bulger, I still think it is a waste bringing him here. We are already paying Leinart and this is THE YEAR we need to see what he can accomplish. We are already paying Anderson and he is a fairly solid backup option to Leinart. What is the point in bringing in and paying another aging veteran as our 3rd stringer? Yes, he could be our 2nd stringer instead but then we will be paying DA to be our 3rd stringer and it is still the same situation. There’s no rhyme or reason for it. One could try to argue that it would be for additional coaching, but we have enough coaches on our coaching staff and Leinart has had Warner to learn from and will have Anderson now. There’s no need to bring Bulger here. We don’t need 3 startin QB’s and, if we had Bulger, we’d have 3 guys that were starters before and all feel they can be starters now. That’s going to create too much animosity and not what I want. Go through the great teams, they all have clearly defined quarterback spots/roles. Ours would be confuddled, yes that’s my word, in this situation.

With Big Ben, this situationt becomes even worse. If we picked him up, he’d expect to be he starter which puts us in a dificult QB situation. Plus, I don’t see this happening as I don’t see the Steelers being okay without Ben. I’d say this is pretty much not a consideration.

Overall, our best bet is to let BSP sweat it out at home and work on possibly drafting a young QB to groom and possibly replace or backup Leinart in a few years.

We’re still talking about our third-string QB, and none of the names being thrown around fill that role. Not signing St. Pierre tells me that there is someone in the draft we like well enough to see if he’s available, but I don’t read anything more than that into this.

its funny when warner left everyone was talking about who was gonna start.
now we talk about whos the 3 string qb? cards notsigning bsp means they have someone in mind with the draft coming up. cards will sign a veteran qb if someone gets hurt other than that look at the draft. northwestern qb, pike , leflueor or even crompton

ever joined the cards, i’d stop supporting.
3 to 4 accusations of assault on women?
disgusting.

can’t believe holmes was dished so quick, rothlesburgers trouble is far worse, if u ask me.

Bulger makes no sense any more. Never thought he did anyway. Campbell isn’t worth going after either. Don’t think I need to try to further sell either point.

Roethlisberger conjecture will happen because of the Steeler’s connection. Anyone looking past the surface should see that it’s not going to happen. Not here. There are plenty of teams he could get shipped to. It wouldn’t be a complete shock to see him traded but I still think they’ll hold onto him. The Raiders or Bills in particular come to mind as teams he could go to. I wouldn’t discount Seattle or St. Louis either. With 2 first round picks (and a Marshall deal out of the works) the Seahawks seem to have a strong position to bargain from. Wonder what the Steelers will want for him.

I don’t think the Cardinals want him, and I don’t want him.

Campbell I think has more upside than people give him credit for, he played on bad teams with rotating coaches on a yearly basis, always trying to get him to do something different.

Much the way I feel about DA. Lots of people bash him but I think he has the ability to play much better than he has the past two years.

Also Bulger, here is a guy that has been a human punching bag for a few seasons, that will take its toll on anyone. He could be yet another diamond. He knows how to play like Kurt Warner, not to say he will now, but he knows how to at least. He learned how to play from Warner and MArtz. The other QBs, not so much

think there is too much to the holding off of St. Pierre. The only reason I can tell is if they are waiting to see if a QB falls in the later rounds of the draft that they are looking at. I doubt it will happen but maybe they are interested to see if Clausen falls to 26 and take a shot on him. If they don’t find one then they would probably bring back St. Pierre. Guess it is just wait and see until next week.

I think that Pierre will be back, but he will probably come cheaper this year.
