John McNulty was put in an interesting position with the Arizona Cardinals. He had a contract to coach for the Cardinals, but then an old colleague, Greg Schiano, got hired to be head coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Schiano wanted McNulty to be his offensive coordinator, but the Cardinals said no, as they could block the interview request per league policies.

Instead of being bitter, as you never know how often a promotion opportunity will come up again, he maintained communication with Ken Whisenhunt, Michael Bidwill and Rod Graves and discussed things about the team. He impressed them so much that they moved him up from receivers coach (his job last season) to QB coach.

McNulty was on Arizona Sports 620 Thursday afternoon and spoke of the job and the quarterbacks.

As Arizona Cardinals fans, Kurt Warner pretty much walks on water. Most would say that his career is worthy of the Hall of Fame. He did not have the longevity, but he had two parts of his career in which he played at a higher level than almost any other quarterback. He went to three Super Bowls, winning one and, more importantly, taking the Cardinals to within a couple of minutes of a Super Bowl win.

Now as a member of the media, he is frequently asked about whether other QBs are worthy to be part of the Hall of Fame. Recently, he made some waves about Eli Manning, saying he is not worthy yet, even with two Super Bowl titles.

With the offseason now officially here, Peyton Manning Watch will begin. Most are familiar with the situation. He is due a $28 million bonus. As such, combined with his recovering from neck surgery, it looks likely that the Indianapolis Colts will release him before the March 8 date when he is due that money. If that happens, there will be a bunch of interested teams, reportedly including the Arizona Cardinals.

One thing that could be a concern for teams is the contract they would have to offer him to get him to their team. However, it is being reported by ESPN that Manning is willing to work out a contract that includes little or no up-front, guaranteed money.

Today at about 5:30 EST the newest Pro Football Hall of Fame class will be announced. The good news for Arizona Cardinals fans is that this year we have a former Cardinals player who is a finalist. We know that doesn't happen too often, but Williams has been the best player we have seen since the Cardinals moved to Arizona. Larry Fitzgerald is now in play for the best player in franchise history, but Williams was a beacon of greatness during some of the worst years in the team's history.

Does he deserve to get in? Cardinals fans certainly think so.

The coaching carousel continue to spin in the desert. Xtra 910's Mike Jurecki reported via Twitter yesterday that the Arizona Cardinals have promoted assistant coach John McNulty to quarterbacks coach. McNulty was set to interview with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for their vacant offensive coordinator position, but was denied by Ken Whisenhunt and the Cardinals front office. Kent Somers noted that this was likely because of his talent and ability to coach in many areas of the game. It appears that the Cardinals have chosen to take advantage of those talents.

The good news is that the Cardinals have now filled their quarterback coaching position, so that search is over. The bad news? They now need a new wide receivers coach.

It was reported yesterday by multiple media outlets that Peyton Manning, the Indianapolis Colts' future Hall of Fame quarterback, has been cleared to play professional football again by two different physicians. The doctor that originally did the surgery on Peyton's neck, Dr. Robert Watkins, believed that Manning could have played this Sunday if the nerves in his arm had fully repaired.

His neck has fully healed, but Manning may take until May to be back in working condition, so says an ESPN report. So what does this mean for the Arizona Cardinals? Find out after the jump.
