Time for some links, also does anyone who watched the Sugar Bowl have any thoughts about how Ryan Mallet played? I thought he looked good until the final minute where he threw a Pick while he was under pressure inside the Ohio State 20 yard line after Arky blocked a Punt. His accuracy seemed okay, but it seemed like he wasn't very good throwing when he was under pressure. Overall, he looked good against a good Defense.

Auburn's Cam Newton represents a bright future for some lucky NFL city
For some lucky sports town, Cam Newton is the future. Wish he could be ours. The Auburn quarterback is tall, handsome and a freak on the football field. He has a million-dollar smile and a playful attitude. And as he walked off the practice field at Scottsdale Community College on Tuesday afternoon, he looked for the perfect spot to conduct his first interview in Arizona.

azcentral.com blogs - Bruce Cooper Blog - BruceCooper - Tick... tick... tick... Cardinals are on the clock
The time has come for the Cardinals to look themselves straight in the mirror and identify their mistakes. They then need to draw up a plan to correct the mistakes while understanding where their biggest needs lie and how they can best address them. And I don't mind offering my opinions and help:
Ken Whisenhunt Facing Critical Juncture With NFL Offseason And 2011 Draft - Desert Dirt - SB Nation Arizona
Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt had some strong words in his weekly press conference, this one being the final one of the season. It probably could be summed up in one quote referring to players achieving less than their potential: "Their goodwill is all used up." With the 2011 NFL Draft, free agency, and a possible work stoppage looming, he has some important decisions to make. However, it is hard to determine how much he is including himself in his criticisms.

Arizona Cardinals 2010 Season in Review: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly | Bleacher Report
For the Arizona Cardinals, it's all over—as they say—but the crying. As their season came to an end, the Cardinals began a new year in the worst possible way, losing 38-7 to the San Francisco 49ers.

Arizona QB Woes Continue: Who Will Get the Snaps for the Cardinals Next Season? | Bleacher Report
The Arizona Cardinals had another pitiful performance against the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday, losing the game 38-7 and finally putting an end to their dreadful 5-11 season. The rookie quarterback John Skelton started the game and completed 14 of his 25 passes for 92 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. These stats don’t sound all that bad, but take a deeper look and you will be just as disappointed as I was.

KTAR.com - Wolf: No apology necessary from Wilson
Adrian Wilson is going to his fourth Pro Bowl. Most people say he shouldn't be going to Hawaii this year. They say he didn't earn it. They say he had a bad year. And let the record show that Mr. Wilson agrees with them. But he won't apologize. A player that is Pro Bowl worthy typically suffers from a Pro Bowl lag that seems to be law, an axiom for those receiving Pro Bowl consideration: you typically go a year later than you should and hang on a year longer than you should. No need for apologies here, AW.
