It was a pleasant Sunday.
The Arizona Cardinals we're on a bye week, there could be nothing in the football world to get fans upset.
Of course, coming off the embarrassing loss in London, losing Carson Palmer to an injury, there is a growing sentiment of frustration around the team from the fans.
That means, even on a day when they're off, the Arizona Cardinals fans doing something to get upset about.
Watson said the Cardinals told him they would take him, if he was there at 13. Trade up if you want someone, especially QB.

Watson stated he was flown out here & could see himself in a Cardinals uniform. You don't fly someone out you aren't interested in.

The parent tweet has since been deleted, but Cards fans were in no mood for Deshaun Watson to put up another massive performance, this time against the Cards NFC West rival, the Seattle Seahawks.
Hey Darren, any thought to why the Cardinals didn’t prioritize Watson? https://t.co/6MVthqrqfO

This is a truly unanswerable question, because I don't think it was them not prioritizing Watson or any quarterback for that matter, as much as it was not spending too much capital.
They prioritized getting younger and faster on defense and did that with Haason Reddick and Budda Baker.
Texans traded in front of Cardinals to draft Watson and everyone passed on Wilson, but it would be nice if the Cards took a QB

Not a shot at Mr. Blavin, but as I always say, I don't care that 31 other teams are stupid (really just 15 or 16), but I definitely care when my team is.
We could have a Russell Wilson or Deshaun Watson, but instead the Cardinals have Dancemaster Drew Stanton overthrowing everything.

Kinda grateful that the Texans traded up to get Deshaun Watson; otherwise, I’d be furious at the Cardinals for inevitably passing up on him

That's absolutely the best tweet out of all of them… I laughed for a while.
The Cardinals are going to end up with Darnold, Rosen or Falk and they’ll probably regret not trading up to draft Watson or Mahomes https://t.co/wYcxKoCZgb

This is how the Seahawks fans feel coming out of that game:
Let's be thankful Deshaun Watson is not on the Cardinals or Niners

At least the Cardinals just didn't make a move up for him. Also, I'm very glad SF was dumb enough to pass on him... Twice.
