With the Arizona Cardinals hot on the trail of a new head coach and no quarterbacks on their roster you can look at the Cardinals coaching situation as a chance at a blank slate or it looks like a bad situation.
That’s why the continued articles about the Arizona Cardinals and being linked to quarterbacks is so interesting.
Why are the Cardinals being linked to quarterbacks without a coach who is in tow?
That leads me to a couple of thoughts:
- Steve Keim has his plan of action for a new quarterback, no matter the coach. He knows the biggest failure of the Bruce Arians era, outside of not winning a Super Bowl, is the fact that the team was not prepared for this. They don’t have a single quarterback under contract, they didn’t prepare for life after Palmer, they are in the same situation that the Cardinals were post Carson Palmer.
- They’re not interested in any of these quarterbacks, the media is creating a story. Not that they are not interested, but they are not going to make a decision about a quarterback, bridge or of the future, without a head coach or offensive coordinator in tow. Why saddle a coach with someone they don’t want?
In the end, the Cardinals are in a position they have been in far too often while in the desert. Searching for an answer at quarterback.
Yet, I don’t know if finding an answer at quarterback with no coach is the best order to go in.
