Cards ready to break through?
So far it remains unspoken at Cardinals training camp, because, for a player, it would be akin to admitting they watch The View and sleep with a stuffed animal. People just wouldn't understand. But the Cardinals could make a solid case that this is the most talented team they have had since moving to the desert. The defensive front seven has adequate talent and is deep. The club is decent at cornerback, and strong safety Adrian Wilson is among the NFL's best. Free safety Antrel Rolle should give the club another playmaker in the secondary. Offensively, the line returns. Center Al Johnson is injured, but Lyle Sendlein is a competent backup. The starting receiving duo of Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin is among the league's best. The tight-end position has been upgraded over the past year. Edgerrin James and Tim Hightower give the team some punch at running back, and one of the two quarterbacks, Matt Leinart or Kurt Warner, should come through. The coaching staff returns intact, and the team is in the NFC West, one of the league's weaker divisions for the past few years. All that might add up to double-digit victories instead of losses. But you didn't get that from the Cardinals.

I think this is the year the Cards win the NFC West. This article is pretty spot on.....the Cards have the talent to win the West, and it has the right coaching staff in place now........

O-Line has held this team up for years. If the O-Line is finally for real and playing as a unit, the Cards are a good underdog team with a chance at the playoffs. Still thinking the Texans might surprise this season, nothing says the Cards can't also.

The Cards might as well be a playoff contender that division is a joke..i mean the rams without S-JAXX is like peanut butter without marshmallows..useless...and as for the 9ers..gore is no faulk..the 'hawks are the only legit contender..however in both conferences the west is a joke..so anyone can come through

I wouldn't be so sure remember this franchise has a big history of losing. Although there's always a few surprise teams every year, odds are the cardinals won't be one of them, but you never know.

I thought this article was in the wrong section when it started talking about the Cardinals being able to win.

Some TV shows are just 'tasteless' and the View is one of them. It's dull, crass, artificial . It just lacks good taste. I'll admit to watching it years ago but it has become a soap box for each member of the 'panel'. Yuck. It's just plain ugly.

On paper they look very interesting, and may very well play spoiler, but are we not still talking about the cardinals here?! Still, looks like a team to watch.

The Cards amounting to much of anything is like saying the Clippers will win it all this year...every year there is talk but some teams are simply destined for mediocrity...

A non story. It's not like this team hasn't had talent before, the organization and coaching staff is just horrible.
