Ringless, until they do it for a full season, they have accomplished nothing.
At this point last year, the Cards were 9-1 with a three game lead in the division and they went on to lose the division and their playoff game to a 7-8-1 Panther team. There is a reason for still doubting the Cards.
But last year something tragic happened that resulted in the use of a 4th String QB, 4th String RB, and all starting LB's ending up on IR as well.
That is a fluke in regards to injuries. (Using your term here) Or do you want to dispute that using 4 QB's due to injury is normal?
You see there is a difference.
Please explain to me how many Teams have used 4 QB's due to injury in a season, gone on to win the division, and a playoff game? IS it common? Is that normal?
A few clarifications:
BA chose to play your 4th string QB. He could have played Logan Thomas. Not great, but he chose to play a 4th string QB. Splitting hairs, yes, but lets not make a bad situation historic by using a bit of hyperbole.
Your 3rd string RB (Taylor) also played.
Also, I'm not seeing the LB claim. Your preseason depth chart shows Minter, Shaugnessey and Foote as starting LBers, all of whom played in the Wild Card game.....
Anyway, we could use cliche's and say that injuries happen, but to be fair, the Cards did get a tough hand last year. I think the post you responded to would have been wiser to point out that instead of doubting the Cards as a whole, rather understand that just like last year, in the blink of an eye, a season can change.
Probably would have been more applicable to the scenario.
