Arizona Cardinals Roster A to Z: Larry Fitzgerald
By Scott Allen
As we wait for the NFL labor situation to be resolved,this is a continuation of a series on current Arizona Cardinals players and my thoughts on the past performance all the way to whether I think they will be on the roster in 2011. I go from A and go to Z. Next up: Receiver Larry Fitzgerald
2010 analysis: Fitzgerald had his fewest touchdowns since 2006, but that wasn’t all his fault. He did have a quarterback issue to deal with. Amid the rumors of Fitzgerald leaving or being traded away, he still managed to have a decent season, hauling in 90 receptions for 1,137 yards and 6 TD. Not 2008 numbers, but fairly close.
2011 outlook: Amazingly enough, even with the 2010 numbers, 2011 can be better and should be better with the addition of a new starting quarterback. Fitzgerald never complained, at least publicly, about the QB situation. It shows his class, which along with his All-Pro talents, should be good enough for the Cards to want Fitz in the fold for many more seasons.
