Although the Arizona Cardinals need an answer. We’re down to single-digit days before the draft and he needs to let Steve Keim and the fanbase know what he’s doing. I won’t have a problem with whatever his choice is- even if that does mean heading to another team whose closer to a Lombardi than the only team he’s played for in the NFL.
It comes as no surprise that there are a handful of wide receivers in this draft that are touted as game-changers. Perhaps one of them does fall to 16 and is drafted- what will happen if that rookie never sees playing time being buried on the depth chart? Sure he’ll learn from the players, but Kyler Murray just has never thrown to Larry Fitzgerald. With only 1200 yards and 5 touchdowns over the last two years, it’s sad to see and even think about this.
Of course, DeAndre Hopkins coming in for 2020 will do that, and Hopkins’ work is appreciated. Although I wonder what would’ve happened had Fitzgerald been given some deep routes instead of Andy Isabella looking more lost than ever. I’d like to think that A.J. Green, who credited Fitzgerald with so much praise and life lessons would be a reason for him to return among all of the moves Keim made.
Once again, this is not an attack on Larry Fitzgerald. This is just the most critical year this team has ever faced and heading into a 17-game season who knows what will unfold. After almost three months since the last time we saw Fitzgerald with the team, I think it’s okay to ask for a decision so that way the team can plan accordingly.
Larry, we love you and are just looking for direction as we head into a very important part of the offseason.
