Michael Floyd Poised For Breakout Season in 2013

Found July 17, 2013 on Gridiron Grit:
PLAYERS: Michael Floyd,  Larry Fitzgerald,  Carson Palmer
TEAMS: Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Floyd failed to live up to expectations with just 45 receptions for 562 yards and two touchdowns through 16 games (three starts) during his rookie season. His inconsistency in separating from defenders as well as his occasional mental miscues were two of the main reasons why he was unable to emerge as the legitimate complementary No. 2 receiver to Larry Fitzgerald, but there’s reason to believe that the former first round pick (No. 13 overall) out of Notre Dame will be able to burst onto the scene as a reliable receiver (and fantasy option) with a breakout 2013 campaign. Photo Credit: AZCardinals.com One of the main reasons will be the addition of veteran quarterback Carson Palmer.  Last season, John Skelton, Kevin Kolb, Ryan Lindley and Brian Hoyer combined for a 63.1 passer rating and a 11:21 TD-to-INT ratio. To put things into perspective, that combined passer rating is actually 3.8 points lower than what Mark Sanchez tallied last year. Eve...

Larry Fitzgerald misses Kurt Warner

Via Pro Football Zone  |  July 17, 2013
Go ahead non-Arizona Cardinals fans, try to name a couple of the starting quarterbacks the team has had since Kurt Warner retired three and a half years ago. What you end up with is a group of mediocre passers, none which have a chance to start this year outside of Kevin Kolb with the Buffalo Bills. So you can’t blame receiver Larry Fitzgerald when he recently said on  NFL Network...

Larry Fitzgerald Likes Minnesota Vikings

Via Gridiron Grit  |  July 17, 2013
Following the news of Colin Kaepernick wearing a Miami Dolphins hat and Cam Newton admitting he still roots for the Atlanta Falcons (when he’s not playing against them), the Cardinals’ website has reminded us that star wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald remains a fan of the Minnesota Vikings. “I grew up a Vikings fan and I would be lying to you if I didn’t say I was still...

Tyrann Mathieu Using Mike Mayock’s Remarks As Motivation

Via Gridiron Grit  |  July 17, 2013
Arizona Cardinals rookie defensive back Tyrann Mathieu enters his NFL career with no shortage of motivation. The very feisty and incredibly instinctual versatile product out of LSU not only wants to prove that he’s learned from his past off-the-field troubles and has what it takes to succeed at the next level, but he’s also apparently found added motivation in the form of...

32in32 – #1 Arizona Cardinals

Via Ultimate Sports Hound  |  July 17, 2013
by Michael Richard-Webb     The Arizona Cardinals went 5-11 in 2012, which was a disappointment compared to how the season was expected to be with QB Kevin Kolb.  After an amazing and surprising 4–0 start, it seemed they could finally get back in the playoffs, but they lost 11 of their final 12 games.

Larry Fitzgerald is a Minnesota Vikings Fan?

Via FatManWriting  |  July 19, 2013
Fans have been faced with some unsettling images of late. San Francisco 49ers fans have had to deal with their quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, wearing a Miami Dolphins hat. Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton admitted to being a die-hard Atlanta Falcons fan, and says he cheers for them whenever he isn't playing them. What the ****?

'Real QB' excites Cards' Campbell

Via Fox Sports Arizona  |  July 15, 2013
USA Today Sports Calais Campbell is a big fan of new Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer. July 15, 2013 Remember football? Yes? The Cardinals report to camp in just 10 days -- crazy, right? -- and while last year went (ahem) poorly, there's a cliche about how every team is a contender in training camp. True, it's just a cliche, and the Niners and the Seahawks are really...
