Arizona Cardinals' Draft Position Uncertain Amid Poor Season
Full Transcript
The Arizona Cardinals are struggling significantly this season, with a record of three wins and ten losses. Coach Jonathan Gannon has only 15 wins in almost three full seasons, averaging five wins a season, which is not ideal in a 17-game format.
Despite their poor performance, the Cardinals have not improved their draft position, remaining in the same spot after a lackluster game against the Los Angeles Rams. The current draft order shows the Cardinals tied with the New York Giants, Las Vegas Raiders, and Tennessee Titans, all at two wins and eleven losses.
The Cleveland Browns, New Orleans Saints, Washington Commanders, and New York Jets follow, all with three wins and ten losses. The Cardinals will need two teams ahead of them to win to improve their draft prospects, which could be challenging given their inconsistency.
Their performance raises questions about the team's morale and whether players are still committed to Gannon's coaching, particularly after what appeared to be a lack of effort in their recent game, leading to speculation on the team's future direction as the season approaches its final weeks.
According to the report from Revenge of the Birds, the Cardinals' loss to the Rams was perceived as a sign that the team might have quit on Gannon, prompting concerns about how they will finish the remaining four weeks of the season.
