Moderatoren » For this week’s 3 & Out I sat down with Seth Cox

Von Miller Jersey , managing editor of the Arizona Cardinals fanblog Revenge of the Birds in order to get some additional insight on Arizona before tonight’s game.Our interview has been lightly edited for clarity. 1st and 10 It seems like this is the cliff Vance Joseph has been coaching towards all season. Win this and he buys himself some time, lose and Elway has 10 days to reshuffle the staff for the rest of the season. Broncos fans know the stakes, but what do things look like for Arizona? I read a couple of posts that suggested Steve Wilks and company have fallen far short of expectations. What’s at stake in this one?It is likely that Mike McCoy is gone come Friday after the Broncos and Cardinals game no matter what happens, barring an offensive explosion that we have not seen this season. The Cardinals are one of the worst teams offensively in the NFL, in nearly every statistical category.Moreover, the hiring did not make a lick of sense from the beginning. Look at what Steve Wilks said when we he was hired.Now, let’s take a little walk down the memory lane of Mike McCoy offenses, where we see that he has had a single rushing offense in the top 16 in the NFL once as an offensive coordinator or head coach, that was in 2011 with the Broncos.Wilks will get the year, if things don’t turn around though, he may not get much more.2nd and 6One thing that the Cardinals seem to have that Denver definitely lacks is a long term answer at quarterback. While the numbers haven’t been all that pretty yet, when I watch the tape Josh Rosen shows all the promising signs you hope to see when watching a young signal caller. How do Arizona fans feel about him? The numbers don’t do Rosen justice. The rookie looks like the real deal. The only thing Cardinals fans seem to be super excited about right now is the fact that the Cardinals have Josh Rosen. Rosen looks like the real deal, despite getting little help from his offensive line DeMarcus Ware Jersey , who is the worst in the NFL.Add the fact that the Cardinals offense is archaic, its wide receivers have not been good, even future Hall of Famer Larry Fitzgerald.Also, David Johnson looks nothing like David Johnson. The Cardinals offense has done nothing to help Josh Rosen, so when you look at his raw numbers, they’re not exactly impressive, but they are not nearly as bad as they look.3rd and 11There was rampant speculation that Patrick Peterson is on the block. Back when the Broncos were 2-0 there was hope Denver would make a deal for him. It seems unlikely now, obviously but what are the odds Steve Keim deals his franchise cornerback? What do you think Arizona would want in return?I would be shocked and disappointed if the Cardinals moved Patrick Peterson, who is having a fantastic season, or Chandler Jones, who has been on fire the last two weeks.Chandler Jones (55) already has 15.5 pressures on the year. It’s crucial Bolles holds up against him.If the Cardinals even began to fake talk about it, they would have to get a massive return because both Peterson and Jones are in their primes, on really good contracts for their play and play the most premium of positions. If you are selling Shannon Sharpe Jersey , it better be for absurd returns, like multiple day one and two picks, or a young offensive lineman (again, worst OL in the NFL) plus an early pick.I don’t see it happening, if it does, what little fandom left may completely mutiny.4th and 4What do you think the keys to the game are for Arizona this Thursday?Are the Broncos any good at running the football? No matter the answer, right now it does not matter, because even if you are the worst running team in the NFL like the Minnesota Vikings, you should still run all over this Cardinals defense.If the Broncos can get Lindsay and Freeman past the first level of the Cardinals defense it should be a long night for Arizona. The Cardinals have to find a way to stop the run on defense and force a struggling Case Keenum to beat them. If it doesn’t happen, then they need to find an offense that hasn’t been there for six games so far in 2018.David Johnson has to get back to being the best running back in the NFL, take some of the pressure off of Rosen and more importantly, take pressure off Mike “Up the Middle” McCoy.It is unlikely to happen, but who knows this NFL season.I will say: Broncos 21 Karl Mecklenburg Jersey , Cardinals 16. Both John Elway and Peyton Manning found themselves in the Top 10 of this all-time list." Denver Broncos NewsNFL.com ranks the 25 best quarterbacks of all-timeNew,86commentsBoth John Elway and Peyton Manning found themselves in the Top 10 of this all-time list. MDTShare this storyShare this on FacebookShare this on TwitterShareAll sharing optionsShareAll sharing options for:NFL.com ranks the 25 best quarterbacks of all-timeTwitterFacebookRedditPocketFlipboardEmailIt’s the offseason, so its prime season for all-time ranking lists of all kinds. Elliot Harrison of NFL.com ranked the 25 best quarterbacks of all-time and the Denver Broncos had both of their Super Bowl winning quarterbacks in the Top 10.The top two were Tom Brady and Joe Montana, which are probably good choices there. Brady has been to more Super Bowls than any two quarterbacks and Montana led the first true football dynasty with the San Francisco 49ers. At number three, former Broncos and Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning made the list.From there, I begin to disagree. John Elway comes in at ninth and while I could easily homer him into the Top 5, I decided to be more realistic. After Manning came Johnny Unitas, Otto Graham, and Drew Brees. I like the homage paid to NFL history, but after Brees I would argue Elway belongs no lower than seventh here. Dan Marino and Roger Staubach had Hall of Fame careers, but one could only find success in the regular season and the other didn’t have much in the way of statistical success. Elway had both success in the playoffs with five Super Bowl appearances and outstanding statistical success.What do you think? Is Elway ranked slightly lower than he should be here?Broncos NewsNFL News
