One of the most exciting players drafted by the Cards. A fast RB/WR out of Oregon named Bobby Moore.

Neil Lomax's numbers stack up as one of the QB's to ever lead the Big Red.

Do you remember who it was that hit Lomax in the hip and cut short his career Smitty? That injury cut short a time of growing into a major player for the Big Red. The Cards future was looking better at that time too, as Lomax was turning into a better Jim Hart. What could've been...…,<sigh>

Some really awesome picks here.
When I visited Green Bay this season I was really impressed with how they memorialized their past. A full on team museum, an enormous teamshop that had just about anything a Packers fan would want, and tours daily. We are the oldest franchise in the NFL and I believe the Cardinals do a horrible job of highlighting their amazing past. Obviously Green Bay has tons of impressive history to display and the Cards don't necessarily have to go that far but I feel like they don't really try either. Just seems like a missed opportunity.

Obviously Green Bay has tons of impressive history to display and the Cards don't necessarily have to go that far but I feel like they don't really try either. Just seems like a missed opportunity. Some teams are viewed as NFL icons. The Packers franchise lucked out by winning a few Super Bowls during the early part of the SB era and at the same time the 3 big TV networks (NBC, ABC, CBS) started broadcasting NFL games nationally. Early winners drew more viewer attention and the TV marketing followed the burgeoning fan demand. Lombardi was a telegenic neanderthal that became quotable because he was, IMV, coaching a legend named Bart Starr! Without Bart Starr's Sunday skills, there would be no NFL Championship trophy named after a caveman head coach. The Cardinals franchise is viewed as wannabes, always wanting and hardly ever delivering. One SB appearance after the 2008 season does not make a team an icon except in the minds of dedicated Cardinals fans. Stumbling around in the loser basement for a century does not build fan demand anywhere. Moving from city to city kills fan loyalty. The team was run by tightwads and grifters for years. In the last 10 years the Cardinals leadership has worked to reinvent the team name and give Arizona fans some hope that the basement years are ended. Winner's success is still fleeting though as demonstrated by rights to this year's first pick in the 2019 Draft! If Mike Bidwill memorialized the Cardinals past he'd have little positive to show die hard fans and out of town visitors. Certainly non-Cardinals fans would not be impressed with museum highlights. A team museum will be a mausoleum until an NFL Championship trophy is put on display. Every year is an opportunity to change the team's history. I'm all in.

31 years ago. On January 15, 1988, Bill Bidwill, the owner of the St. Louis Cardinals football team, announces his plans to move the team to Phoenix from St. Louis. He said he decided to seek the move for "competitive reasons." One of the last plays at old Busch Stadium. Neil Lomax tosses the ball to no one on a messed up RB sweep play.
