A better signing than the Buc's acquiring Richard Sherman, imo. I like this signing.
I would have taken Sherman over this in a heartbeat..and I can't stand Sherman...but this is the difference between teams that win superbowls...and
teams that have never won anything Rimrock, you made me cogitate a bit this Thursday morning. Q: Sherman as a Cardinals player? Hmmm? Why? Why not? IMV, no way does he contribute to the Cardinals D. Sherman can play for any team today but should consider the Jaguars and Texans first, the two most needy teams that could use a man with Sherman's august professional talents!
I did some research on the question of Who's Who for NFL Championships.
Just two (2) teams have never won anything: Jaguars and Texans. Five (5) more teams won pre-Super Bowl era championships dating back to the old NFL, including the Cardinals.
There are many differences between the 20 Super Bowl haves and the 12 Super Bowl have-nots. Despite the world’s biggest sporting event being more than 50 years old, more than one-third of NFL’s teams have yet to earn the title of NFL/Super Bowl Champions! The AFC's and NFC's Super Bowl Champion have-nots are listed below.
I bolded the seven (7) teams that have zero (0) NFL championships of any kind dating back 100 years.AFC Teams Still Seeking Their First Super Bowl Championship.
Buffalo Bills. Super Bowl Record (0-4). Last appearance: 1993. The Bills made four consecutive Super Bowl appearances following the 1990, 91, 92 and 93 seasons. Key players such as Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas and Bruce Smith helped the franchise to establish dominance over the AFC, but the Bills could not capture the ultimate prize.
Cincinnati Bengals. Super Bowl Record (0-2). Last Appearance: 1988. The Bengals fell to San Francisco in both of their appearances following the 1991 and 1998 seasons. In SB XVI, Cincinnati outgained the 49ers by 356 yards to 275 margin, but four turnovers doomed QB Ken Anderson and company. SB XXIII saw the Bengals leading 16-13 with 3:10 left. However a successful Joe Montana drive helped pull the championship away from the Bengals.
Cleveland Browns. No Super Bowl Appearances. The Browns championship success was generated prior to the Super Bowl era when they won NFL titles in 1950, 1954, 1955 and 1964.

Tennessee Titans. Super Bowl Record (0-1). Since the former Houston Oilers (no Super Bowl appearances) moved to Tennessee in 1997, the franchise has earned one Super Bowl berth. The Titans culminated the 1999 season with NFL title match against the St. Louis Rams in which the Titans fell narrowly to the St. Louis Rams.
NFC Teams Still Seeking Their First Super Bowl ChampionshipArizona Cardinals. Super Bowl Record (0-1). Last Appearance: 2008.
