After getting a mulligan hot on the heels of his worst season by a wide margin as the Cardinals’ head coach, just how much pressure is there on Ken Whisenhunt heading into his fifth season in the desert? After running into his first real speed bump in Arizona after three seasons in which the Cardinals’ record steadily improved under his direction, team sources believe the team’s hierarchy still has Whisenhunt’s back — at least for now. “There’ll be some heat (from the fan base), but he (Whisenhunt) is just one year removed from getting a four-year contract extension and is not in danger of losing his job by any means" said one team insider. "But there needs to be some real hope. Six wins (one win better than last season) will be a disappointment. They need to at least hover around .500 and stay in the hunt. There really is no excuse for not being able to contend in a division where the winner was 7-9.†One thing we hear Whisenhunt absolutely must do is handle the team’s QB situation much better after gambling and losing badly on free-agent addition Derek Anderson, who failed miserably in 2010.

Weird how a qb can devastate a franchise. I just don't understand the Cards. They usually pick in the upper half of the draft consistantly but just haven't drafted the right guys. If they had some decent talent evaluators lately the roster should be stacked.
that won't happen. Kinda sucks for the Card fans. Get a little taste and then slid back into mediocrity.
