Arizona Cardinals look toward a new future
The Arizona Cardinals just finished a very difficult season this past weekend. They lost their final game to the Los Angeles Rams and ended the year with only three wins. This marks the fourth year in a row that the team has had a losing record. Because things have been going so poorly the team has some huge decisions to make very soon.
The biggest question is what will happen with their star quarterback Kyler Murray. He was only able to play in five games this year because of a foot injury. Many experts believe the team is ready to move in a different direction and start fresh. If they decide to let him go they could save a significant amount of money to spend on other players.
If the team decides to move on they might use their high draft pick to find a replacement. Many people think they should pick Fernando Mendoza who plays for Indiana. He has been called the best quarterback in college football this year. He is a very tall and talented player who is famous for making very few mistakes on the field.
Mendoza has put up incredible numbers lately with dozens of touchdowns and very few turnovers. He is not just a great passer but can also run the ball when he needs to. He will be playing in a massive college playoff game this Friday. Arizona fans are watching him closely to see if he could be the person to save their franchise.
The Cardinals currently have the third pick in the upcoming draft. This is a great spot but there are two other teams ahead of them that also need a quarterback. The Raiders and the Jets might also want to pick Mendoza before Arizona gets a chance. The team might have to trade up to the first or second spot to make sure they get him.
Everything feels like it is about to change for the football fans in Arizona. Whether it is a new coach or a new quarterback the team needs a spark to get back to winning. Starting over with a young star like Mendoza could be exactly what the team needs to get people excited again. It will be a very busy and important summer for the front office.
