I’ll put Colt McCoy up there with Drew Stanton as “decent backup QBs” for the Cards. They kept us in the hunt & although most of it wasn’t too pretty they did their job and worked their ass off for us👏🏾

Tune will currently contend with as of late gained Josh Dobbs for the beginning position. In spite of the fact that Cardinals lead trainer Gannon guaranteed they wouldn’t distinguish a starter since they had a “upper hand,” it appears they as of now have a competitor as a top priority.
