Other possibilities: New Orleans Saints, San Diego Chargers

This is kind of like the Patriots only with a shorter time frame. Carson Palmer at best has one more season. Similar things could be said about the Saints and Chargers with aging Brees and Rivers.

The Cardinals also have some key weapons. John Brown looks a lot like Ryan Switzer and Larry Fitzgerald is a quarterback’s best friend. Bruce Arians is also great at developing young quarterbacks having worked with Ben Roethlisberger and Andrew Luck.

Negatives: The offensive line has not been solid. The defense has been up and down. Larry Fitzgerald’s time is coming to an end.
