Drew Stanton carted off the field and no Logan Thomas for the Cards? Where is he on their depth chart? Or where was he, fourth?

More on that here: Three Thoughts: Despite losing Drew Stanton, Arizona Cardinals get it done again - NFL - SI.com

"Ryan Lindley, who was just signed off San Diego's practice squad when Palmer fell, did little beyond holding down the fort here. He finished 4 of 10 for 30 yards and a couple of near-interceptions.

The last time we saw Lindley in any prominent form before Thursday was in 2012, when he was pressed into starting duties for Arizona as a rookie. To put it mildly, he was awful. Lindley finished that year with zero touchdowns and seven interceptions.

He still may well be a better option than current rookie Logan Thomas, a fourth-round pick who probably needs several seasons under Arians' tutelage before he can be considered a legitimate option. Even that could be pushing it. To toss him into the mix now, with the division and conference titles on the line and the playoffs approaching, would be an incredible gamble.

"[We] went with Lindley over Thomas because of experience," Arians said afterward, a rather clear indicator of his forthcoming plans should Stanton miss time."

Oh yea, a whole 7 "games" of experience... none of which (that I can tell) were starts? And boy oh boy has he lit it up when he's been in there:

I'm not saying Logan IS a viable option for them right now, but he has to be as good or bad as Lindley. If Arians doesn't agree, I'm thinking LT is already a forgotten man in AZ. The "experience" reference is joke. Hell, even in age, Lindley is only two years older than Logan.

Not a good look for LT.

That's two years of NFL practices Lindley has been in that Thomas hasn't. Or put another way, better than 200% more. Now, he has stunk it up, no question. For that reason I would be very concerned if he stayed above Thomas for long, barring massive improvement. But to come in ahead of him for one game... Surprising but not necessarily a death knell for LT's chances with the Cards.

What are the changes that Dadi comes back next year/declares?

 

[hokiegrad]

I'd say pretty good he'll be back. He had a great year but if he needs to switch to LB in the NFL he probably doesn't get a top 2 rounds projection.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

I think he will be back. If he doesn't come back, God help us at DE.

Bruce Arians announced that while Ryan Lindley will get the start for the Cards in their next game, Logan Thomas will have some packaged played. I wonder if Stiney FedEx'd him the "3rd and Logan" play sheet

Run nothing but Inverted Veer and QB sneaks.

Logan Thomas likely to start next week versus sf.

I really hope he does well. I know he's super green but he can't be any worse than Lindley. At the very least, he can be better than Manziel!

Found it surprising that if LT starts, he'll only be the 4th VT QB ever to start a game in the NFL.

I believe it's 5th... after Strock, Furrer, Druck, and Vick.

Logan Thomas just came in one play to run a read option play.

The Cards were so bad that I don't see why they just didn't toss in LT and have him plow into the line play after play with an occasional throw. They sucked ass. Surely LT couldn't have done any worse. It's the playoffs. Might as well throw everything out there.

I remember Williams said he was a Cowboys fan growing up, maybe that also has something to do with it? I would've taken the money elsewhere personally.........

Big catch by Fuller to get them out of the shadow of their own end zone.
