30. Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals are a team of extremes.

You want to look at the bright side? You can imagine a world where Kyler Murray, Larry Fitzgerald, Chandler Jones, David Johnson, Budda Baker and Patrick Peterson all play up to their highest potential and the Cardinals finish with 7 or 8 wins.

However, you could also tell me that their terrible offensive line holds back the progression of Murray while also stifling Johnson. Or that the rookie WRs all struggle to adapt to a tough division. The “other” guys on that defense could also be a huge concern whether you look at defensive tackle, linebacker or a group of cornerbacks that is absolutely uninspiring.

In the hands of an experienced coach or a real stud college coach I could see this team being guided to success. However, I have little confidence in Kliff Kingsbury guiding a group of grown men after being mediocre for his entire college career as a HC.
