NFL fans have joined together to collectively roast the Arizona Cardinals after a video of truly terrible play surfaced on Twitter … I mean X.
Arizona Cardinals Offense Is Lacking
Quarterback Colt McCoy launched a football into the back of cornerback Marco Wilson’s head, who immediately ducked for cover.
McCoy must have mistaken where he was and thought he was in the Jets-Browns preseason game, where another player was pelted with a football to the noggin.
Didn’t you know you’re supposed to have eyes on the back of your head? Well-seasoned WRs often can compensate for incompetent throws, but that’s a hard ask.
The Arizona Cardinals have the lowest win total in the NFL at 4.5 wins.

NFL Fans Roast the Cardinals
Fans have rallied on social media to drag the Cards for a throw that not even the preseason could love.
Fans responded to the video with tweets like these:

I bet this man wishes he was still a Raven.
Instead he’s in Arizona catching passes from Colt McCoy at training camp. pic.twitter.com/M3h7MWukyp

Other fans come to the rescue of McCoy, pointing out that one bad play does not define a player. The veteran quarterback also had some incredible throws. Although fans don’t find that particularly reassuring.
dudes see one play from practice and think it defines the entire season 😭 why are we acting like Colt McCoy is our QB for 16 games lmfao? https://t.co/PyKZO0b3pc

Fans Warned the Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals fans have been calling the team out since the 2023 NFL Draft. Many fans are attributing a lack of success to poor choices by the people at the top. A ball to the head feels like the final icing on the cake.
These GMs that don’t even try to draft around their “franchise “ QB need to go. Brandon Beane’s drafts have been very similar to AZ. Just replace LBs w DL. First 3 rounds Beane has drafted Zero WRs and 1 OL. This Bills fan is losing patients

Let’s draft one of the smallest quarterbacks ever and expect below average linemen to help him! Their draft strategy is beyond terrible

When will NFL Franchises learn?
How Did the Arizona Cardinals Get Here?
Kyler Murray tore his ACL on December 12 on the third play of the night when he planted his leg wrong. Not only did the Cardinals lose to the Patriots 27-13 in that game, but they also lost their starting QB.
Murray took the rest of the season off and is expected to miss games in 2023 too. When asked when he was going to return during training camp, Murray said, “Every athlete who’s dealt with an injury like this … an athlete knows when they know.”
It’s not a set answer; Cardinals fans do not have a confirmed timetable for Murray’s return to the gridiron. Later may be better, even if it doesn’t feel like it.
Rushing players back can make them more vulnerable to future injuries. Long-term, we definitely want Murray to come back when he knows it’s right.
That being said, it definitely doesn’t make it any easier to watch the backup quarterbacks perform like this. Throw us something better, McCoy!
Rumor has it the team is allegedly struggling without their fearless leader.
𝗥𝗨𝗠𝗢𝗥:
We have been hearing the #Cardinals have had a "slow" training camp thus far."Both offense and defense are totally out of sync, they miss having their leader Kyler out on the field".

Dak Prescott is also on the active “roaster” list with this throw:

Kyle Trask is giving Baker Mayfield a disconcerting run for his money for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ starting QB spot with this throw to Russell Gage:

Alvin Kamara is on the hot seat for his Las Vegas assault incidents, receiving a three-game suspension to start the season.

And Jamarco Jones gets the boot for starting too many training camp skirmishes. The OL should be reminded that only Travis Kelce can get away with multiple fights in camp with no repercussions.
