Terrible way for the Cardinals to end this season, especially if it's to be Fitzgerald's last.
I'm left with one question; who had more to do with Lindley's return to the roster? Bruce Arians or Steve Keim?
I have found Arians' decisions to be nearly flawless since taking the helm two years ago and I'd like to think this wasn't his idea. We already knew Lindley, and him being 'familiar with the system' doesn't mean shit when he can't play under any pressure whatsoever.
Bringing back Lindley from San Diego's practice squad was always a panicked desperation move. He was never somebody we were going to pick up and keep. So why was he allowed to start as many times as he did when Logan Thomas, who by all accounts is a better long-term development prospect, could not have conceivably played any worse than Lindley and, frankly, would have probably grown more under the additional reps.
