The Arizona Cardinals have been, without question, one of the poorest performing organizations in the history of the National Football League.
They have the longest drought in NFL History, and the Jaguars have had 4 division titles since their team inception, while the Cardinals have only 3 since their NFC West divisional shift.
That’s...rough.
That all changed, however, from the 1988-2005 Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals when the team’s days at Sun Devil Stadium in the hot 118 degree August heat flipped to a beautiful, state-of-the-art NFL quality stadium in Glendale, now known as State Farm Stadium.
Suddenly, the team needed just one successful season behind two star receivers and a “washed-up” QB born again in the second half of his career in the desert in Kurt Warner and they went from being down in the druthers of the rest of pro football to being capable and able to make the playoffs, or even a run.
