Warner overcame the odds, silenced his doubters, won the starting job and eventually led the Cardinals to their first Super Bowl appearance.

Ep. 767 - According to many, they are the team to beat in the NFC West. They’ve won the division in each of the past two seasons, and the roster – at least on paper – looks every bit as good once again. Of course, we’re talking about the San Francisco 49ers. Craig Grialou is joined by Lindsey Pallares, team reporter for 49ers.com, to discuss all things 49ers. Topics included quarterback Brock Purdy enjoying a healthy offseason (very similar to Kyler Murray); running back Christian McCaffrey showing no signs of slowing down (not good news for Cardinals fans); and for the third time in as many seasons the defense will be under the direction of a new coordinator, though defensive end Nick Bosa remains and the team signed Leonard Floyd (10.5 sacks last season with the Bills).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Not all players are created equal – especially when it comes to who will make the greatest impact this season. It’s all guesswork sure, but Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck hold their own Impact Draft. The rules are simple: Once draft order is determined, each gets to pick the most impactful Cardinals from 1-9 (three picks each) in order. Sure, there are some obvious choices, but I’m sure no one will be surprised when we hear an unexpected name or two. Every draft has that, right?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
