I've been a big supporter of Dennis Green since he was brought in as the new Cardinals head coach. I questioned his faith in Josh McCown, but gave him the benefit of the doubt. I wondered why he wouldn't want to keep Jeff Blake around as a backup, but figured he knew what he was doing.
I hope Denny proves me wrong. Maybe Emmitt fell victim to the Cardinals' curse, and maybe he's got more game left in him than I think.
As usual, though, Marcel Shipp is a 100% pure class act in his response. He has never said a negative word about the organization, even though time and time again he is cast aside as a backup, only to be called up when the guy ahead of him doesn't perform.
I predict that Marcel will once again become the number one guy. If Emmitt doesn't perform, the fans will boo him out of the stadium.
After all, he's a Cowboy at heart.
