Mike Says: The Cardinals do not bring a lot back from last years 2-8 team and that includes no all-district players. 2nd year head coach Burton has his hands full here. Look for the Cardinals to win 2 or 3 regular season games and miss the playoffs again.

Chris Says: The sky fell in for the Cardinals last season and while I don't expect a season that bad, I don't see great things in 2014. They need wholesale replacements on both sides of the ball and that is a lot to ask in one season. Coach Burton will have a year under his belt with the Cards and they should be on board with his system, but it won't be enough to make the playoffs. I can see 4 wins tops.
