While there is a debate on the rest of the roster, their is an unquestioned reality that having Mendoza if you believe he can be a franchise guy, is better than the Cardinals options at quarterback, thus negating basically all other roster construction questions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If Kubiak decides to go back to Seattle to wait until the next coaching cycle, then it would say a lot about both moribund franchises.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The problem seems to be, that all the \u201cinsiders\u201d continue to say it isn\u2019t likely Kubiak would come to Arizona, so are the Cardinals wasting their time?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Is pursuing Kubiak the right move?
