Head coach Bruce Arians has been frustratingly successful at the helm of a team that largely ignores white players. Arians has gone 35-15 in what is now his fourth season with the Cardinals, winning the division last year. Quarterback Carson Palmer has accumulated some gaudy statistics over his long career. He is probably just a Super Bowl win away from the Hall of Fame at this point. However, Palmer has drawn the ire of some CF fans for his historical preference for black receivers and, lately, his criticisms of Tom Brady.
Joining Palmer in the starting lineup are three white offensive lineman. That's it. Evan Mathis, a familiar name, has transitioned to right guard as his career winds down. Reasons to root for this team are generally limited to: beating the Seahawks. There are 13 whites on the roster, including the punter, kicker, and long snapper, and just one lone backup on the defense. A white quarterback graces the practice squad during the week.
Starters:
QB Carson Palmer
LT Jared Veldheer
C A.Q. Shipley
RG Evan Mathis
Backups:
QB Drew Stanton
C Evan Boehm
RG Cole Toner
RT John Wetzel
TE Troy Niklas
