Brianbase: If you had to put a % on it right now, what are the chances of the Rams staying in St. Louis in your opinion?
Jeff Gordon: In the near term, 100 percent. Within 10 years, 80 percent. There are more vulnerable franchises in the league right now and the bad economy will hurt some would-be markets.
Brianbase: If Cards make no moves, where do you predict they finish? I think betwwen 84-87 wins and 3rd or 4th place.
Jeff Gordon: The odds of them making no moves at all are nil. Do they make bad moves or good ones? How much (if anything) will they get from returning players?

If this team can hang around a while, the money available and the prospect depth will put them in good shape. But they must get more from guys like Ankiel. Ludwick and Duncan to get to that point.
Mike4265: Thanks for the opportunity to ask. Has anyone asked or answered why it took so long to "find" Glaus' shoulder? I just cannot believe he woke up one day in January with it that bad.
Jeff Gordon: It's an odd thing for sure. The shoulder was a problem last season, but not enough to merit surgery. This did hit the team out of the blue, although everybody understood there was some injury risk with this guy.
doug martin: are the cardinals paying glaus or is an insurance paying? are they saving
ten million $'s by him being on dl?
Jeff Gordon: I don't know if there is any insurance that kicks in on him. This guy had an extensive injury history, so I'd be surprised if the team had much protection there.
DBQIA: When I was a kid my grandfather used to talk about the "single wing". How does the current "wildcat" formation differ from that much much older formation?

Thanks
Jeff Gordon: I covered single wing teams at the high school level. Yes, I'm old. The single wing I saw had multiple backs and a lot of misdirection build. The Wildcat lacks some of that trickery, but, like the single wing, it features a direct snap to a versatile athlete.
