Will Arizona be able to win with Ryan Lindley?

This season is really nothing short of a miracle for the Arizona Cardinals because they have won over and over again despite injuries to the quarterback position.

Head coach Bruce Arians has really done a stunning job of holding this team together, despite all the changes under center, though you wonder if his luck is running out.

Carolina has been playing pretty good defense the last few weeks and Cam Newton will challenge the Cardinals defense. Stepfan Taylor is a decent running back, but he’s not quite up to carrying the load for Arizona, but that’s Ok because the offense features three excellent wide receivers in the form of Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd and John Brown.

This will be a very hard game for Arians’ team even though the Panthers are sub.-500. They’ve started heating up at the exact right time while Arizona is struggling just a little bit.

Cardinals quarterback Ryan Lindley has a very thin margin for error. Can he avoid the big mistake?
