The Arizona Cardinals currently sit at 1-4 on the season with a lot of problems. Things have not gone the way many had hoped, which can naturally lead to unhappiness in the locker room.

Thus far, the team has publicly shown a united front and support of their coaching staff, but according to AZCentral Sports’ Bob McManaman, it isn’t as united as has been stated publicly.

“There’s a lot of unhappy players in the room,” he said on FOX Sports 910 this week.

“It’s a bad mood. It’s a bad energy.”

He spoke particularly about the unhappiness on offense.

“It’s very uncreative and unimaginative on offense, the playcalling, and a lot of the guys on offense aren’t liking it,” he said.

And what might come as a surprise, despite the results on the field, there are those who still believe Sam Bradford should be the team’s starting quarterback.

“In talking to some players, I think it’s split as to whether they should have even gone to Josh Rosen,” McManaman said. “There’s a lot of guys that still wish they had Sam Bradford as their quarterback.

“A lot of guys still think their best chance to win, and those were direct quotes from people I’ve talked to, probably is to stay with Sam Bradford.”

Bradford has been around the block in the league and has been good in pretty much every place he has played. He was also voted as a team captain, so he clearly has the respect of his teammates.

And Rosen, being a rookie, has not yet earned that respect. It is understandable that there are some on the team who think the veteran is probably the better option to win.

That said, all it will take to win those players over is a couple of wins and smart play from Rosen. He has not been great, but he has been better than Bradford, who looked mentally broken the last time he was on the field.

Right or wrong, there is no way they could go back to Bradford. And after Rosen has looked good, getting the team in position to win a game and getting a win in another, it is hard to think it wasn’t the right way to go.

Perhaps there is a split. That is why improvement has to happen. If Rosen puts them in position to win games, those players will be won over.
