This time around, it's Terrell Owens . Again.

It hasn't even been one whole month since the Cardinals said good-bye to arguably the best quarterback in their franchise's history.
But after everything that's happened, is it too wild to imagine the Cardinals dropping right back to where they were three or four years ago?
