The 2018 season for the Arizona Cardinals was a 3-13 calamity that was hardly the lasting impression Larry Fitzgerald wanted to leave.The future NFL Hall of Famer said as much on The Mina Kimes Show podcast, which was released on Wednesday. nfl.videoplayers[srcId] = vp = new Y.NFL.Video.Player({ flashAdTag: "http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640x360&iu=/4595/nfl.news/story&ciu_szs=300x250&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=vast&unviewed_position_start=1&cust_params=slot%3Dvideo%26url%3Dstory%26prtnr%3Daround-the-league%26team%3Darz%26conf%3Dnfc%26dvsn%3Dncw%26plyr%3Dlarry_fitzgerald%26plyr%3Djoshua_rosen%26s1%3Dstory&url=[referrer_url]&description_url=www.nfl.com&correlator=[timestamp]" html5AdTag: "http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640x360&iu=/4595/nfl.news/story&ciu_szs=300x250&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=vast&unviewed_position_start=1&cust_params=slot%3Dvideo%26url%3Dstory%26prtnr%3Daround-the-league%26team%3Darz%26conf%3Dnfc%26dvsn%3Dncw%26plyr%3Dlarry_fitzgerald%26plyr%3Djoshua_rosen%26s1%3Dstory&url=[referrer_url]&description_url=www.nfl.com&correlator=[timestamp];ord=" + nfl.constants.AD_RANDOM + "?" "We had a really bad season last year and I just didn't want to go out on that level," Fitzgerald said on the podcast, via the Cardinals' team website. Unable to put together a winning streak all season, the Cardinals began the year with four straight defeats and ended it in the same manner.When the season of struggles concluded for Arizona, Fitzgerald's future was left in doubt, but in January, the all-time great wide receiver signed a one-year deal with the only franchise he's played for in the NFL."At the end of the year, I felt like this was not it," Fitzgerald said.In his 15th NFL season, Fitzgerald put up 69 catches for 734 yards and six touchdown receptions. I can be somebody who can situationally really help the team and make explosive plays for my group." While the stability provided by Fitzgerald will remain for at least one more season, the Cardinals replaced coach Steve Wilks after just one season with Kliff Kingsbury, who boasts no NFL coaching experience. And following just one year as the Arizona starting signal-caller, 2018 NFL first-round draft pick Josh Rosen could be out too, if the Cardinals select Kyler Murray.But as many are seemingly ready to usher Rosen out of the desert, Fitzgerald gave his teammate -- even if it's just been for one season -- a vote of confidence on the podcast.
