For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Cardinals walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Newton. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
