    Who starts at QB game 1?

    Agree. Having Bradford and Glennon signed meant that the Cards did not have to force the issue with a high-round draft pick.

    Who starts at QB game 1?

    I agree with that when BA was here. Separation of authority with SK final say on the draft (MB veto power?) and BA for the on-field decisions. SK got his BPA in the draft and BA red-shirted him for a year.

    Do you have consensus from your board members that it works? They'll probably agree on the facism part. The trick is to allow a consensus decision on issues that are not that important to you. Then your board members will all agree what a great leader you are.

    Who starts at QB game 1?

    Who makes the call on which QB starts? SW? SK? MB? Who has 'final say' or is it a consensus decision?

    Who starts at QB game 1?

    My first reaction when they signed Bradford was that the Cards had the outside hope that he would become the starter for the next 5-to-8 years. Something akin to lucking out with first Warner and then Palmer. Bradford is only 30, former #1 overall pick, former Offensive Rookie of the Year...

    'Revenge of the Birds' floating idea that Bradford gets traded if Rosen beats him out: https://www.revengeofthebirds.com/2018/5/1/17304726/has-a-door-been-opened-for-sam-bradford-to-be-traded-arizona-cardinals-josh-rosen-nfl-draft

    How is what you are describing not an example of reaching a consensus? The person-in-charge has a consensus with his second in command based on their past working relationship. What started out as a disagreement resolved itself into a consensus opinion Good managers in any organization will do...

    Who starts at QB game 1?

    You do if you are the Chicago Bears. https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2018/2/28/17013626/bears-release-mike-glennon-salary-nfl-free-agency-quarterbacks-2018 Cards may have put themselves in the Bear's scenario when they made the move for Rosen. It looked to me like they were going all in on...

    Who starts at QB game 1?

    Who takes the L? We've got a lot of new pieces to mesh together---from the entire coaching staff, new playbook, new QBs, new WR, sort through the OL players to see who starts, a star RB who hasn't played contact ball in over a year, etc. Unfortunately, all of the 'new' translates into some...

    Who starts at QB game 1?

    I'm anxious to see how the QBs are used in preseason. Do they get equal time with the first-string OL? Is Bradford the defacto starter with little preseason play? Looking forward to seeing how the guys compete and how the decision is made.

    Who starts at QB game 1?

    Are the Cards going to have an 'open audition' as starting QB between Bradford, Glennon, Rosen? All three QBs will be learning the playbook together. None have any connection or established chemistry with any of the O players. They'll all be throwing to Kirk/Fitz/etc for first time. Rosen is...

    Did a quick websearch on the question "Why did Josh Rosen drop in the NFL draft" Todd McShay pre-draft predicts Rosen falling down the board: https://ftw.usatoday.com/2018/03/todd-mcshay-nfl-mock-draft-josh-rosen-drop-red-flags Kiper pre-combine...

    That would be a pizzer. BA talked about grooming a QBOTF before he rode of into the sunset---wouldn't put it past Belicheat to get the final word on revenge and leave the Pats with Grandpa Brady. Seems like the Pats are always grooming QBs that other teams covet---some move on and have...

    Mods---Thanks for taking the time to respond. Ditto all the nerds who chimed in with their knowledge of the situation.

    Buffalo and Arizona both had Allen as QB1

    Why do you think he dropped to the 4th QB taken at the 10th pick? I gave my guess---toward the end of my reasons I had his mobility/speed as a possible reason. If a team is looking for a mobile QB and wants to include roll-outs, designed runs, etc---wouldn't you agree that those issues would...

    Final call (or last word) comes into play when a consensus can't be reached. That's why it is final say/last word. For example, you and I both agree on player A. We have a consensus of opinion so we take player A in the draft. You and I cannot agree. You like player A and I like player B...

    Joint discussions/decisions are different than 'final say.' What did you expect at the press conferences? SK: "I make the final call with MB having veto power. Our new HC is in the room to fetch the coffee and donuts."

    The draft picks belonged to SK, not SW. Our new HC was just along for the ride. A DB-minded HC would have picked a CB at the top of the draft to play with, not a C.

    Guess that was the reason Matt Leinart fell to the Cards.

    Buffalo and Arizona both had Allen as QB1

    The jury is still out on Rosen and whether he is an elite pocket passer at the NFL level. He has not played a down in the NFL. UCLA called a lot of primary-option quick-pass plays. Rosen will have to hone his ability to go through his progressions at the next level because the D will sniff out...

    So far, a QB that is protected and able to make plays from the pocket without suffering extensive damage. Shows how a good OL can elevate a QB. Remains to be seen if they get it all together teamwise to take the next step. (PS I'm not a fan of the Cowpies. There were just a team that has...

    Buffalo and Arizona both had Allen as QB1

    We are talking past one another and I don't think we will come to any kind of agreement as to why Rosen dropped to 4th QB taken. That he dropped is a fact because that is where he was taken in the draft. Behind our current OL, Rosen's comparative lack of mobility/agility or whatever you want to...
