    Draft Thoughts

    Couldn't agree more. I think it is one reason the Cards have been busy putting together a dominating OL, blocking TE, top-rated RB in the draft, and moving away from smaller WRs (bigger WRs are bigger blockers for the run game). A strong run game will move the ball down the field and keep our D...

    Draft Thoughts

    Breaking News! We don't have a #1 overall draft pick making a quarter of a billion dollars playing D. PS--We took into account the performance level of the entire team to come up with an expected .500 level play. A lot of responsibility does indeed fall on our QB---that's what happens with his...

    Falcons Penix/Cousins Debacle. What say you?

    First Take with Stephen A, Shannon, and Dan discuss the Penix pick: The most cringe-worthy part is the press conference with General Manager Terry Fontenot and Head Coach Raheem Morris. R Morris sees himself as Taylor Swift and GM Fontenot as Kelce. Say what? They provide the Falcon rationale.

    Falcons Penix/Cousins Debacle. What say you?

    They passed on every player on the board from pick #8 to the end of the draft. Take a look at one of the Falcon Fan forums---many were looking for D. The talent on the O and skilled positions is great. They are in a weak division and wanted a top D player (Edge Latu gets mentioned a lot). Of...

    GeorgiaCard88 and FB94, We are giving plenty of leeway for KM to be 'successful.' GC88 and I are looking for a .500 record and FB94 is going with 6+ wins. That is not a very high expectation for our QB. I guess we are good with KM getting a participation trophy for 2024.

    Falcons Penix/Cousins Debacle. What say you?

    Agree. NLF went through 66 starting QBs last---that shows the need for having QB1 and QB2 on the roster. It wasn't that long ago that teams would draft their QBOF several years before their starter was going to retire. The newbie would sit on the bench, learn the game, and come in fully...

    Draft Thoughts

    In your opinion, what's going to be the W-L record for a make-or-break season? How many wins do the Cards need under KM for you to say it was a successful season and we continue on with KM as our QB? I've been using the Detroit Lions as a model for how a bad roster evolves into a contender...

    I cannot find a source that states 'Green later confirmed that the miss communication was on him (not "miss communication" but 'miscommunication' unless there is a young lady involved). Can you provide a link? If you cannot, please say so. You don't need to spend $99.00 on a leadership course...

    I don't need you to tell me what I said. Just because my opinion does not line up with yours, it doesn't make me a troll. Why don't you add some substance to the conversation instead of scolding me over some nonsense about what you want to tell me what I said??? "Hey, where's Bob?" "He fell...

    Draft Thoughts

    You're right that Payton jumped the shark on the notion that you can't cut a high-priced player based on salary cap issues alone. Sean Payton made the call that Bo Nix was more valuable than Russell Wilson + cap hit + drama. Cards FO did not make that same calculation with KM and potentially...

    Draft Thoughts

    When KM went to the ground after the missed connection with Green, he threw Green under the bus for the miss. His actions were those of a self-centered player and not those of a team leader. A team leader always takes responsibility---even when it is not his mistake. It is vital to keep the...

    Draft Thoughts

    Are you seriously suggesting that I block quote myself in my response? I summarized my statement into a single sentence. Are you a KM fanboy looking for something to dislike in my comments? If you get to the point of my post you will see that I doubt how much of a leader KM is. Now, if you...

    Draft Thoughts

    Ridder started 17 games for Atlanta and went 8-9. He had a high INT rate but that is nothing unusual for a newbie QB. He has more game experience than Tune. He had some great plays mixed in with some real bonehead moves. One thing he did do is get us a return on Rondale Moore before we cut...

    Draft Thoughts

    We are chained to KM because of his contract and guaranteed money. SK signed off on the deal that made him 'our guy.' I believe JJ, Penix, and Nix were still on the board at 4. My guess is that our FO did not see any of those three as value over KM + cap hit + drama. I wanted the Cards to...

    Actually, he is 'SK's Guy.'

    All the melting snowflakes in Phoenix and Chandler are not going to make KM 'the guy.' My opinion as a fan is subjective. If you disagree, please post your subjective opinion.

    Is that all you got for a reply??? I stated that he injured his ankle and took the month of November off. Which is exactly what happened. He missed three weeks and the bye week. I didn't say he was faking an injury or was pouting over the loss. He took the month of November off. Snowflakes...

    "The Trade"

    Yes. Most teams have built their D to be pass-D first. You get lighter, quicker guys on the DL, lighter LBers, and fast DBs. That tactic leaves them open to an OL manned by dinosaurs who can smash-mouth at the line and then rumble into the 2nd level and maul a skinny LBer or DB. Cards are...

    Draft Thoughts

    The AJ Green brain fart in the endzone was a huge disappointment. I’ve never heard a believable explanation as to what happened. One rationale was that the play was changed at the line and AJ didn’t hear the call and instead proceeded to block his DB out of the play based on the original play...

    Draft Thoughts

    I hope you are correct. Would love to see MHJ as ORY with 1,400+ yds and Michael putting up 1,000+ yds as a solid #2. At some point, we also need to see KM for who he is. He's played with several future HOF WRS including Fitz, DHOP, AJ Green (yes, look up his career stats), his best bud...

    Draft Thoughts

    Yes. You got my point---damning with faint praise. McBride's numbers with KM should be way better than those with Dobbs when you consider that Dobbs was brought off the street and started. He didn't have an entire off-season with the playbook and coaching staff. Dobbs opened eyes as to how...

    Draft Thoughts

    I should have said that James Harris was the first black QB in the NFL. You should have said that Marlin Briscoe was the first black QB to start a game in the AFL (not the AFC of the NFL but a separate league known as the American Football League.) The American Football League (AFL) was a...

    Draft Thoughts

    KM is currently a mid-level average QB. I agree with this Aug 2023 ranking that has him at #14 league-wide: https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2023/08/25/kyler-murray-rank-nfl-quarterbacks/ For KM to rise above that characterization, we need the other pieces of the puzzle to step up. For the...

    "The Trade"

    Adams was a big part of the run game for Illinois (along with our new TE). Believe he moved around the line as well playing some RT. To me, it looks like the Cards are putting together an OL of great run blockers and that may be the rationale of picking Adams over Beebe.

    Draft Thoughts

    We went 1-3 over our last four games with a loss to the Whiners, the Bears, and the Seahags. We beat the Eagles. That victory was a combination of JG’s knowledge of his old team, the Cards wanting to rally around their new HC, sub-par play by Hurts, and our ability to hold on to the ball for 39...
