    Cards 2019 Schedule

    Raiders may not even have a home field advantage this year as it's entirely possible that fanbase checks out since they are going to Vegas in 2020. Being on the road may be a blessing in disguise for them.

    The Myth That Mobile QBs Don't Take Sacks/Hits

    4 out of 5? Dak is mediocre and the Raiders have been rumored to want to move on from Carr. The jury is still out on Watson but he has been injury prone thus far, possibly because of the fact that he takes so many sacks. Part of the reason Wilson takes so many sacks is because Seattle's OL...

    What Does Kyler Murray Really Want? - SI Article by Robert Klemko

    Interestingly, I think Rosen's biggest strength may be his ability to handle adversity and based on Keim and KKs comments in their pointless pre-draft press conference, they seem to think so too.

    GM Steve Keim and Kliff Kingsbury press conference. 4/16/19

    If we're going to do the whole reading into every little nothing statement thing, then I'll point at that when KK was asked about his time with Rosen thus far and his grasp of the system, KK said "I think he'll pick it up fast." "He'll" meaning he will. Future tense. Meaning he sees Rosen...

    Anti-Murray Poll

    Because most of the reputable talent evalutors graded Rosen coming out very similarly to what they've graded Murray. NFL.com had Rosen at 6.2 and Murray is a 6.25. Kiper had Rosen higher. Most of the places that are high on Murray like PFF are not as reputable among NFL experts.

    Josh Rosen put in worst situation of any rookie QB in history

    I think that's true of Murray if we put him on our roster as currently constructed. I don't buy Kingsbury turning this offense around until we actually get some more talent. I don't think our OL is any better than it was before training camp last year when everyone was healthy. I don't think our...

    The Latest on Rosen

    I get that it is a value play on their part. But you also don't give up a 2nd or 3rd round pick for a guy who you don't think can play. If you listen to some on here, Rosen is one of the worst QBs ever because the numbers he put up last year were terrible. If the Patriots thought his numbers...

    The Latest on Rosen

    Tom Brady lacked the elite tools to elevate his team too. He was an unathletic guy who couldn't even secure a starting job in college. JaMarcus Russell had elite tools and he sucked. Being a successful QB is a different equation than other positions. Physical attributes are not and never have...

    The Latest on Rosen

    The Patriots want him. I'll trust their talent evaluators over guys on the internet or frankly our own front office.

    Was watching the Christian Kirk interview

    Yeah, I know. That was kind of the point. Saying we need a little more escapability that Murray will bring is saying that we don't need guys who get rid of the ball quicker like Brees and Brady. I'm not even trying to argue for Rosen here, I'm just trying to argue against the notion that holding...

    Was watching the Christian Kirk interview

    I based it on rush attempts last year. Guys with 50+ rush attempts were considered mobile. I'm fine with disputing who belongs where to some degree, but I think the general concept of how often guys chose to run vs how often they chose to pass should be the basis for this myself.

    Was watching the Christian Kirk interview

    I think your argument is that mobile QBs keep plays alive longer allowing for more chances for the WR to get open and good things to happen. That may or may not be true, but I think it's interesting that it's typically the pocket/statue QBs that get sacked the least and the mobile ones that get...

    How stupid will we look?

    RW had way more experience in college than KM did. Wilson played in 50 games (I think all as a starter) and had 1489 pass attempts. Murray played in 29 games with 14 as a starter and had 519 pass attempts. That added experience for Wilson likely made the transition to the pros easier. Side...

    Have conviction.

    It's a shame the guy is wasting his life playing football when he could clearly cure cancer, end poverty and cause world peace instead.

    Have conviction.

    Doesn't change the fact that when a huge guy hits a small guy, it does more damage than when he hits a bigger guy. At the very least, Rosen proved his durability last year. Maybe Murray is durable too, but it's hard to say since he was never really tested in college. He certainly didn't play...

    Cards meeting today (3/19) in OK with Murray

    It only takes 1 person to start a rumor. Sports media makes rumors up out of their @$$ all the time.

    Have conviction.

    My irrational fear is that we take Murray and he gets injured badly by whatever pass rusher the 49ers take. Knowing Keim's luck with 1st round picks it seems nearly a given that this will happen actually. Cooper, Humphries and Nkemdiche all have had a horrible time avoiding injury. DB and...

    Have conviction.

    This makes no sense to me. So everyone who doesn't kill it their rookie year automatically has a higher bust rate than any draft prospect? That's basically what you just implied. Does Rosen have a higher chance of failing than Haskins, Jones, Lock, Finley, Grier and every other QB who might get...

    Nitpicking Nick Bosa

    He did stuff at the combine. Pro day and combine are largely redundant but there's a big difference between not doing stuff at either and only participating at one. Also, Bosa technically left OSU back in December. Was he even still allowed to use their facilities for a pro day? How does that...

    The Sunk Cost Fallacy

    The problem is that it's often hard to know when something is a bad investment or just needs more time. Most businesses run a loss their first and second years before breaking even and eventually becoming profitable. That doesn't mean they are sunk costs and you should close shop after a year...

    Murray may not run at Pro Day Today (3/13)

    When a guy shoots up the draft boards post-combine instead of during the season, it's cause for hesitation. When a guy does it without doing any drills and merely taking measurements; measurements which put him as inferior to everyone else at his position; and still shoots up the boards: Buyer...

    Murray vs. Rosen College

    College stats never paint a 100% clear picture when the talent levels are so widely varied and the conferences often have widely different playstyles. Oklahoma is one of the top programs in the game and probably the top program in the conference over the past decade. It's typical is loaded with...

    How credible is Matt Miller? Interesting things he said.

    If you draft Murray, you're also passing up on the chance to draft Bosa. It's not just Rosen vs Murray, it's Rosen+Bosa vs Murray. Trading Rosen will probably not net us anywhere close to the level of player that we could simply draft at #1 AND it will cost us the ability to sign another player...

    Cards get 4 comp picks

    1st pick, last pick, and picks in every round means that all True Cardinal Fans™ will have to watch the ENTIRE draft. 3 extra 7th rounders means it's a good year to draft a kicker to compete Realistically, I think many of these comp picks will be used to help us move up slightly. If we can...

    Hello everyone....plus my biased take on Bosa vs Allen

    Bosa was projected #1 in most early mocks from before the season even began based on how he looked as a freshman and sophomore. The nature of his injury is such that it shouldn't hurt his draft status (not a lingering issue and he should be 100% at the combine). I don't think his status is based...
