    My Draft Objectives

    You’re on a roll, Harry. Keep ‘em coming. Just wondering, but how much do you factor in so-called “leadership and lockerroom intangibles.” Seems to me that when we added a few character veterans, our offense and defense got better. Could leadership traits work equally as well as a predictor for...

    Idea: Cards trade Murray for draft picks and then trade for Baker Mayfield.

    My scariest nightmare centers around our trading away a game-breaker for a bunch of meh players. Failing to develop a high-potential superstar is always a risk. But drafting clear talent only to give in to impatience and letting that talent escape - relegates the team to an endless cycle of...

    Draft: Top 20 for pick 22

    If you believe there’s a plateau of talent at #23, you should use the pick to fill a need or trade down for a pick or three. But if a clear game-changer should drop down to #23, jump on that puppy and don’t look back. What I don’t want us to do is (1) draft a meh player or pass on a a clear...

    Let’s Talk War-Rooms

    Harry - Your War Room description should be required reading for anyone interested in the Draft - i.e. blindfold was removed and now we can see.

    Card's Schedule Just Got Tougher

    Strength of sked is overrated. Just win.

    Draft: Top 20 for pick 22

    Chopper - When in doubt, go BPA. You can’t predict when Hudson will get injured or retire. And there’s no reason why you couldn’t groom or stockpile Linderbaum before starting him for 10 years. Love the player-specific write-ups. Someone here should collect all the info and create an ASFN...

    Kirk to Jaguars

    Kirk reminds me of the SNL characterization of Lyndon Johnson “& his semi-beautiful daughters.” Kirk was a a “semi-beautiful WR.” Good for depth and an occasional big play, but not one of the elites.

    Need a Wr…

    After finally upgrading our defense to near-respectability, we’re asked to tear it down so we can add another quality WR. There are more talented WR’s than there are quality safeties. & I love Metcalf and Jeudy. But I think swapping out a Pro Bowl S for a quality WR is a high-risk proposition...

    Not to overreact, but it seems to me that too often, AJ Green disappointed in clutch situations and cost us a couple of games, Want to ride that pony when we need a big play next season?

    Free agency thread 2022

    Cards need to get stronger in run defense. i was hopimg they would nab Foley (sp)Kafusi. With Foley off the board, Wagner becomes the top signing option.

    Cardinals 2022 UFA Priorities

    Treat UFA as one of a bunch of tools geared toward maintaining the same talent-level of the team plus improving its run-stopping, pass coverage production and smart-football skills. This will take the combination of UFA signing acumen, drafting skills, cap managing smarts, player development...

    Arizona Cardinals offseason thread 2022

    The down-side of drafting to fill a need and foregoing BPA is that you underdraft from round to round - i.e. pass on a 1st round talent in order to, say, plug in a 2nd round TE or 3rd round pass rusher because you need one badly. The most I’ll concede is that we bend the rules by drafting the...

    Mock Variance

    The lack of quality depth at key positions suggests a BPA strategy - or close to it. Targeting one player or position - especially this year - is like pulling for an inside straight and following a pathway to mediocrity.

    Kyler + Coaching

    Stout - None of us are as good (or as smart) as we think we are. During my 77 years as a Cardinal fan, I’ve seen the hard-nosed approach work…and fail. I’ve seen a warm, nurturing approach do likewise. Fire everybody only to see the approach fail. Give Kyler another year or 2 only to see him...

    Big school? Small School? Schmall school? Zoom in on the athlete who can help us most, and pick him.

    Kyler + Coaching

    Yup, we’re overreacting. We came up short 2 years in a row. Our starting QB has growing pains. We’re at the stage where you continue to chase the brass ring,while covering our bets with a talented backup QB “just in case.” What we shouldn’t do is blow the dang thing up a year or 2...

    Arians' Path To The Draft

    Other teams have a higher ratio of hits to misses. More teams develop their youngster better.

    The sign of real problems

    The Cards are still a year away from where they want to be. Danger is - everyone gets impatient and they blow up the entire deal a year too early. Then they start over again. There's plenty to whine about, but I'd rather ID and fix the problems instead of tearing things down yet again. Set...

    The sign of real problems

    32 teams..Half of them well-coached or astutely managed. They all can't make the playoffs...let alone Super Bowl...Then there's injuries and other visits by lady luck. Every team can't win. And so you fire the coach. Now I have no problem changing regimes if the team is haunted by chronic...

    OT: Brian Flores Suing NFL Alleging Racism

    When you look at the whole deal in toto, something's rotten. There's a lot of hiring unfairness, good old boy system among the owners etc. Yet owners have the obligation to their fans to hire the coaches they feel they can best win with. And all things in between. (If a black coach were...
