Its...Fine.


Its the most senseless concern. Is it bothering him now? No? Then dont worry about it.


(Somehow I get to use the Magic Johnson aids example twice in 1 day in 2 different topics)

Its the same as Magic Johnson. He has aids. Could it be bad? Yes. Is it right now? Nope. So dont worry about it.

They won't expect him to play for more than 21.3 years anyway.
I know you didn't mean for this to be taken seriously... but I believe he was diagnosed at a young age, so most of that 21.3 years has already passed!

Positive ;)

In seriousness, that's why he's still alive. It hasn't become aids and is still just hiv

Remember years and years ago, where this was some kind of news that we held out for?

Looking forward to this guy on the field.

everyone said the same thing about Boehm.

If we keep drafting guys who for the most part are deemed for the most part NFL ready, at what point do we condemn Harold Goodwin for coaching the talent out of them, Mean Joe Greene-style?

Johnson didn't even look NFL ready during training camp drills - that isn't on Goodwin. And most of us were excited about the pick, not a bad risk in the 4th round. He couldn't even stand out against 3rd stringers in preseason - sometimes the kid isn't ready yet (hence PS) and sometimes you just strike out.

Good job keim
What a scout department
He would've been taken shortly after the cards drafted him... that's where he was graded out by the 'experts'. Some players just don't work out, and that's the risk you take in the draft.

AM I the only one who is noticing that the staff is saying that the players they drafted are supposed to be more ready and that players need to coach themselves more...si, the GM and coaches shouldn't be expected to do their jobs? Whatever happened to GMs selecting players who ARE ready and coaches who COACHED their players?

You can make that argument if Keim had drafted at least one player on the offensive line who worked out.

This guy had concern regarding his health and was off the board of several teams
There is not proof he could get picked in the following rounds
The Chad Williams is another example of illogical pick considering our needs in other positions
Third round is not the place u gamble on a player out of grambilng

Williams was a dumb move... that had BA written all over it. I don't know what it is with the cards, but they couldn't draft an Olineman to save their life.... kind of dumbfounding really.

He was placed higher in the draft by most scouts assuming he could pass a physical. I can’t fault Keim for taking the gamble. There aren’t any sure things at that point.

I think arguments works if you have ever drafted an offensive linemen who has panned out...Keim has not in 5 years.

The Cardinals haven’t drafted a great O lineman since Dan Deirdorf and Conrad Dobler.
