He very clearly says he doesn't think it's worth 3m for a special teams player. Especially since kick returns and punt returns are basically being phased out of football. F may be harsh for Jones, but whether he's a F or a D or a low C, doesn't seem like a great signing.
Yeah I wasn’t feeling his gradings either.
Could be. Is he a star in your eyes? He showed a ton of potential, but I'm not calling him a star yet.
The question is, is he a star? He's an above average starter, but I don't think he's a star.
Both had half a good season - you know as well as I do that we need above average starters to get out of the suck/mediocrity. Where are they coming from? Our already acquired FA's?
Putting all their eggs in the basket of 40 year old Rodgers coming off a massive injury seems dumb. What else are they going to do though, I guess.
Agree. Poor drafting has been the bugaboo with this franchise going all the way back to the 60’s. If you’re not drafting well and developing your own talent, then having to spend a ton in FA becomes a necessity. So, at best, the latter results in short spurts of success. But, with no sustainability. In the modern era of FA, we’ve seen that with Whisenhunt, BA, and even Kingsbury. Michael has seen the Cardinals in a SB, he has seen them in a couple of NFC championship games. One thing he’s NEVER seen is sustainable success. That’s what MO sold to MB when he got hired, and that’s what the ultimate goal is right now. MB doesn’t necessarily want a quick turnaround if it doesn’t result in sustainable success. Cardinals will continue to make progress, but unfortunately, that may not be fast enough for some fans on this board. And I understand that. My a$$ is getting old LOL.
Hooray - 2024 Tag Line - Aspiring to mediocrity!
I mean, they have the power and ability to push the team toward that aspiration. Only a handful of teams every season are actually trying to win a Super Bowl.
You don’t feel this is the least bit disingenuous? I mean were you giggling a little as you typed it?
Not at all. We had adequate cap space and talent when Monti took the job. We weren't going to win the Super Bowl with a backup quarterback half the season and losing J.J. Watt to retirement, but we were unlikely to repeat the 4-13 result of the previous year.
HILARIOUS!
Seems funny to me considering your one of the biggest proponents of ringing the “Keim sucks” “his rosters suck” bell… To now as soon as Monti comes over we had a perfectly adequate roster. And discount the fact that we went 4-13 with a healthy Watt and Kyler for 85% of the season….
Hell no on Williams… That guy is going to cost too much money and he can never ever stay healthy
