Laugh it up. Just like everyone did this off-season when I said we would have a top five D, top 5 receiving core and that Keim had assembled the best roster in the history of the Arizona Cardinals.
Good call almost halfway through the season... Isabella on the other hand? Ehhhh. I'll hold on to some hope though since the guy has had some real flashes of brilliance. But, consistency is key in the NFL and if you don't have it, you'll be a journeyman no matter how much potential.

A journeyman that runs a 4.2 can have a long career in the nfl

Agreed. But, his consistency will be something that's needed on a roster like ours the next couple years... IMO
I had a thought.... left field kinda thing.
We are likely losing Kirk this off season....
There were several solid reports on Izzy showing improvements..
What if.... what if the team has him on stash right now? Keeping him on the DL steadily coaching him up...
Then they let Kirk walk instead of paying him 12-15mil.... place Isabella in his spot.... if the coaching worked and he is fairly successful.... dude would be pretty easy to sign for cheap since he only had one year of production as a third or fourth WR...
Helps us dramatically in the cost control area right at the time we are gonna have to pay Kyler 40m a year. Because we would still have Moore on his rookie deal

I was going for the pizza but this makes some sense.

One, the self butt tapping is not gong to get you any points haha... seriously, you would have a point if Isabella's 40 time equates to football time and he could freaking catch with his hands

Not bad. I like inside baseball thought processes. :)

If someone is willing to give you anything anything at all you take it

Knowing Keim he’ll trade Andy for a 1st and an all pro caliber player. How that guy makes these trades I have no idea

He's not on the injured reserve list

He never ran a 4.2.

He's 4.33 in a straight line, on a track, from a 3 point stance, in track shoes.

He looks about 4.45 in pads.

4.65 if you ask him to turn.

I think this is it. I have a friend of a friend who is pretty high ranking in the organization who said when Isabella was finally able to practice at camp, he was nothing short of awesome. Believe it or not, the team is high on him.

I definitely do not in the least bit believe it.

It is a seller's market. I don't move him for less than a 4 or a high 5.

He still has a salary-controlled year left on his contract and Kirk and Green are up after the season.
