I struggle with the idea that they believe this roster has the talent to win.
You'll probably feel the same come September, but then you will have an actual roster to crap on.
I struggle with the idea that they believe this roster has the talent to win.
I'm not arguing that it is.I mean, that may have been true with the roster they went into 2022 with, but this team isn’t going to look much like the at one, and the 2024 version will look even less so.
If the team think it just needs a few tweaks they’re going about it in a hamfisted way.
The Bengals were just one qb away. Bad exampleThe Cincinnati Bengals appeared in the Super Bowl the season after their QB suffered and ACL tear.
Everyone remembers our QB is out with an ACL right? So you have 2 options.
You do what Steve Keim would do. You sticking plaster the whole thing. You restructure a bunch of guys to clear more cap. You sign Matt Ryan and say his form last year was a blip and he's still Matt Ryan. You sign Bud Dupree, Ben Jones and Marcus Peters for more money than they are worth and tell everyone the team has a shot in a poor NFC.
Then we go 6-11 or 7-10. We have no cap space to carry over. Worse, all the deals for the middling vets kick the can down the road so they are eating up a bigger chunk of the 2024 cap you were going to have.
2024 by way of necessity becomes another sticking plaster year. And so on and so worth. We have seen this movie 5 or 6 times.
Or you accept that missing your QB for a bunch of games on a roster already missing a strong foundation is almost impossible to overcome and embrace the suck. You look for value and players to improve the depth and plan to make a run in 2024. You trade back in the draft to pick up more picks and get younger.

reload implies one already has the weapon, rebuild sounds rightThis is exactly correct, and the move we should be happy we are making. We are finally doing a "rebuild" or "reload" or whatever you want to call it the right way. We finally cleaned house in the front office. We hired new coaches, now we need to essentially give them a clean slate to work with, and that takes a year at least.
Do not spend any money in this FA class. Get maximum value for your draft picks. Play a bunch of young players next year and see what they got......its this time NEXT year that we will really see a play put into place to build a team.
Should only take two years. This year to get rid of the guys they didn’t want or couldn’t afford and next year to get rid of the fat. After that, it’s on the current regime.When do you think we'll finally hear someone not blame the Cards failures on Keim? I'm guessing 2028.
I don't think they think they are either. Otherwise we wouldn't have gotten the Hump deal, and we'd be rid of Ertz and Conner. This is terrible for us, because either the new regime doesn't understand how bad things are, or they do and think that THIS is the way forward.I doubt the Cardinals think they are tanking.
I think they are clearing the cap and will attempt to bring in their type of players.
Hump was just a restructure to move the cap hits around. He was still on the team and was getting paid no matter what. I still don't agree with Conner because he will be gone next year.I don't think they think they are either. Otherwise we wouldn't have gotten the Hump deal, and we'd be rid of Ertz and Conner.

Hump's restructure pushes cash to the future for the sake of the now. Why, if we're tanking? Cutting Conner this year saves us 2 million against the cap next season. Why not, if we're tanking?Hump was just a restructure to move the cap hits around. He was still on the team and was getting paid no matter what.

I do think that if this team was fully tanking, they would let Ertz go.
Except they're only kinda halfheartedly trying to reset the roster.The Cards are not Tanking. Tanking implies that you are not trying to win. I am and will always be against tanking. It's a total loser mentality that I want no part of.
What is going on now is a roster reset by the new administration.
I never agreed that we were fully tanking. I think Bidwill wants to be competitive without truly doing the things that make us competitive. He's doing the 'field the best team that I can without spending 10s of millions of dollars doing so' dance.Hump's restructure pushes cash to the future for the sake of the now. Why, if we're tanking?

Your optimistic. I’m trying to figure out how they will win one game.The plan will be very apparent when we finish the season at 4 and 13.
That’s just called being cheap.I never agreed that we were fully tanking. I think Bidwill wants to be competitive without truly doing the things that make us competitive. He's doing the 'field the best team that I can without spending 10s of millions of dollars doing so' dance.
