No it doesn't. It doesn't when a roster has a little bit of talent. Rebuilds are exacerbated when the roster has to also purge talent because of bad fits like Marquise Brown.
The Cardinals are in the toughest division in the NFC by a wide margin though, so this doesn't really apply much.
This is the part where, we'll see. The Cardinals will have a huge opportunity. Let's hope they use it.
This aligns with what PFR’s pages say.
When it comes to TC, most convo should be positive. It raises all of the red flags when it isn't.
Not compared to sacks. Pressures mean the QB still has a chance to make a play. Not the case when he's on the ground. Nobody is getting any accolades, or pro bowl votes, for being a guy who gets a lot of pressures.
That's not a good argument because with the cap increase, the $$$$ market for pass rushers has increased. You could say the same argument, is Jordan Love deserving of being in the same pay grade area as Mahomes or Burrows based on a hot 6 game streak to end the year? Prescott is probably going to be the highest paid player in the league. Nobody is saying he's the best but that's what the market says.
Flawed argument. Just because a market trends a certain way doesn’t make someone worth it. I’ll go on record and say Love is not worth being the HP player in the league. Trends don’t change that. Never will. Just shows the actual ignorance that is pro sports and the NFL.
When the choice is make him the highest paid player in the league or not lock him down, what do you do? I'm glad we don't have that problem at a major position right now. Then again, I hope we do have those problems at major positions soon
No one disagrees that he isn't.
If we signed him to that deal, we're not looking for other high-priced FAs on defense. You build around him.
Agreed. The Cardinals are not in the "tough financial choices" stage of the franchise process. OUr top 10 players includes a 29 year old RB, two Ss, and a TE. Maybe an ILB as well.
If only we had such problems lol
The Lions have signed Sewell, Goff, St. Brown and I think another player to big contracts this off season.
The same constant Cap Warriors are the same people who consistently predicted eventual cap hell for the Rams, pointing to how screwed they’d be eventually… while we were terrible or mediocre and they were going to multiple Super Bowls, winning one, then bottoming out (while still being better than us) AND already making the playoffs and being demonstrably better than us while our cap looked so pristine and their “cap hell” hit.
All better players than Burns, who managed 20 pressures.
I don’t know a time when our cap looked pristine during the Keim years, do tell…
That’s just it… it usually wasn’t, but that didn’t stop a lot of the same people here from claiming that almost everything he was doing was spot on and that we’d have the last laugh on teams like the Rams because we weren’t spending on a bunch of FAs.
Yep I was one of those fans until I started paying attention to those contract signings pushing up the year to year dead cap monies. I kept thinking we were mortgaging our future just as the DiamondBacks had. I remember a financial commentary stating it would take the Snakes 10 years to climb out of the dug hole and the article proved correct.
Snead also hit on like 6 draft picks, which is extremely lucky. The Rams aren't in the playoffs last year if they don't find all time best rookie WR Nacua, 9 sacks out of Kobie Turner, and 8 sacks out of Byron Young. That type of fortune is extremely rare in the NFL and most observers didn't believe that would happen.
I was calling for a Reddick trade earlier in the off season.
3 3's= one nine! The math checks out!
