Cardinals : AJ green signed

[Evil Ash]

He was relatively healthy last season and painfully mediocre.

With a rookie qb throwing him the ball on a team he didn't want to play for (he was tagged last offseason)

Not my first choice but not opposed to the signing either. Didn’t cost much and a short-term deal

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Keim is throwing mud at the wall hoping some of it sticks on older guys who are short term fixes if they stay healthy. It's a familiar theme.

It’s his only move

Holy crap was he slow in every single “highlight” they just showed. Just what we need to stretch the field.

Didn’t stop a rookie WR from having nearly 1K yards.

 

[Stout]

I think he is a Fitzgerald replacement.

Yup. I mean, at this point, Fitz has to be gone. There's no way you can keep both on the roster. Zero chance, because that would kill your special teams.

I really, REALLY don't like this signing, because my feeling is that Keim is dusting his hands off with a, "Whelp, that's WR fixed for this season!" No, you bumbling moron, the WR position is very much NOT FIXED!!!

This is the Emmitt Smith signing that people thought Watt was.

 

[Zeno]

Larry is 5 years older and more washed. I guarantee Green has more left in the tank then Fitz.

Green might be a LITTLE better than Fitz at this point in their respective careers but his recent numbers sure don't make it look like he will be any more impactful during a game. Neither guy is a difference maker in games at this point in their careers. We get a guy who is even less threat after the catch (which is hard to believe), has a lower pass catch rate (by 30%!), had less yards per target, but he is 5 years younger, did double Larry's TD total (2 to 1) and had more yards per catch (which sounds good until you see that the ball traveled more than twice as far in the air before the catch). Is it better paying him $6m versus paying Larry $11m? Absolutely. I just don't see him being all that more productive though and think that money could have been spent smarter.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

The part to me that makes this so frustrating is that this is the best WR FA class I remember and we probably see guys like Fuller, Samuel and Juju sign for only a little more per year.

Yup. This.

 

[Mainstreet]

It’s his only move

I'd rather take a chance on younger guys than keep on signing aging talent and hoping they can stay
healthy.

Signing a center would have made me happier.

 

[Proximo]

I don't like this very much, because I really doubt he gets back to form.

With that said, it's better to spend money on Green than Fitz.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Same bunch of never-ending negativity... SMH

By all means, type something positive. I’m looking for the silver lining in signing a guy that was great but that’s a few years ago and looked awful last year.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Man... this team could be awesome!

in 2015.

Great minds...

Larry is 5 years older and more washed. I guarantee Green has more left in the tank then Fitz.

You guys keep making it seem like Green was the only option to go WR instead of Fitz... in a year with a wide array of options in FA, none of which are breaking the bank.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Watching NFL network and literally none of the experts seem to think hes washed...

A lot of big name players get passes based in reputations. You think any of the experts would call Larry washed either? No. But we all know he is. I’m willing to bet most bengals fans aren’t crying about this other than wishing he had retired with them for his legacy.

 

[Minski]

God I want some other decent signings to make me feel ok about this one. Looks like the young WR is now off the table

 

[kerouac9]

Watching NFL network and literally none of the experts seem to think hes washed...

Weird that a league-sponsored cheerleading unit isn't talking trash about the signing.

 

[Stout]

Wow, I m less optimistic then last season
Actually I have no reason to expect anything good

Ditto.

 

[Cheesebeef]

With a rookie qb throwing him the ball on a team he didn't want to play for (he was tagged last offseason)l

and yet the Bengals had a rookie WR get 1000 yards.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

You guys keep making it seem like Green was the only option to go WR instead of Fitz... in a year with a wide array of options in FA, none of which are breaking the bank.

Yeah if this was replacing Fitz as the third wr after we got a legit #2 I’d be hood with it. But this is our #2 and makes me want to vomit.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I don't like this very much, because I really doubt he gets back to form.

that presents a false choice that assumes there were no other options... in a FA WR class that had snd still has an array of options, none of them breaking the bank.

Couldn't agree more. 2019 was an injury year. Last year on a team he didn't want to be with, he played to play. Coming here with a better team and offense, he should feast opposite Nuk

Lol! Fitz gone? Are you sure? You may be underestimating Keims ability to sign older players.

 

[Minski]

But he’s not Larry is he. Larry doesn’t drop balls or miss many through injury. Next we’ll be making a splash signing by picking up Deon Sanders to play CB

 

[Shane]

Weird that a league-sponsored cheerleading unit isn't talking trash about the signing.

do you watch? They say they don’t like the fit and call players done literally ALL THE TIME.

 

[DVontel]

Jesus Christ Keim is atrocious
