Cardinals : AJ green signed

[Proximo]

You're not excited with a pass rush that adds JJ Watt and Chandler Jones?

Not really, because combined they had 6 sacks last season.

Love this signing. AJ Green is finally healthy, wants a ring, and will be playing with a chip on his shoulder. He's a bonafide #1 WR so playing as the #2 WR opposite of DHOP, With Larry legend working the middle, there is reason to be excited in AZ this year!!

WE NEEDED A 2nd year!!!!

6mm just tees me off at only one season.

This thread is funny.

Green has a Hall of Fame level career with 7 Pro Bowls and a 15 YPC average. Has one down year with a rookie QB, a garbage O line and a bad HC and he's suddenly trash.

He might be cooked, but you certainly can't base that on last years stats.

I like Player Profiler as they have some metrics others don't have and they show that Green had 939 unrealized air yards. That's 939 yards where he was open and the ball wasn't thrown his way, or it was off target. That was #3 in the league.

The reason for that you can see in another of their metrics, Target Quality Rating. This discounts short passes and puts a rating on pass quality on deep balls. Deep passes to Green had a TQR of 4.0. That was #103 in the league.

The difference between his targets and catchable targets was 30 percentage points.

I would rather have a younger guy like Samuel but I there's no doubt Green is more talented if he still has gas in the tank.

He also missed 29 games from 2016-2019 due to injury.

I guess he is only 32...well. we'll see.

he’ll be 33 by training camp.

Oft injured and past their prime. I really don’t understand the philosophy.

parent you one of the guys that said your happy to have Fitz back lol

When your team signs a 7 time Pro Bowler and likely future HOF WR for $6m with a max of $8m and fans are mad because he's not 28. When you been paying 38 year old Larry $11.5m per since 2016 which is both more money and a much higher percentage of cap space through those seasons.

No really much, I think we had to fix the interior line at first, then Cb
Then I don't see any plans when u just fullfil the roster with players over 32,I with some questioned durability
I think should be a mix of players in terms of age

The bulk of Green's totals, however, came during the first five years of his career. Starting with the 2016 season, the former Georgia standout battled numerous injuries. From that point onward, he missed 29 games, including the entire 2019 season after he suffered an ankle injury in the first preseason practice.

Green played all 16 games in 2020 but had career single-season low totals of 47 catches for 523 yards and two touchdowns. He caught 43.9% of his targets, according to ESPN Stats & Information, the lowest of any qualifying Bengals receiver last season.

 

[Solar7]

As recently as last year I was open to kicking the tires on Green, so I can't be that mad, but I can't say this is exciting.

I guess it gives us a weapon but still the flexibility to draft a top young guy if they're there in the top rounds.

Truth

I'm happy to have fitz back as I think he can play better than last year still. AJ hasnt done anything in 5 years. AJ AND Fitz? meh.

 

[Proximo]

Oft injured and past their prime. I really don’t understand the philosophy.

Only thing that makes sense is he is a good sideline catch player, and that's where Kyler likes to throw the ball.

I hope that's not really the thinking though, need to work on Kyler being able to throw all over the field to realize his potential.

Yea Fitz can play better at another year older... seems legit

except were not really adding that to our pass rush from last year because Reddick was a huge part of that success and Gardeck is currently on one leg.

 

[QuebecCard]

At least he is close to matching up with what’s out there. But AJ Green? There are literally 6-8 other receivers out there that would be better.

Maybe... but they are #2s looking for #1 money.

Is Frank gore available?

false comparison. I’ve been off the Larry bandwagon for a while and you neglect to mention how injury riddled and un productive that “HOF” WR has been in the last four years as he only gets older.

 

[iLLmatiC]

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

I've felt this way after the season ended.

 

[Proximo]

Maybe... but they are #2s looking for #1 money.

But they aren't going to get it.

If they could, it would have already happened.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Marvin Jones wasnt. And the above has no basis in fact yet.

Wait until we give up a 2nd for a 30+ year old center!

[DVontel]

I don’t even get how one wants Peterson to leave(yes I still want him gone) but likes the AJ Green signing
