Cardinals : AJ green signed

[Bkbobo]

If you are getting an older WR, I would rather have TY Hilton. Probably be less money

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.

I hope you’re right. I also hope that these made up fantasy yards somehow materialize next season. Like I’ve said though, not holding my breathe.

Good or bad at least it got the board fired up

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

hopefully we get the quality 30+ center that the raiders released. I'm cool w that but not with giving up a 2nd for one unless truly still elite

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Why, so you can begrudge my post for being positive?

You’re certainly bringing a lot of positivity to the board by whining about it being so negative.

 

[BigRedRage]

man. Fitz, Q AND AJ? 2013 gonna be FIRE

 

[QuebecCard]

Then you wake up & realize it isn’t 2015 anymore.

And if we were buying a 2015 AJ it would cost DHop money.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

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!!

Man do I want some of what you’re smoking! Love the optimism!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

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.

For those of us who have been saying it’s too much for Fitz for a couple of years . . . yeah . . . good chance we are right again.

 

[Redsz]

I'm fine with this. It's 6mil for one year. Moves Kirk to the slot where he should be more effective.

I made 1 post and it struck a cord obviously!

Yep, I totally agree, would have been much happier with him.

You don’t see the irony in your posts? This is now three posts, all negative. Lol. It’s funny.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Me too

 

[Minski]

At least our new RB signing is a track star

Is Frank gore available?

He needs another torn acl before we consider him

 

[mjb21aztd]

Kind of like it green is injury prone but he is coming to a team with a better qb and Hopkins so maybe that will help

Not keeping my hopes to high on green but he gives kyler a decent redzone threat at the very least next season

 

[mjb21aztd]

Boom or bust signing.

Lol hope pans out better than bell on jets...

I’d say the price was right. Green suffered last year in an offense that wasn’t suited to his talents. He’s an upgrade from Fitz and much will depend on how willing Murray is to use him. IMO Murray undervalued Fitz and failed to appreciate what he could have provided. Now the Cards bring in a solid receiver who is more of a possession receiver at this point of his career. Frankly either of these players, properly used, could give the Cards a more potent offense. So I’m guessing say “thanks” to Fitz and “welcome” to A.J. Now throw him the ball! He’s a quality addition and he has something to prove. I’m betting her earns those incentives if Murray gives him a chance. They could still draft someone to spread the field, but likely won’t do so in round 1.

Problem: Are you content with AJ Green as our #2, Kirk as our #3, and whatever else we have at WR? Because I am pretty damn certain Keim isn't about to go sign another WR. I mean, it's Keim, after all.

 

[PACardsFan]

I understand and see where people are coming from. But I don’t think Green is as done as people think. We will know soon enough. I think he just had bengalitis.

EXACTLY!

 

[Stout]

lmao you said “Fitz for a million or 2” yea like never.... and there have been quite a few that Fitz should continue to play for as long as he wants even at 5-7 million due to his “leadership”

Me? I was the one blasting KK for saying exactly that. I'd have (brought--past tense, now that we signed Green) Fitz back on a low-cost deal because he'd be better than a, say, Isabella. Not as a #2 WR, though, and, like I said, not now that we have the over-the-hill Green signed.

 

[TJ]

Price for a WR2 is right. AJ Green is not a #1 anymore, but should be good for around 700-800 yards next season. I’m fine with it. He’s an obvious upgrade over the corpses behind Hop
