Cardinals Trade for RB Kenyan Drake

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I’m okay with this deal

 

[iLLmatiC]

Anyone ever get the feeling that Keim is very much a reactionary GM?

 

[SoonerLou]

Well the bad news is its a loss of a draft pick.
The good news is we won't have to worry about Keim drafting a guy that won't see the field.

It’s a conditional 6th that could become a 5th.

This is dumb. Keim signed two RBs last week and didn’t even activate one of them. Plus, we’re not going to the playoffs and should be on the other end of trades like this.

Drake is a 1/2 year rental and we may lose a 5th round pick out of it.

Suge White strikes again

This is the peril of having a basically lame duck GM. He can burn all of the picks he wants to try to save his job, if he won't be here next year. He's playing with house money.

Very much so. This is a desperate man making desperate moves.

Sounds like a dumb trade to me just roll with the 2 RBs you just signed

He's better than both of them, though...and they must think they can re-sign him.

Who cares? This team isn't going to the playoffs and hes gone after the season. Its pointless.

Geez. Not sure how I feel about this one. Not good for Edmonds or DJ at all. Can Drake even fly here in time and sign a contract before Thursday, much less play in the game?

The fact they did it today and not tomorrow (deadline) says they need him on Thursday.

The sad thing is he will be the GM next year if I’m a betting man

Dead on.

Now he will likely make another trade during the draft to recoup that 5th knowing him lol

Isn't this the type of deal BB always does, though? Give up a late round pick for a rental...player walks in FA and then BB gets the pick back as comp? Basically a wash in draft capital for a 1/2 season tryout.

I disagree. I think kyler playing out the season with even less weapons would stunt his growth. 6th or 5th for a rental for a guy who will be much better than Alf or ZZ is worth it to keep kyler’s development moving forward.

I’ll be surprised if we resign him at seasons end. He’d have to really shine for that to happen.

I’d rather not go to games with Alfred Morris and Zach Zenner our starting backs

BB is always playing for a championship. Suge White is playing for his job

It’s amazing how many of you seem to just be content with watching the team roll over and die on Thursday. Truly amazing.

Kenyon better than both...Morris is a good banger #2...Zenner good on ST and maybe the occasion pass out of the backfield.

It definitely won't be the worse Cards backfield of all time.

Exactly one game and boom just die and lose every game.

He has to be the GM firing him shows that he made a mistake signing KK and drafting KM. They have to keep him on for at least next year.

Eh I understand not wanting to throw good money after bad. This season is likely shot, so why spend future assets on a lost season. But I also think it’s a really important developmental season. And as such if you can keep a modicum if talent around kyler to give him a fighting chance week to week, and you can do so for relatively on the cheap, you do so.

Kenyon Drake will not be the reason the cards win or lose Thursday. It’s not rolling over and dying it’s being realistic. He prob won’t even get the start he has 1 full day to practice and 2 to learn the playbook. He may just be a body Thursday and Zenner will start.

Your argument is the only one that makes any sort of sense and I understand… But people crying because they want to do it for this season and prepare for Thursday have lost their minds... lol

Not going to happen.

Not going to happen. We’ll be in this thing.

Like 1616 said, I'm not content watching them roll over and die, but it's hard to envision our mash unit suddenly becoming dramatically better with a two day turnaround to get a guy into the playbook and onto the field. It's well known I'm a darksider this season though. I'm functionally ready to call this one a game before we even get underway.

I'm just mad Keim can waste future assets and everything so carte blanche at the moment.
