Cards Post Super Bowl Direction

[Stout]

Sad. I am starting to be done with Monti at this point so the idea of keeping him and getting rid of Gannon is Keim-esque. I will give Monti this off-season but I kinda feel the hill he has built will be to steep to climb.

Yeah, in no world should Monti be given a shot with a second coach. It should be the other way around, if it comes to it.

In my view, Gannon has earned more goodwill.

Monti and JG should be safe until they haven't had sustained success with their own QB. They should get their own fair chance rather than be a second regime cleared out because of K1's shortcomings, IMHO.

Maybe it was a condition for getting the job, but both Monti and JG have been emphatic that Kyler is their guy.

i am sure there was a GM candidate or two who advised Mike to move on from K1

Exactly.

Like it or not the salary cap continues to restrain many decisions. If there was a mistake made it was giving this giant contract to Murray on the speculation he would become a star rather than forcing him to prove it. Now dooming the Cards to being non-competitive for several years seems like a worse decision than seeing if they could ride out those years with at least a moderately competitive team. After 2025 it becomes practical to make a change without selling off several future years. I’ve previously written that under the financial realities of the NFL anyone interviewing had to endorse Murray to get a shot. Murray, himself, has now gotten that shot and 2025 is put up or shut up time. I know patience is challenging, but I’d urge postponing these demands for action for one more season to make the financial transition practical. With a solid offseason this year and next, the Cards could offer a roster in 2026 that could be structured to contend with the addition of a veteran QB; letting Murray move on to another hopeful suitor.

the Cards and Kyler are in an interesting position

he is in the band of 12-18 kinda QBs

but that also means odds are that the guy you get to replace him will be no better and maybe worse
