Cards re-sign Zach Ertz

[BritCard]

I think he already is: no YAC Ertz is his nickname in Philadelphia.

It's that why he just had his best YAC season ever?

His average was 2.9 per reception the last 3 years at Philly. He just had 4.6 per reception.

 

[dscher]

Not even shocking.

Keim will always Keim.

He's just cashing those freebie checks till someone pulls the plug and sees through the con he is... IMO at least.

Ertz has traditionally been a fine blocker. Being dropped into a new scheme mid season and expecting to pick up all the routes AND all the blocking schemes is unrealistic.

Would this be a good time to remind people we were paying Jermaine Gresham this kind of money like 5 years ago?

Greshams APY was $7m per year which was 4.2% of the cap.

Without seeing Ertz details and saying straight $10m APY thats 4.8% of the cap.

I know which one I'd rather have.

Everyone knew that deal was absolutely terrible outside of Keim apparently, not a great benchmark to use.

It’s so hilarious how easy Keim makes it look fooling some of the fanbase.

Or remind everyone about the hand ringing that went on when Dan Arnold left

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

Way too much money for too many years because Steve Keim can't draft for ****. We have to have the oldest roster in the league.

At least it's better than Jordan Phillips, I guess

 

[Russ Smith]

I like Ertz and i remind you what I pointed out right after we signed him. Ertz was never healthy last year he injured his hamstring in week 1 and played essentially the whole year with it, remember even with us he was on the injured list(Detroit) with the hamstring injury and was often taking days off during the week to treat it. not saying he's not 31 and not slowing down but there was an obvious reason for it last year that was the hamstring.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Everyone complaining Hertz is slow...hahaha...He's never been a burner or YAC guy. Didn't he set a career high with his 47 yard TD with AZ last year?

Combination of injuries, another good TE on the roster, and a QB in Hurts who refuses to throw over teh middle

That sounds familiar as a Cards fan.

I'm fine with Ertz coming back. I want Maxx back too. I will give him credit...Ertz was open alot once he got here last season. He may not be a YAC monster, but he gets open

Making an example of a bad past decision should change the fact that resigning Ertz with an expensive three year deal isn't a wise move?

Uh yes give me more 2 TE sets with these two

 

[dscher]

The only credit I'll give is to acknowledge he is **** for drafting, so this is what we have to live with... Permanence of stop gaps in our roster.

 

[juza76]

I expect Keim offering a multi million 4 year deal to James Conner at this point

 

[Mainstreet]

So what is the status of Maxx Williams?

So what is the status of Maxx Williams?

Will be ready to play in December but second on the depth chart, with Daniels behind
Then using screen passes to our athletically gifted tigh ends

I liked what I saw of Maxx Williams before being injured.

There were plenty of people on this board that thought that was a good deal at the time.
