Christian Kirk?

Held back by Kyler Murray’s limited passing tree.

Apparently.

I was just about to post this.
But don’t forget to add Kingsbury.

Well he’s living up to that contract so far that’s for sure

 

[BritCard]

It was Kingsbury mainly but also Kyler. Had the same argument 100 times on here.

Kliff used him poorly before last year, but also Kyler's inability to read a defence and adjust his reads played a part.

 

[ajcardfan]

Kirk got crapped on around here, a lot. Drops, etc. Now we all miss him and it was always Kyler's fault.

 

[BritCard]

But also even knowing he was much better than we allowed him to show I also wouldn't have paid him 17m. So I can't be sad about it.

Kingsbury has catered to Kyler’s every desire since he was drafted. Cmon man.

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

How many times have other teams seen the talent in one of our players that we don't seem to either realize or simply don't use him properly or to his full potential? Maybe that can be said of a lot of teams, I don't know.

Held back by a poor Head Coach

 

[Timm Rosenbach]

Kirk didn’t impress me here. And he got overpaid massively. I AM beginning to wonder why a first round pick was traded for “Hollywood” Brown though.

The short answer is that Keim is bad.

The long, thorough answer to take into account all variables and possibilities is that Keim is bad.

 

[Jasper]

Would have liked to keep him but not for 17m

 

[slanidrac16]

What do you think it’s going to cost us to keep Brown?

 

[az jam]

Missed games here because of injures the first 3 years, had a good season last year and made big bucks being a free agent. Why blame anyone?

 

[Russ Smith]

He's been great I am happy for him but I think it's a premature victory lap.

After 2 games last year 9 target 8 catches 2 TD's 135 yards

This year 18 targets 12 catches 2 TD's 195 yards.

So twice the targets about 50% slightly better production.

THey clearly have figured out how to use him so far.

I've always felt like, for Kilff, KM is the hot girl that turned him down for years, before finally agreeing to be with him. "Sure, whatever you want, babe! (please don't leave me)"

 

[Jetstream Green]

I want to see Kirk produce like this for a majority of the season, without having stretches of his customary disappearing act, before I give Jacksonville props for that insane contract

 

[Proximo]

We are 2 games in, and he was always meant to be the number 2 receiver.

i blame his lack of production more on our pass protection than anything else. It’s not like he is getting a ton of targets.

 

[Totally_Red]

Maybe Keim learned something about extending good players early instead of waiting until they hit free agency.

 

[CardsFan88]

Maybe Keim learned something about extending good players early instead of waiting until they hit free agency.

Instead, we likely paid a 3rd rate guard a stone's throw from top money.

We definitely could, had he not wasted so much money on bad contracts to others. Some of this happens, but with Keim, it seems to happen more often.

Of course, we are still sitting with how much in cap space. A contract extension a year or so ago for much less would have fit in.

80% usage from the slot in Jacksonville. Imagine playing players in the positions they play best in.

 

[BigRedRage]

happy for him
