You’re still losing half a year of getting your program really started right off the bat with an injured kyler. And have we hit the value period of kylers contract yet? Doesn’t seem like it. And what idiot coach is going to be swayed by a highlight video of any player? These aren’t college coaches that have to scour thousands of high school players for talent.

Do I think there were coaches who still saw potential in kyler? Sure. But to think none of the above didn’t cause every coach at least some pause seems awfully naive.

IMO we slow-walked Kyler last season as part of the tank. I don't think that he could have started the season, but I think you could have got him in week five or something.

You want to pitch the guy by showing the best parts of your program. Kyler being the most exciting player in the NFL becomes the frame -- not the guy whose choked in a half-dozen playoff qualifiers.

I'm sure that candidates had pause about Kyler, but you have to at least try to get the Harbaugh's into your building and close them. We couldn't close the deal with Sean Payton and look where we are and where he is (with less resources in terms of draft capital, no less).

This isn’t 1994. An ACL isn’t a death sentence anymore. I don’t think that would discourage a coach. And anyone smart could see that Kyler’s contract wasn’t crippling at the time and likely to seem like a value in a year or two.

A smart team would put together a highlight reel of Kyler’s most mind-boggling plays — at his best he’s maybe the most exciting QB in the NFL. Unfortunately we’re run by dunce Michael Bidwill.
The organization is afraid of losing out on its investment, (Kyler getting hurt again) to play him how he is most dangerous. They've taken out virtually all of the designed runs and are for the most part keeping him in the pocket. If that's the offense you want to run, Kyler isn't the answer. Either get rid of Kyler, or play to his strengths.

This is depressing.

As usual, K9 gets it.

Andy Reid..... Peyton Manning...... Sean Payton...... We are the candidates leverage, not the candidates choice. And in a market like ours, with the lifestyles we can support locally, and this weather, that is a crazy concept to wrap your head around.

Simeon Rice was mostly right. The players survey is and was completely deserved. What the AZCard's social media feeds give to us is not the reality in the building or in the league. And that only can come from the top.
