Disappointing

[Russ Smith]

I heard something on the radio today, Washington has more scoring drives than incomplete passes for the season. They didn’t punt at all in week 2 or 3. This is with a rookie QB. Kliff is coaching his butt off as OC.

They are looking like the Texans did last year, terrible to playoffs in one offseason. The Cardinals can’t even manage terrible to competent in 2 seasons, it’s maddening.

Been watching a bunch of stuff on Daniels today, everyone is saying he's an absolute star. I think he was amazing yesterday and the week before but I also think he's played against 2 really bad defenses back to back and he's probably NOT as good as he looked.

But yeah if I was a Commanders fan I'd be feeling pretty good about the future right now. I mean it was not even a year ago people were saying they should trade McLovin to do him a favor, and here they are 3-1 with a budding superstar QB.

I mean, I know people are feeling a bit raw today but yesterday was definitely not the worst. It's likely not top 10, probably not top 20. Certainly not the worst.

Exactly, are people forgetting miserable little time called The Steve Wilks era?

4 games people need to slow down everyone has seen this before… Hope he does well but people jumping way to quick pronouncing superstar etc… Let’s se him face some adversity not camping back there with 15 minutes to scan the field against poo teams lol

Oh I agree but his first 4 games are pretty epic.

He has a weird throwing motion but the ball gets there.

The good thing is the last 2 games he's been throwing the ball downfield a bit more and he's still been outstanding.

Certainly not saying he's going to be better than Mahomes etc but he's off to a fantastic start

As bad as we played yesterday we had 2 legit scoring drives and a 100 yard rusher. So, yeah, we have had a lot worse performances overall.

But, the context of the game and complete ineptitude of the defense made it one of the most humiliating defeats I have ever personally witnessed. And I have a LOT of defeats in person since 1987.

He’s also 6’4”. It’s not easy calling plays for a 5’10” QB.

By that logic, 1 great game and 3 not so great games aren't good for a QB, right?

Only saving grace on the Cardinals’ 1-3 record is that the 3 teams who beat us all are 3-1 on the season. Don’t know where they will end up, but we’re we’re beat by good teams.

JC ran hard today even though we were losing

Have to add him to your list

He did run hard all day. Was talking about how they came out of the tunnel.

 

[phillycard]

Also please get Sterling Thomas V off the field. Seriously.

I know he has alot of "moxie" but Max Melton needs to be getting snaps so that he can learn and grow.

I've just about had it with SMB. Invisible, and not in a good way.

The frustration for me is yeah Kyler didn't play well but if you think the answer is to draft a QB next year the question is who? People said Shedeur Sanders, he would have been the 5th or 6th qb taken in this draft behind Caleb, Daniels, Maye and Penix for sure(IMO) and probably behind McCarthy(many had McCarthy ahead of Penix because of Penix's knees.). I think he probably goes ahead of Bo Nix this year who was the 6th QB but even that's not for sure.

Right now most sites have Quinn Ewers as the top QB, I saw one today that had the Alabama QB but I don't buy that. The Georgia QB has a 1st round grade.

Kyler has to play better but I don't think there's a single guy in the next draft I'd clearly prefer over Kyler, which is sad.

We need tons of help on defense, our secondary is bad our Dl is bad. I spent all week telling my email friends how slow our WR's were, they thought I was anti woofing but now they see what I mean. We don't have a decent RT on the roster, we need LB's. just nothing impressive

Just pathetic today

Sam Darnold, Derek Carr, Baker Mayfield, and Geno Smith should give everyone a lot of pause about only considering a rookie QB.

So running the ball and controlling the clock aren’t enough?

Right I mentioned that elsewhere the goal if you replace Kyler would probably be find a Sam Darnold, maybe even find Sam Darnold since the Vikings could well go with JJ McCarthy.

Just seems unlikely to me there's a guy in the next draft who's going to be good enough to take Kyler's job.

I was watching some QB analyst again yesterday he did call out Kyler not throwing to Wilson on 4th down and taking the sack but his comment was you could see how weak our WR room is
