And, like clockwork, this team has a chance to grab all the momentum only to screw it up. You don't see our opponents doing this.

Agreed, but here is what Bruce has to say:

Arians said Jones is “a hell of a coach.”

“I watch him prepare,” he said. “I watch him coach. It has nothing to do with faith. I know the guy can coach. His players aren’t playing very well. They’re my players, so if I’m going to fire him, I’ll fire myself.”

No one misses every year but this team does. 5 drafts, 5 1st round misses. That's hard to do.

Reddick was most definitely not a miss, and we don't know what any of the others would have become if they weren't subject to this coaching staff who haven't made a single player develop since they arrived, and also have an school, stubborn aversion to rookies.

So I guess that goes for every team every year. No team hits one every pick every year. Sorry you are way off.

It is a consistency issue which is what I said. no team is going to hit 100% of the time, but you should hit on more than not. We don't. And it hasn't mattered if it is in the top 10 or top32, Cards aren't hitting on any of them. You might want to look in the mirror on your "way off" comment.

Jury is still out on him actually. A few good plays does not a career make. However, there's no doubting that the team has whiffed on the other 4 first rounders.

Just saw game highlights on Red Zone. 2 Wentz TDs went to TEs. Now that is a tradition that needs to die for the Cards.

Way too early to tell on Reddick...coaches can't coach guys who can't stay in the field which was an issue for both Humphries and Nkemdiche in college.

Aside from Reddick, have we drafted a 1st rounder who hasn't been an injury problem?

Once again, this team forgets Fitz is on the field...


If you saw the first 2 drives everytime Palmer looked at him he was double covered.

I actually have Fitz, CJ and Gresham in my fantasy team today, byes and injuries forced me into it.

I sure hope we're throwing the ball to Fitz more in the 2nd half

Cooper didn't have any indicators in college that I know of, and neither did Bucannon. Cooper's issue was that he struggled with the mental side of the game, and couldn't figure how to play hurt. Bucannon is a guy who is put at a physical disadvanatge with his shift to ILB, and the team has not done anything to help him. The comment was that he was overdrafted when he was picked, and it looks like that may be the case. Hard working guy though.

Gresham is your starting TE? Are you in a deep league?

Anybody remember when the Cards cut Cole Toner? He can play center. Where is he at nowadays?
