Fixed it for you.
It's called a young QB on a rookie contract. If you want to trade KM and go this route, fine and dandy. If you don't, your idea is pretty much the worst idea for us this season, sad to say. It's an indictment on Keim and his failures, but here we are.
To one extend or another, I think they can be...let's say better. Didn't like the Collins or Moore picks, but say each of these players are at least okay this season. Which one of them is filling the gaping roster holes? None of them are playing edge. Your "it's all easily replaced by our own roster" will never hold water for me. RM isn't going to be a #2, and even if he is we need another starter-quality WR and still need another outside threat. We're leaving the cupboard bare and putting all of our eggs into INSTANT draft impact, contrary to your draft and develop approach in another thread, and late FA retreads. Very few folks will agree that this is the best way to take advantage of the young QB on a rookie contract.
Wrong, because again the market value shift is not much for these after the big splash tier free agents, and do not group me with others because it's a fool who judges an individual in a constricted box justified by the generic masses. I am not done yet either. I would take AJ Green back on s a similar contract, would also acquire Julio Jones for slightly higher in the mix because again the difference is not going to sink this franchise because the cap space balance is not like one is juggling a Davante Adams value or an outrageous Christian Kirk idiotic move which the Cards rightfully did not pursue... how can one defend their current stance is beyond me unless there is a huge trade in the mix
Ok..but can is a lot different than has shown. Yes, those players can be good but they are more likely to be what they have shown so far or marginally better/worse. I don't believe it is fair or realistic to expect Collins to go from 15% snaps to 100% snaps and not expect the same number or more mistakes. Same with Moore and Wilson. Simmons had his role reduced by our DC last year and you are expecting him to take on a greater role?
But riddle me this, who were those rookies surrounded by and do the Cards have that same star power and direction
So, success is paying for high dollar players who deliver value. you don't get a pass for spending big money on players who don't deliver just like you don't get a pass for not adding players and having a bad roster that doesn't perform.
Could be a myriad of mistakes if he does not know what he's doing with a dot on his helmet the color green
The mistakes and issues he was having which made Tanner Vallejo and Joe Walker better starting options. Those ones.
I get it, it can get annoying but try and avoid the call outs. Just a suggestion.
There is a whole world of difference between writing off young talent and expecting most of our young players at key holes to simply step in and be good enough, let alone excel, to get us deep into the playoffs. Not liking your plan of plugging all the major holes with our own youngsters or draft picks isn't flying with a lot of people. That doesn't mean those people are writing off young talent at all.
I think it’s funny that you speak so authoritatively when you know as much about the reasoning as anyone else here. Obviously vance wasn’t so reticent to play Collins just because he was a rookie as he played more early in the season. He gradually got less and less snaps and yes, was eventually sitting behind Vallejo and walker. That’s indisputable. There’s only one reason why a coach would do that: can’t trust the player. The fact that you think (a) you know more than a multi time DC/head coach about his player; (b) have ANY idea whether he made mistakes like calling defenses, reading offenses, or playing his role in the scheme; or (c) know whether Collins elevation is based on Vance’s decision or keim forcing it (you know, the guy that proclaimed Collins starter before he played a snap last season) is . . . well . . . funny.
