How stupid will we look?

[slanidrac16]

how stupid will we look if we draft Murray , keep Rosen and Rosen wins the starting job? I know the bigger Murray supporters are going to fire back , “ that will never happen.” Before you respond with that don’t underestimate the value of experience Rosen gained last year and Murray having to through the growing process. Also before you start comparing Murray to MaHomes don’t forget MaHomes played in only 1 game in his rookie year even though it had become totally apparent he was much better than Alex Smith. So how dumb will we look?

 

[Dr. Jones]

We would look insanely stupid IMO. But..... It has to be considered possible, even if it isn't that likely.

I will compare it to Russell when he was a rookie going up against Matt Flynn. Flynn was projected to start but Russell just blew him away in the preseason.

 

[MadCardDisease]

If the Cardinals end up with a NFL caliber starting QB out of it they won't look stupid at all.

 

[az jam]

Cards are not going to keep Rosen if they draft Murray. Would cause too many problems.

Exactly.

How would Murray get his cleats back if Rosen puts them way up on top of his locker?

 

[Delmar M Lewis]

They would simply look like the Same Ole Cards another draft lost and bottom feeders in the NFC West probably with yet another head coach GM fired

It’s hard for me to imagine how we could possibly look any stupider than we have for the past couple years.

Botched coaching hires, botched free agency selections, botched drafts, botched contract negotiations and now a quarterback controversy from out of nowhere - which best case will result in half of the fan base being pissed off with whomever they select. Awesome.

Look stupider? Wasn’t sure it was even possible - but as long time fans of this organization, we should all be prepared for this inevitable result.

It would be a slight at the general manager and the scouting department. It basically shows that there’s no trust internally, which is really bad. Plus, a QB competition can divide a locker room.

 

[Veer]

At least we would've tried for once to fix the Qb position. And not again relying on catching an aging lightning in the bottle once in a decade for a couple of seasons...

[GatorAZ]

The Cards would trade Rosen before telling him there’s an open competition with a guy the new coach wanted #1 who he’s had a relationship with since HS.

And giving Rosen a real chance in a better situation wouldn`t be trying to fix the QB situation?Jeez do you think Murray is the best freaking Qb to enter the draft in years or is he a stone cold sure thing in your opinion?

that doesn`t gives warm and fuzzy feelings having a guy who is better as a backup/spot starter (Hundley) and a raw undersized rookie (Murray) as choices for QB......…......…….3-13 again.

They could draft a Kicker number 1

We already look stupid

leave it up to the red birds to have a QB controversy between their freshly drafted QBOTF and some dude that aint even in the freakin league.

...and then we make the playoffs? I wouldn't care.

A different question: What if we keep Rosen, draft Bosa, Murray goes to...I don't know, the Giants, and leads them to the playoffs while the Cardinals end up with three wins and the #1 pick again?

A "divided locker room" gets a lot less divided when a team is winning. I say, keep them both and let's see what happens.

 

[MrYeahBut]

We're Cards fans. The question answers itself.

Neither of which were top 10 picks in consecutive years though. Flynn was an aberration who had 1 good game and the Seahawks were dumb enough to throw money at him. They saved themselves by getting lucky with Wilson.

 

[Solar7]

Shane's right, we already look like idiots.

Any situation that ends with us taking Murray is complete laughingstock tier. We'll have wasted multiple picks last year. Trust me, every football fan I know is already raking me over the coals for the Cardinals even considering it.

Rosen and Murray won't be on this team together. You can't bench the #1 overall pick.

I hope this is all a smokescreen - I've never felt worse about this team if Murray is the pick. Pure doom and gloom for me.

So pathetic

 

[slanidrac16]

I guess we’d be happy if our first 3 picks were Murray, Hockenson and downtown Brown.

With Keim running the show have very little doubt.

As an eternal hopeful I'm putting my faith in him this off-season like a battered wife. "Maybe things will be different" I keep telling myself.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

That is a very good point. A little different because of where Wilson was drafted, but I remember thinking the Seattle Seahawks were CRAZY.

.....crazy like a fox apparently.

Hard to argue. I cringe when I hear Kliff talk out of both sides of his mouth, especially when it came to describing Kyler Murray and then telling the media that Josh fits the offense.

Like, what is the point of this charade? No one’s buying the smoke screen. No one’s showing heavy interest in Kyler Murray at this point (probably a red flag). No one’s trying to jump up to #1. All this is doing is pissing us off and creating uncertainty with the fans. Perhaps the FO has a plan and we’ll be pleasantly surprised in the end, but right now, the powers that be are handling the #1 pick like drunken idiots. Nothing about what they’re doing is normal.

QB isn’t a top-5 need for this team and Kyler Murray isn’t even a top-15 talent in this draft. From that standpoint, it’s illogical to consider him at #1.

I thought after a disastrous season that I could look forward to the excitement of having the #1 pick. It’s become a curse and akin to reliving the pain of 2018.
