John Brown out this weekend

[NJCardFan]

The Cards are going to have to start moving on from these players that are never available come game day.

My sentiments exactly. Would be nice to get impact players who aren't made of glass.

I don't want to jump to conclusions but...

What's our medical, strength and conditioning program like that differs from other NFL teams? What should we be doing differently? Are there any teams who average significantly lower injury rates? What do they do differently? Should we do what they're doing? Is it all a function of the program or do low-injury teams acquire lower-injury players? How quickly can we make changes?

Maybe we're already doing this, but we should be asking these questions regularly if for no other reason than it's "good mgt." There's no time like the present for exercising due-diligance.

Brown has a medical condition which has nothing to do with how the Cardinals handle their conditioning and something nobody foresaw happening with no blame but I think guys like Nicked Glass at TE would fare the same no matter what team drafted him... I think this team needs to start putting more emphasis on players and their injury history in college and I am thankful they did concerning guys like Foster who the Niners now will never see on the field often

Out for a few weeks with turf toe.

Release this guy.

 

[juza76]

Release this guy.

Why?
we can get a compensatory pick for him

 

[Capital Card]

I get why we put our faith/hope in JB. He's only two years removed from a 1000 yard season, and that was with a semi productive Floyd hanging around. I wasn't a big fan of his, but he kept proving me wrong his first two years. These past two though....

Maybe that is part of the problem. JB isn't a 2, he's a good 3rd or 4th option . I'm just speculating, but maybe limiting his snap count helps to keep his sickle cell issue from preventing him from playing every week.

What-ever has happened this year, Fitz and Chad are the only two WR's I'd like to see come back, and Larry's probably 50-50.

Remember when the Cards put all that faith in Ryan Williams...?

Oh man, that hits the nail right on the head.

The Cardinals could field a team of potential that would be "potentially" all-pro. LOL

This could've should've been solved by bringing in either Decker, or Maclin. Frustrating because Brown seems like a real good guy that works his ass off but just can't recover fast enough to play in the NFL, feel bad for the kid he was playing good enough football to set himself and family up generational, now probably won't get that big money deal hopefully he has been good with his money to date may be his last big payday, and he may have to figure out how to griind it out like the rest of us.

+1.

The NFL is a business. This kid is not getting the job done, thus should not have the job.

As a human being, this SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS.

All I remember is John Brown spending all his time with Carson Palmer before John Brown's big year. Everything was set for John Brown to be a great player, and then the whole situation was blind sided with some crazy health issue. I do feel bad for the young man, on a personal level.

For football ? Time to go.

Completely disagree. JJ is good for go routes and that's about it. He's very inconsistent at everything else. And he wasn't even close to catching that bomb last week. It was a good throw

JJ Nelson cannot catch the football reliably. He could be a great route runner, and all that, but it means nothing if you cannot catch the ball. Nelson has worked very hard at making himself go from a valuable depth player, to being expendable.

All while sitting on 11 million in cap space.

The Cardinals have just over $4M in cap space.

Feel real bad for JB. Just doesn't seem like he will get back. Loved watching him when healthy.

There isn't really isn't a guy off the street worth picking up for 6 games, it will take that long to learn the offense IMO. Just ride out the season to a Top 5 pick hopefully and deal with the position in the off season, you understand Steve Keim. That means actually going out and signing a relevant player, something you seemed to forget how to do last off season with the exception of Jones which was a no brainer.

John Brown is missing a game.
did that come out as news?
