Keim is excited about his plan for the offseason

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Only solid plan Keim has for the off-season is not attending AA meetings.

 

[dscher]

He blocked me, and I didn't even do that much.

I notice he can really get his panties in a bunch at times. He wouldn't last a minute here. Lol

 

[football karma]

im excited too.....

just like getting on a roller coaster at a travelling carnival.... should be fun, but probably putting trust in someone i shouldnt.....

 

[dscher]

Hey, if our owner's stupid enough to bring Keim back, we deserve to be the "Same old Cards." If Keim comes back, we'll deserve every L, every injured has-been or never-was offensive lineman, every overdrafted 1st-round pick, every stupid 2nd-round pick. In short, we'll deserve our continued suckage.

Yep. Starts at the top. Owners can be real bummers at times. Lol

That's because you're a big poopie head and have no respect for....oh wait, we're talking about a journalist? Oh yeah then you're right he wouldn't last a minute lol

I feel like we’re so bipolar sometimes.

BA has an equal share of the blame for the drafting during his tenure. Rightly or wrongly, his success allowed him to dictate the direction of a lot of our moves, which is why we didn’t draft a guy like Watson or move up for Mahomes. (Have we all forgotten about BA refusing to let Hump even sniff the field his rookie year?) I love the guy, he’s a great coach, but he’s got his warts. He loves his vets and he has little patience for rookies and younger players. Ask OJ Howard and Ronald Jones.

The non-BA drafts have looked solid to great thus far. Guys like Kirk, Cole, and Edmonds look like they have potential to be solid contributors. Even a guy like Korey Cunningham flashed and brought in a draft pick when he got caught up in a numbers game. Yeah, Rosen didn’t pan out. So far only one of the five QBs from the ‘18 draft looks like a franchise guy. You can put that on our scouting department, but heck, three-quarters of the league missed on Jackson like we did. Keim learned from that, looked at Murray’s film with an open mind, and went all-in. This year’s draft looks just as good if not better.

We all knew this was going to be a rebuilding year with the dead money and re-stocking the roster from the BA years and Wilks experiment. I’m all for giving Keim another chance to build the team. Let’s see what happens when the Cards aren’t handcuffed with the residue of former “win-now” decisions.

Just refuting the bold points here.

1. We didn't have a shot at Watson or Mahomes, and would have drafted them if they were there, almost 95% sure. But there was no way for us to anticipate those teams giving up as much as they did, and no way we could have competed with that compensation to move up 1-3 spots. It was too rich for unproven guys.

2. "The non-BA drafts have looked solid to great thus far." ...What? 2018 has yielded one starter (Kirk), and Cole and Edmonds are backups where we're actively looking to re-sign players that start ahead of them. Not only that, we entered that draft with 8 picks and have a whopping 3 players still on the roster a freaking year later.

2019 has yielded... maybe the QBotF, a potential starter at CB, a rookie safety we probably need to replace/drafted a replacement in the supplemental draft, and 8 other guys who have barely seen the field at all. Our other second round pick is being outplayed by street free agents, short of one big play.

These drafts were awful.

1. We did have shots, but our GM had the wrong kind of shots and was not willing to pony up. Then he panicked and finally ponied up for the absolute wrong pony the third time around.

2. Completely agree with you.

We shall see

Or he might be excited on hitting as many bars as he he can in offseason

 

[Jetstream Green]

Their status just changed from “In a Relationship” to “Its Complicated “

lol

 

[Jetstream Green]

If one looks as a whole at teams, most drafts do no field more than three guys that stick with a team (I think like one year only one minimal guy stuck on the Patriots who had multiple picks)... the part which indicts Keim is his mishandling of first round picks where you are not only looking for starters but difference makers

 

[The6]

I don't want this guy near this football team come off season.

 

[AZ Native]

After K1 and K2, Keim is not going anywhere yet. JMHO. VJ, not sure they will fire him after 1 season, hope they do.

 

[cardsfanmd]

I’m excited for the offseason too. Keim created this cap space. Mike B is going to let him shoot his shot.

 

[JeffGollin]

It all boils down to identifying, signing and developing talent, and letting the odds work in your favor to assemble and organize the best group of players possible.

Starting with the departure of BA, we let a lot of talented players "escape" the desert without bringing in replacements equal in ability. Our roster today isn't as good as our roster a few years ago.

For that reason, I have trouble trusting SK regardless of what he says or promises.

Conundrum lies in there being no guarantee that new people - no matter the hype they may receive - will do any better (In fact they could do even worse).

Agree. People want him gone but it’s pretty obvious that MB is onboard with all of these decisions. If the team is playing the same next year a change is probably going to happen.

 

[Chopper0080]

No confidence in this man. Less confidence in ownership if they retain him.

If we can get Dupree and Littleton in FA for the defense we would have arguably the best LB corp in the league. Jones, Hicks, Littleton and Dupree would be awesome. Add a dynamic DE in the draft and walla, we’d have a defense.
The draft will help but we need to fill major holes with experience. We can’t wait for draft choices to develop and waste Murray’s rookie contract.

No thanks on Dupree. I'm not sinking big money into a guy like him.

What is your issues with him?

 

[Chopper0080]

Watching Lorenzo Alexander make plays for Buffalo with the C on his jersey pisses me off. Thanks Keim. Bills paying him 3 mil per year.

 

[Chopper0080]

What is your issues with him?

First year with over 6 sacks. Not a ton of TFLs. Not a leader. Gonna command huge money.

 

[ReasonableMan]

Hopefully his plan is to get drunk in Old Town and update his LinkedIn.

Shoot his shot is about right.
