If you want to win a bet, bet against the CardinalsThe year we went to the Super Bowl we won 9 games.
Bruce Arians was ran out of town and won a Super Bowl.

I streamed Jordan Love this week.Been doing it all season.
He had an absolute meh game with a ton of garbage time stats to prop it up. The bed crapping was a team effort but Kyler was part of that. It's not like he three fro 350 yards and multiple TDs in a loss. He had 170 ish yards and 1 TD through 3 Qs. Maybe 100 yards or so in the 1st half. He was meh on the road vs an ok team with a bad defense.
Not saying we lost because of Kyler but he was also part of the reason it wasn't a competitive game. This team isn't good enough to withstand meh game's from it's QB.
I like that he didn't get sacked today. He's learning. I remember, on at least one occasion, that he actually threw the ball away when being chased, instead of running out of bounds and losing yardage.

Josh Allen is averaging fewer ypg than Kyler and has a lower completion percentage than Kyler by over 8 percentage points this year. Allen is still an amazing QB, but he has also suffered from a lack of receiving options. Every QB does. Even Mahomes is having the worst year of his career without reliable receivers, and he still has arguably the best pass catching TE of all-time out there with him.
By no means am I saying Kyler is a better QB than either of those guys, but downplaying the need for solid receiving options for good QBs is just irrational.
He has MHJ, McBride and Wilson.
That's the best receiving options he's had in his career.
You could drop Davante Adams and Justin Jefferson into this offense and they would look like ass.

Here is where I will defend Kyler.This is what is so frustrating about this team. Mahomes is playing mediocre for overall standards, not even just Mahomes standards. Doesn’t even matter because their defense is awesome. I badly want that.
This is not even taking away from Mahomes because he’s still the best QB in the league & a top 2 QB of all time to me, but man it’s so infuriating.
And this is less so about Kyler & more so about this being an organizational failure for the past 10-15 years. Ever since Warner, I believe the only time we have fielded a stout defense was the 2013 season.Here is where I will defend Kyler.
This defense is so bad that it highlights/emphasizes his mistakes. Look at two "mistakes" from the Green Bay game.
1 - The missed placement on the ball to Wilson on 3rd down. Yes, Wilson still had an opportunity to catch the ball, but if Kyler leads him more the defender has no play. Is it the biggest error? No. Lots of QBs make mistakes like that it games. The difference is that the defense just gave up a TD drive, and this was the Cardinals chance to answer. Instead they punt, and the defense gives up another TD drive which puts the team down 14, on the road.
2 - The missed TD to Weaver. Flat out miss and Kyler has to be better. That said, the Cardinals were down 14, and hitting that would have cut it to 7. Instead they kick a FG only cutting it to 11, and then the defense gives up another TD which puts the game out of reach.
The big issue is that every mistake Kyler makes is magnified because he doesn't have a defense to consistently keep the game in reach. Luckily the defense found some stops vs SF and Kyler was able to bring the Cardinals back. That is where Monti did Kyler the biggest disservice this offseason. He didn't give him a defense to give him a larger margin for error. This is something most teams with QBs who are 12-14th in the league have.
