True - I'm talking about what kind of man he is. Michael has proven time and time again to be a total garbage human being. Not sure you can say that about the old man.
Agree. Old Bill was a spendthrift tightwad penny pincher. But he was a likeable guy and there werent really any knocks on his character or how he treated people...unless they wanted more money

QB aside it's 3 main areas of need at Edge, iDL and LB.

I'm not too concerned about OL at the moment because I expect some players to re-sign and I need to hear more about Williams injury, but RT may be added to that list. I'm happy with the talent we have or have developing in other areas such as safety, CB, WR etc

Look at the 2021 team that won 11 games, or the 2014 and 2015 rosters. They weren't stacked with big names, but we are missing a couple top tier talents like Campbell and P2.

What we mainly miss though is a QB that is as good as Carson Palmer was.
Big disagreement on the OL. Not sure what re-signings you are counting on. Jonah coming off injury. Hern off an injury. Brown was very mid. Beach is getting real old. Adams was ok.

Our OL is in big trouble as it stands, with more problems elsewhere on the roster. Monti really backed himself into a corner this offseason.

See the above. And the LT he got isn't as good as the Edge he didn't get.

Unless and until he lands some stars and gets this team over the hump, Monti is not "the guy." For the time being, he's potential, hopium, and not good enough.
This cannot be understated. Both premium positions. And he ended up with the less talented guy. If the guys taken with the additional draft capital end up being studs it changes the equation, but if they’re just average starters or worse it was a bad trade.

Not only that, but he didn’t even get the best LT in the first round. If you’re gonna make that trade and not gonna get the premium pass rusher you better get the premium LT at least.

Quarterbacks are 75% of the game. You get a bad one and the roster doesn't matter, you get a good one and they can carry mediocre teams. The reason "Many teams look good early in the season, but when games start to matter, that's when the better teams win" is because they have quarterbacks that play well when the pressure is on.
This is an insane statement and I feel like I put an enormous amount of credit/blame on QBs.

Your a counselor. You understand toxic relationships. Constant negativity and bitching is not support. It's abuse, and to try and convince otherwise is gaslighting.
That's psychology 102
I know right? Just look how poorly the Cardinals have treated us in this relationship!

(You use relationships as the analogy. They are two sided. Who has treated whom more poorly in this relationship? The fans who show up year after year with money and attention or the team who provides a terrible product).

This analogy backfired on you a bit.

Who is the best one?

monti didn't just screw the pooch he's still dating it - and forever will (anderson) be until finds a better edge then the one he foolishly passed up on - you just can't go quantity over quality when building the foundation
