This post is laughable.

Talking about how this is a sport for real men and being tough and brought up RG3 I understand you watch football but you must not pay to much attention to it.

We should of just cut Calais his first year then huh.

What does Calais have to do with your starting QB? Crying is for sissies, period. And I don't want my franchise QB crying like a bitch. Period.

The fact he didn't produce his first year because he was a project coming out of school. Hey lets get rid of Michael Floyd to

Here's a quote from Arians earlier in the year on TE's on the team's website:
Herein lies the Arians philosophy on tight ends, and why those guys piling up catch totals in spread college offenses might not be the guy the Cardinals will want going forward: “Tight ends for me block first, catch second,” Arians said.

Now to be fair, Arians says he thinks Heath Miller is the best TE in the league. I think and hope that how he projects Niklas. I hope he's right and Niklas doesn't turn out to be more Jeff King than Heath Miller.

They didn't.

In his 1-year as a starter, he averaged 16 yds per catch.

BASK drafted a blocking TE who can catch.

(This is a kid who came out early and I've read would have been projected as a first round pick in 2015.)

Yeah, in college. You sound pretty certain he'll come in and be a very good run blocker and pass catcher. I'm pretty skeptical he'll contribute much at all, let alone develop into more. Maybe he'll prove me and others wrong, but until then, I think a healthy amount of doubt is more than justified.

Well. I'll go with a "healthy amount of optimism" for a 22 year old and wait on the actual outcome with everyone else. ;)
