I never said the 2024 Cardinals were better than the 2024 Rams. The Rams had more talent & fewer injuries. And their HC is top 5 in the NFL. The schedule comparison was between the Cardinals and the Texans.
Obviously there is no comparison between the Rams FO and the way they conduct business and ours.

It couldn't possibly be the fact that they were aggressive to sign top flight FA's.
Signing overpriced top flight FA’s may get you to the playoffs, but it won’t necessarily lead you to sustainable success. I’ve seen the Cardinals in the playoffs in each of the last 6 decades, but it was never sustainable to the point where we could be good for more than 2-3 years before we hit rock bottom & had to start all over again. I’m done with that approach. I want to see this franchise in the hunt for a longer period of time, when only small tinkering keeps us in the running to go deep into the playoffs with a chance to win multiple Super Bowls.

LOL. They literally won the Super Bowl 3 years ago and are in the playoffs almost every year. You're honestly thinking the Cards method is the way, and that the Rams are somehow doing it the wrong way? Incredible.

That may have applied when SK was running the show. Do not believe that’s the case now under MO. MOJG have a great plan & Michael is staying out of the equation. Once Michael gets involved, then we will return to the same old Cardinals.

I’m not criticizing the Rams at all. They won a SB when the Cardinals were a clueless franchise. MOJG were not there yet & we had to gut everything in MOJG’s first year to build something sustainable. The Cardinals are NOW ready to compete head to head with the Rams both on the field & in the FO. You won’t be arguing with me this season when the Cardinals surprise the NFL. It won’t shock me because I know more than most, but it will shock most.

He who laughs last, laughs the loudest. If you want to make money off those gambling sites, putting money on the Cardinals this year will win you more money than if you bet on the Texans. I had a ton on the Cardinals last year, then cashed out when we started 6-4. Won a bundle doing that. Cardinals were improved last year, but still not talented enough to overcome the injuries they sustained. They’re deeper, better developed, healthy, and we haven’t drafted yet. Last year at this time (prior to the draft), we would not even be able to play a game. This year is different. If we had to today, we could play a game.
LOL… imagine any other fan of a real team pounding their chest that in year 3 of a rebuild, the team could finally play a game.

Not to mention doing so while touting how the Cardinals are better built for success than a team that was just as awful as we were two years ago, yet in those next two years, they not only went to the playoffs twice but ALSO won playoff games the last two years.

LOL. The Cardinal rebuild was one that was taken to the studs. That’s not what the Rams did. And yes, the Cardinals are built to have more success than the Rams over the next 2-3 years. The Rams stay afloat because they have a HOF HC & QB. That QB won’t be around much longer. And the Cardinals were a freak bounce away from beating the Rams twice last year. I will never disrespect the Rams as long as McVay is there, but JG will be a superstar HC real soon, which will mitigate any advantage the Rams may have had. When the Cardinals are winning the NFCW, I just don’t want to hear from all the current naysayers coming back to the board eating crow & singing their praises.

We’ve seen nothing but improvement since the tear down, so their process to date has been successful. Anything can happen in the NFL, but I’m optimistic that we’ll see continued sustainable success in 2025.
Nothing has been successful until we actually see playoff success. I like how the roster is starting to stack up, but we're a long way off from taking a snap in the season yet. If it works out, I'll be thrilled. If not, Monti will rightly be crushed.

Typical naysayer response. If it works out, I’ll be thrilled and on the board to enjoy every minute of it. And if it doesn’t, I’ll go back to whining and criticizing lol.

Yep, we have too many two-faced fans on this board. They want to be part of the celebration when we win, and there to whine and criticize when we don’t.
i think you're just mad

us "two-faced" fans have been trying to explain to you (for days now) how the texans obviously made better moves than we did and how they're clearly in a better position as it stands but you just don't want to hear it

You have that a$$ backwards. It’s the whiners like yourself that are always mad.

I think you guys just enjoy going back & forth With PA, lol.

It’s 2025. You should already know what he’s gonna say & where his views will always align regarding this franchise.
Post FA, pre draft...we need some good laughs.

Yes, we should eat slop like 12 total wins over two seasons like the hogs we are and love it
The first season didn’t count dude. Kyler out until week 11 & the team was in a full rebuild. When we win 12 this year, you’ll be kissing their behinds. But, you’ll still look like a fool because you bitched about every move they made during this rebuild.
