2021 - Prove It
Man, I wish there was a part of the off-season where you could sign veteran NFL players to increase the talent on your roster. Especially when you fired your previous GM because he was bad at drafting.
We do have unproven young talent. We will add a lot more next draft.We don't have the foundation (solid draft picks across the team) or general talent to compete for anything right now. We don't have quality starters and our depth is bad.
Free agency isn't going to help for a couple of years...we have to build through the draft.
Bottom line - we have a roster mostly void of talent and a top 5 paid QB (ACV). You can't build a championship team that way or at least - nobody has ever done it. Why do we think we can do it?

He's easily been the most physical and athletic Center the Cards have had in many years. He's getting out on screens and blocking down field...body slamming DLs, etc. He still needs polish in his overall technique, but so far I think he's been better than any of us expected, by a mile.I don't get the Froholdt love, or the nickname lol he hasn't fumbled a snap or anything but he ain't directing traffic or pushing anybody around like you see real Centers do - just my opinion but I think fans will eventually sour and want better
you mean directing traffic like this???I don't get the Froholdt love, or the nickname lol he hasn't fumbled a snap or anything but he ain't directing traffic or pushing anybody around like you see real Centers do - just my opinion but I think fans will eventually sour and want better
Is that a Center directing traffic or a Guard playing Center while pointing to his old lady in the stands?you mean directing traffic like this???
It's like Joe Montana pointing out John Candy during the Super Bowl.Is that a Center directing traffic or a Guard playing Center while pointing to his old lady in the stands?
Just kidding man, I didn't see that last night but it's good to see

If it does we have an ish FO.We do have unproven young talent. We will add a lot more next draft.
It’ll take 3 years minimum to stock this team. Probably another two years to sniff the playoffs depending on the other divisional teams.
Hopium at its finest. There is no reason for Frodo love at this point.I don't get the Froholdt love, or the nickname lol he hasn't fumbled a snap or anything but he ain't directing traffic or pushing anybody around like you see real Centers do - just my opinion but I think fans will eventually sour and want better
Yeah, we really need the regular season to start.LOL… the circular conversations here are just killing me at this point.
Froholdt gets a lot of positive posts, because after we signed him so many "interns in waiting" kept saying/inferring what a terrible signing it was.Hopium at its finest. There is no reason for Frodo love at this point.

That’s the definition of the NFL of the 70’s. If it takes that long, the HC will be fired and you’re back to square 1. 2023 is an audition for Keim drafted players to show their worth. Otherwise, they will be gone in 2024. Either way, the MOJG process rolls on.We do have unproven young talent. We will add a lot more next draft.

You expect this to be a four-win team; how good can the starters on a four-win team be?Kazir White has looked really good at training camp and in the few snaps he has played in preseason.
Krys Barnes and Josh Woods have also impressed at ILB.
Froholdt has been way more than I expected at center. Heading into training camp I wasn’t sure that we had a center on the roster. Now I feel a lot more confidence with the Great Dane starting at center.
Elijah Wilkinson has been lined up with the starters at Guard since the beginning of training camp.
LJ Collier was brought in from Seattle and has looked like one of the starters on the DL
Carlos Watkins who was brought in from the Cowboys also has looked very solid on the DL.

Agreed and I'll say it again these are things you don't see just looking at the box score. I'll say as of right now center is low on the totem pole if things to worry about.I went back and watched every snap with him in the game. It’s easy to follow him since he is the one snapping the ball.
He has had zero issues snapping the ball when the QB is under center or in shotgun. This has been an issue for the Cardinals the last couple of seasons. His shotgun snaps are right where the need to be.
He is very strong and has no issues with big bull rushers. He easily gets to the second level and makes down field blocks.
He is very physical and plays with a nasty streak. I’m sure you have seen the video of him against the Broncos destroying a DB and tossing Zach Allen to the ground like a rag doll. On the first offensive play of the Chiefs game he knocked #93 to the ground flat on his back.
What did you see?
I haven't seen anything from him. For one, it's the preseason, and I don't generally watch preseason games. For another, I just bought a house, so I'm a bit preoccupied.I went back and watched every snap with him in the game. It’s easy to follow him since he is the one snapping the ball.

I have no idea how good a signing it was, but all the early indications are positive. Through the first two PS games he has graded pretty well. And most of the "GM's in waiting" have jumped off the, "it was a bad signing" bandwagon. Are you still on it?And you suddenly know he was a good signing based on...? I know--hope
It wasn't a bad signing if we were bringing him in for nothing more than a shot at the roster. It was a bad signing framed as if he were penciled in as the starter. I would absolutely still stick with that point.I have no idea how good a signing it was, but all the early indications are positive. Through the first two PS games he has graded pretty well.
