Ouch - Bickley Eviscerates Keim

[Dback Jon]

Because I'm obligated to check every week, our new dead money figure is.....

$38,219,392

In other words, enough dead money to pay two elite skill-position players.

What site do you use?

Would be interesting to see how that compares to others

 

[Dback Jon]

Not when we have a number in dead money that is almost three times what Larry makes.

Him and Chandler are the only two worth the big bucks they are getting right now.

Also..... Isn't Brady making more than Fitz?

Brady has never been among the top paid QB's, which is a position that garners more average pay than a WR.

The benefits of having a wife that makes far more than you - you can take the huge discount to help the team. Brady has generally made 8-10 million LESS a season than market value.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

On the plus side we should be major players in next year's free agency. All that dead money is gone and we will have something like $70m to throw around.

unfortunately, if Keim is still given the purse, i have no faith he's going to have a clue what to do with it. he hasn't for the last three years. expecting change at this point is an exercise in futility.

He also has a poop ton of sponsors and what not..not sure if the wifey thing comes into play for a guy like him, but either way, not a bad spot to be in... That's for sure.

I think we're going to be in the Top 10 in terms of cap, but not the top 5.

Basically, where we were THIS offseason.

It can not be allowed to happen.

On what planet is 9 starters in 7 years (53 picks) solid drafting, especially when 3 are from this year, are starting because of injuries/suspensions, and a whopping two are on their second contract, which wouldn't be the case if anyone at all offered Rodney Gunter a dime?

It's been an unmitigated disaster, and I'm only going with the picks he actually made, not the ones he traded away in complete wastes like a 3rd and a 5th for Rosen, who we immediately moved on from?

I’m beside myself on how Keim seems to have so many supporters after allowing this team to fall back into the toilet after a few years of sustained success. People are still blaming Arians for pasts drafts but he hasn’t been in the building for 2 #&@*#&$ years. Where’s the improvement? Last year it was Bidwill who apparently hired Wilks and McCoy against Keim’s wishes so he gets a pass for that as well.
Let’s keep drafting quarterbacks and hiring coaches while neglecting the foundation is directly out of the Haslam handbook of how to run a franchise into the ground.

You know like only 50% of first rounders even make it to there second contracts right and it only goes down the further you get in the draft.

He’s pretty much in the middle of the pack when it comes to the draft. Those are stats bud we’ve been over this a 100x on this board.

Great, only 50% of first rounders make it to their second contract and Keim has... *looks*

...zero.

In 2017 (pre-draft) we were ranked 27th for draft efficiency https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/gallery/nfl-draft-teams-picks-draft-records-ranked-2012-present-030117.

That's without the debacles that were 2017 and 2018, where we managed to pick up a total of 3 starters, one of which (Reddick), no one is going to expect us to re-sign, maybe not even pick up his option. Budda Baker is alright, I guess, but it's clear he's not going to be a star unless something major changes.

Even the one player under an extension that we used to be excited about (Johnson), is dividing the fanbase as a non-factor.

The fire is lit, only winning will put it out now...

We’ll have enough to bring back Sam Bradford. That should fix things

Bruce was having a scotch and playing golf when Keim spent that cash on QB’s

 

[Mainstreet]

The Cardinals need to change GMs and find out if they are on the right course. This position effects everything in the organization from coaching, to the draft and free agency. It's time to bring in someone respected with fresh eyes. I simply do not not have confidence in Keim overseeing another offseason.

BA's failure to want to draft/develop a QBOTF left the Cards scrambling with no plan when CP retired.

Sorry Jon that’s the responsibility of the general manager not the coach and Bruce had nothing to do with signing Bradford, Glennon or taking a massive cap hit on a 1st round quarterback traded after year one.
I guess Steve’s not only a poor evaluator of talent he’s also a panty waste.

PLanning for the future is Steve Keim's job. If he didn't want to do his job, he also takes responsibility for that.

This is too funny.

Is it not the job of the general manager to plan for the future of the football team?

 

[Arz101]

Keim will stay in 2020 if Cardinals win more than 2 games this season. After 2020 if it doesn't improve Keim is gone.

Add to that:

A Smith
Glennon
Nkemdiche
Bethea

all are career-defining moves and symptomatic of how bad Keim had mismanaged the roster

I think Bethea is fine, the Jermaine Gresham contract is what Keim should be locked up for.
