I think Keller is onto something at least in concept.
But like others here, I can't help noticing how quickly teams llike NO and the Jets (and for that matter, Dallas under Parcells) were able to turn things around.
And as a (really) old timer, I can't help but be concerned about a pattern starting to repeat itself. It goes like this:
1. The Cardinal front office tells the public that it's operating on sound football knowledge and doesn't plan to "do anything really crazy."
2. They implore us to be patient, because they "have a plan."
3. Fans - who have accurately figured out which areas on the roster need shoring up - keep waiting and waiting and waiting for the front office to take action.
4. But at some tipping point in time, it becomes more and more apparent that little if anything is going to happen.
There were sporadic exceptions to this pattern during the past 3 years, but I'm getting that sinking feeling in my stomach that, once again, we are reverting to our old ways and closing in on that tipping point.
Even if we do sign Mike Gandy, are we all that confident that an offensive line consisting of Gandy, M Brown, Johnson, Lutui and Wells will be good enough to protect Leinart and open up holes for Edge? And (given the deafening silence of the last 2 days and loss of Kelly) what if we don't sign Gandy? Then what?
Yup. Keller has his point, but my concern is that the Cardinals are operating too far south of "caution" than even Keller would concede.
