I havent been on the fire KK movement in a while.

I did wonder about the max potential of the team a bit. Most impressive win (at the time) without him against the Browns and in my opinion he looked kinda shook on the sidelines (imo) through 3 Qrts against the Packers. Which now makes me think it was more about getting over Covid completely.

However, last game he looked so stress free and confident. No hint of pressure on his face and truly felt like he team wasnt following any player's lead but the HC.

Im thinking Super Bowl now.

Idk how you consider the win against the Browns more impressive than the Rams tbh

Hell I had high hopes for Wilkes! lost confidence in VJ, don’t think I ever turned on KK. Lots of criticism for not helping the team out with more rushing attempts. Thought km was too small, would be hurt and gone early. Not that he wasn’t good, but not our first number 1st overall draft pick in forever. We were the worse team in the NFL 3 short years ago, it is not all Kyler as media says, this team is well rounded, VJ and KK has their style players in there style schemes, thanks to Keim.
it is easy to do our job now, fulfills our role as fans, just merchandise a bit higher priced. Seen tons of Conner jerseys here in Dominican Republic. But they were Pittsburg! No Cardinal gear yet. But will rock mine fishing tomorrow. Show em how to catch a fish and make a turd.

smushdown cardinals!

HAHA I was pretty pissed at the predictably stupid long FG that got returned for a TD.

Kingsbury has routinely outcoached every team they have faced this year. You don't boat race 7 teams and get outcoached. Shanahan didn't look like he belonged in the same league as Kingsbury yesterday and Shanahan has a contingent on this board that I'm certain would give their first born to him if he asked.

boy isn’t this the truth. I’m certain that there are a few on here that would give their left testy to have Shanahan and would fire Kliff yesterday to make it happen. Makes zero sense.

Shanahan is the Saab of coaches. Looks nice and performs well, but breaks down all of the time. You end up selling it when you realize it's really a shiny turd.

This thread is headed for the HOF.

Since I haven't made a comment yet, I guess I better get a post in if it's headed to HOF. When this thread was posted, I read maybe the first page and just got PO'd about the whole thing and thought the OP was being a jerk so I didn't read it until it got bumped recently. My memory isn't good enough that I know what posters past positions are on players/coaches.. love/hate etc so I just kinda take every post as it comes. I had to go back and see who started the thread anyway, couldn't remember.

Anyhoo I was lukewarm on both Kyler and Kingsbury, hopeful but in typical Cardinal fan mentality, I just knew the whole thing was headed to the scene of the crash (apologies to Ron White for stealing that line).

Year 1, watching Kyler, I'm thinking wow, this kid has talent and I like him, but Kingsbury just doesn't have it for the pro level and Kyler will be doomed, stuck with a bad coach. Year 2, great start and then crash and burn. Took what lots of posters here said that Kyler being hurt not withstanding, Kliff was the problem.

This year I can't believe my eyes.

Kliff has learning to do, no doubt, but I think Kyler was holding this offense back (not for spectacular plays, but more consistent offensive machine). It just took a few years. Just to be clear, huge fan of KM the day he was drafted.

North of the 49th.
Those who paid attention know that KK said it would KM two/three seasons to fully assimilate the offence.

And, yes, he added that, in turn, he would face the learning curve of being a H-C at this level.

Just to honour the thread title:

Not surprisingly, time outs could be used more efficiently by KK.

This is like trying to read Chinese... lol

Looks about on par with what Shanahan does with his TOs and that guy is lauded around here.

I am surprised to see McVay top the list there.
