Spinning the same yarn as last year, I see. This room is fine, you say? Last year's was fine, you say? How were they down the stretch when the rookie crumbled and the oft-injured vet got injured? The answer is they were toast.
C'mon, sunshine brigade? Why aren't you attacking Harry for the exact same opinion I have? Don't you supposedly have facts on your side? smh
Call as I see it.
Hmmm....Trayvon Mullen who has three seasons of average to above average CB play for a pittance.
Jerk colored glasses, eh?
An opinion based on nothing is garbage.
This statement is based on what? Mullen was an average to above average starter....based on facts.Jerk colored glasses, eh?
I like the trade. We desperately needed CB help. He can help as a low-end starter, sure, maybe high-end depth.
Murphy is a good starter.
So you're being argumentative while agreeing with me? I agree Mullen is going to be a starter for us. I agree Murphy is a good starter. It's just...we don't have another starting-quality CB (you need 3) and the depth is really bad. Hamilton's MIA and is at best a 4, and Wilson may not even be worth a roster spot unless he bounces back in a big way. I hope he does, but Keim hasn't left us any leeway there.
I'm arguing a results based approach. The Cardinals had the 6th ranked pass defense based on DVOA. So your hemming and hawing over an almost top 5 group is kind of....laughable and misplaced.
I don't either, which is why I liked the trade.
Corners just don't matter as much to the Vance Joseph defense it seems. That's why it might actually be real dumb to throw money at Byron Murphy when he invariably gets offered a big contract next offseason.
In fairness Jeff Gladney who was killed was suppossed to be a starter, so they did make one move.
This is true. At the time, we still needed more help. After his horrible death, Keim had tons of time to plug the extra hole, and refused.
He was worse. He started good and badly regressed. If you mean he won't be worse than at the end of the season, well, he needs to be worlds better, not simply "not worse."
I HOPE so. He might be the weaklink all year though. I was happy that we had Hamilton so that he wouldn't have to play if he struggled. Once the Cardinals traded for Mullen, I thought that Mullen, Murphy, and Hamilton is a solid group, but damn...
Yes regressed, his performances reached the bottom, every pass in his area were completed passes
By the time he died no good free agents were still on the market, and teams do not normally give up starting level corners unless they have extras - which they rarely do.
Truth
I put my reputation on the line here just about every time I post. Just a few people listen to me and I have only been banned twice.
Shows the mods must be sleeping.
Right. So, like, nothing was his fault and he in fact isn't a concern moving forward? Weird how every single negative stance is a hill for you to die on.
