The Rotting Corpse of Terrell Suggs

[TJ]

Keim made a lot of dumb moves over this offseason, but probably one of the most boneheaded moves was paying $7 mil to Terrell Suggs for one year. He’s like 1/5 of the pass rusher he was in Baltimore and hardly puts in any effort Can’t remember seeing a single player offsides almost every game.

Then I read this. Not sure if Scott is just blowing smoke up our asses but this is a bad look

This team has been obsessed with acquiring players with AZ ties for way too long. It's an easy way to excite a portion of the fanbase when the product on the field sucks.

Suggs will also leave dead money on the cap (shocker!) If he isn't on the team next year.

When it comes to cap management, Keim is second to all.

In all honesty.. that's yet another nail in the coffin of keims tenure here. Just another tally to the soc schtick. If MBs head isn't too far up his behind he will notice these little things.

We've been through this stuff too long to just settle.. fans like us are the gm, the owner, the driver's of this bus... It's time to not settle for anything less than excellence. Let's put the peddle to the metal and push this franchise to move away from being in the scrap heap of NFL teams...

....... A little hyperbole, but nonetheless, my overall feelings about this damn team. Lol.

If you renewed your season tickets, because we got Suggs... Please step up and identify yourself.

I promise I won't laugh at you.... I just don't think you exist.

Man you guys turn fast. Everyone loved the “tsizzle “ signing....back in az..blah blah blah...I knew he’d turn out just as it has- nothing. Some are too obsessed with just name recognition and not the play of the player. Kind of like saying the defense would get better when pp got back. The dude is toast but it’s about name recognition around here.

Gambo made a good point. Why would Suggs want to steal from another team when Ravens were going to give him the same amount to retire with them.

Because he played his whole career there and respected the org. He might not respect the Cards he just wanted one last payday.

He will sign a one day contact so he can retire a Raven. I don't know that I'm buying What Bart Scott is selling.

I do not think "everyone" liked the signing.

I believe many said "too little too late"

8/8

If you didn't see this as a lazy PR move, you are the sucker at the table.

Way off base here.

The Cardinals were hoping for a Dwight Freeney type impact from Suggs.

Dwight Freeney was a Keim Time Signing for very little. Suggs was announced with significant fanfare at the very beginning of free agency.

I'm talking about what they were hoping to get out of Suggs. Not how or when they signed him.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Hahaha so tru but nothing beats the emmit smith signing....

Remember the gm in dalls neg yds rushing 1 fum lol

I don't think that's true, and you're not doing a good job marshalling evidence otherwise.

Freeney had 8 sacks in 24% of the defensive snaps the year he was here. Suggs is playing 70% of the snaps.

So you think Suggs was signed as a publicity stunt to try and sell season tickets. Cool.

Suggs had 12 sacks over his previous 25 games when we signed him. Are you saying they intended to pay him 7 mil to get 6 sacks? If so, I would argue that it was a terrible contract for a pass rusher.

It is tough to see it is anything but. He is 37. Coming off an injury. Decreased productivity over the past two years. Still a name. Local guy. Zero ties to the DC.

Maybe not sell tickets, but as a public relations stunt. ASU/Hamilton product, making up for one of the biggest “should haves” in team history , and simply another has-been signed by Keim to squeeze out whatever juice is left in that orangw

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Yup and this franchise had to scramble for goodwill on the heals of last years debacle.

I'm not arguing that it wasn't a terrible contract. I just don't agree that he was brought in as a PR stunt.

If it wasn't a PR stunt, I question Keim's talent evaluation skills even more, which I thought was impossible.

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

Keim's vision is never more than one year down the line. That has been more of a liability than an asset even with the 2-3 Keim time signings.

i think it was 70% this, 20% "good locker room influence" and 10% projected production
