Too many people find this amusing and acceptable

[WildBB]

Everyone in the org. is saying the same. Unnaceptable.

 

[WildBB]

There might be a better chance Gresham is here than Bethea. He’s got a lower cap hit if released.

Btw how do teams like the Browns and Jets have so much cap room every year and meet the salary floor?

Calculated, or no one close to All Pro worthy wants to sign there yet. That should be changing this coming off season, mtl.

 

[SeattleCard]

No one should take being a fan of professional sports to the degree where one operates their daily lives out of continual anger. I'm a fan and of course a little bummed because I enjoy watching the team... but there is more to life. At the end of the day this is still someone else's profit generating business.

 

[LoyalRam]

I don’t think most of those draft picks have survived to this season.

Oldest original Ram is LG Rodger Saffold has been on the team since 2010.

 

[iLLmatiC]

Todd Gurley and Jared Goff made it through that last horrible year, so can we.

It can be fixed as fast as it sinks. Just need to nail some draft picks, get good coaches again, and natural player progression.

The success of this rebuild falls on Michael

 

[ARZCardinals]

In the stands we're laughing at the ineptitude of the team.
We were high five'n the broncos fans.

It's so bad we're laughing at them...and so was everyone else.

I can't believe how much $ I've wasted on this team.

The last 2 weeks the coach has said, "If we don't do better all our job are on the line."

Well they've not only not done better they're worse and only one guy has been fired.

Yeah. So 2012 was the RG3 trade? The fruits of that that still remain are Michael Brockers and Aaron Donald and 4 years of pretty dreadful football?

4 years of mediocre football and one season of dreadful football...just to be clear, and as i've comprehensively posted with facts here before...this is primarily a home grown roster from top to bottom via draft and UDFA. There have been trades in the last six years.

pretty much...Things are rolling now, however..

The Cards had over $20 million in cap space going into last offseason:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...alary-cap-for-2018-season-set-at-1772-million
.

They had $20M in cap space with Not a single QB on the roster and holes at every position. Signing Bradford and Glennon pretty much ate up all that free cap space.

We still have over $7m in cap space right now. We hurt our cap by eating $9M in Tyrann Mathieu money.

Cutting Mathieu saved $5M this year and $19M in future guarantees. When Mathieu refused to take a pay cut there was no other choice but to let him go.

This is the worst kind of soft bigotry of low expectations. We still have massive holes all over the roster, and we still have very little quality depth. We're probably thinner today than we were before Keim and Wilks started dickering with the roster.

Indeed this team is thin, thin, thin. Older players were sent to pasture like Frostee Rucker and Karlos Dansby. That forced the Cardinals to rely on younger underachieving players like Nkemdiche and Reddick. When the Cardinals moved up to draft Rosen that took away the chance to address other positions in the draft early on. That is the cost of securing the QBOTF and was the right choice.

 

[DVontel]

Donald wasn’t even apart of that Redskins deal. It was the Rams’ regular pick. Greg Robison was apart of the Skins’ deal. Imagine if they took Mack.

The minimal assets we gave up to get to the spot to draft Rosen are not the reason this team is in trouble. If we'd given up a lot more, like people were suggesting, it'd be really bad. Thank God we didn't.

The Arizona Cardinals enter today sitting at third, in the 2019 NFL Draft order.

So, the four teams in the NFL with one win are:

1. New York Giants (1-6) .481 strength of schedule (SOS)
2. San Francisco 49ers (1-6) .524 SOS
3. Arizona Cardinals (1-6) .552 SOS
4. Oakland Raiders (1-5) .545 SOS

We need the Giants to win a couple more games. They are the only team ahead right now that would be in the running for a QB.

Niners will be out of the running after they beat us Sunday.

Then the Giants can beat SF on Nov 12
the Raiders beat us Nov 18
and ... voila... we are NUMBER 1 !!!!

Huh? Didn’t you guys add suh, talib, Peters, whit, wood, Cook to your starters? That’s 6 of 22 that aren’t homegrown.

 

[SoCal Cardfan]

Cool. All we'd have to do is sign another starting RT and TE.

And by another.. You mean any UDFA for pennies on the dollar.

Because that's all it would take to make a lateral move at worst.

Well we should’ve done that this offseason if it’s so easy.

 

[mojorizen7]

Yeah that's accurate. I guess i don't feel like 6 off 22 starters acquired in two different offseasons is a large number.
My context was in relation to the roster and the current talent accumulated since 2012 when Snead became the GM, which is impressive.

Only one starter was replaced on offense this year(Cooks), and the change from a 4-3 defense to a 3-4 defense triggered bringing in outside talent this past offseason (Suh, Talib, Peters).

To be honest the Rams still don't have the ideal scheme fits on defense in terms of the linebackers.

 

[SoCal Cardfan]

Yep

 

[Bert]

Yeah cuz the vibe I've gotten from this board the past month is total contentment and amusement when it comes to the Cardinals... #MassiveEyeRoll
