Re-signed to squad, Quigley cut.

Keim loves him some garbage punters.

So Quigley forces a fumble and Keim repays him by cutting him. quigley a punts weren't spectacular but his hang time at least in person seemed eons longer than Butler. I just don't get this at all.

This can only be a joke, right?

I don't get why our blowhard coaches and Keim, whom I thought to be a smart man, insist on having a huge disadvantage at such a crucial position that puts us in bad field position all game long. While Quigley wasn't a world beater, it was clearly evident that his punts are better. Source: The naked eye of any casual football fan!

The "better holder" argument is hot garbage. Normally Punters shouldn't really matter that much, but my optimism for us sneaking into the playoff has faded away when hearing that horrible news.

Because of a PUNTER!!! Geez... :(

There is no doubt Butler owns some pics that would embarass Arians, Keim or a member of the Bidwill family.

Our odds to sneak into a wildcard spot have just shrunk significantly. Can't overcome bad field position all game long. All because of a schoolyard level Punter. Might just go for it on every 4th down shorter than 10 yards, result wouldn't be much different.

hang time was the only improvement and I would keep that improvement IMO

I like it, what's not to like?

Quigley had a higher total average, a higher net average, essentially identical inside 20%, was just fine on the holds.

Unreal, it's not like Butler never has a punt blocked either.

Meh. Neither one was spectacular & there's no one out there available that can do better. If the coaching staff likes Butler better then so be it.

Half the ASN commenters on a 3-day bender could kick a bowling ball farther and higher than either of these JAMFs. I have NO idea what these guys are thinking. Look for ST to lose at least one more game from here on in, maybe 2-3. Will probably keep Cards out of the playoffs. MARK IT!

Is it really possible that there aren't any better punters on planet earth who aren't employed than these two guys? Is it really that difficult?

Because the Cardinals seem more than willing, nare I say eager to employ Drew Butler, and he is TERRIBLE.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm oversimplifying the position but I cant help it, everytime I watch him suck I think; HOW? How is it possible that we cant pay someone to kick a football better than this...
