I made a thread for everyone to discuss next steps. Come on. This ignore stuff is silly. I let this thread sit for days and days without saying a bad thing, before someone called me out for my take.
I love this team, I hope the best for this team, I don't agree with their direction. It seems like the only "bad views" or "bad takes" are those that aren't overwhelmingly positive, but I get zero credit when I AM positive.
I like you a lot as a poster, and I struggle to see why I've lost credibility in anyone's eyes unless they just want to pretend everything is awesome. I hope not to get blocked, but I'm also not going to skip posting on a board I've been a part of for more than half of my life just to surf in here during the offseason and rip on the team. All I want is constructive growth for the franchise.
We'll see what tonight looks like. Happy Halloween.
Solar7, I don't hate you, but if you come up with half the truth and compare Keim to Allen, you calling Shanahan a geniuse HC in the first year he is accomplishing something, state that you would blow up a team that is trending in the right direction, gosh...
that is hpyerbole and you know that. Is Keim perfect? No. He had some really bad streaks. Is there a better GM outside of the building just waiting to be the Cards GM? I don't think so.
Where I agree overall, we need better Player evaluation not only during draft, but also in FA and in House as well. Giving a TE that isn't worth a penny 10+ Million was a... bad call. The handling of TM was bad, Letting so many players on D side go was bad.
And I understand that Wilkes made the cuts but and calls who to give a contract, but yeah, I give you that Keim didn't do his part of the job very well. But fire him, c'mon. there are maybe only 4 GM that are really good then there is that GM/HC/DC guy and after that there is a pletora of GM that are interchangable. Only the last 5-7 GM are really crap, but we don't have one of them. But Allen is one of them, that is for sure.
Cinci, Browns, Washington, Jets, Dolphins (but maybe that total rebuild works, but I don't think so), Titans and maybe Falcons and Tampa Bay.
But the rest expect for Seahawks(0.629), NO(0.571), KC(0.675) and Patriots (0.699), none can say that they are always in the playoffs.
Rams are starting to get there, but still, this year could be the downfall and Snead is the Gm since 2012 0.504.
But the rest of the GM are interchangable, see Elway, got a Ring but since then he did nothing and he has a losing Record as a GM he even has 3 losing seasons in a row and is trending to 0.500 (.588) Keim has .539
Even worse, there aren't that many GM that are above .500 Keim is one of them and that is a top 15 achievement. IAIEKS.
So stop calling for his head without having someone in the wing that could be better. There should be at least 7 teams that should jump at Keim as soon as he gets fired.
So up to the game
