We're still in desperate need of impact talent at both corner and DL. This is where tear it down to the studs and using the TNT on the foundation really hurts - it didn't have to be this way.
Can we bitch about releasing Deandre Hopkins for nothing? Are we only allowed to remember the good stuff?
Remember all you want. But what’s the point in bringing it back up every few weeks that he has a great game? 2 years after the fact no less? Does it give you satisfaction? Serious question? Were Cardinals fans we all live in enough misery I’d say without having to be reminded of it constantly. We’ve all lived it.
I bitch about the loss to the Redskins in 1984 that knocked us out of the playoffs. I am old and have a better long term memory than short term.
Yes and we spent heavily for two average DL (below average starters) in FA this year who promptly got injured.
I’m not refuting that he said that. I’m saying when a player has a preference it is literally the gms job to get him to change his mind to play for the gms team. Do they succeed 100% of the time? Of course not. But neither is it okay for them not to succeed. It’s still a failure on their part.
I don’t view it as bitching. I view it as part of analyzing monti’s effectiveness, or lack thereof, as a roster builder. Do you not consider every season and every transaction, or failure, of a gm when assessing their ability? Weird post.
Making up a phantom injury to excuse the organization is more prime ASFN than anything you just attacked.
Not if monti is gone and it’s a new gm making decisions. If monti is still here, the passrush and dline are still subpar and Allen continues to produce? Absolutely. And you should too. Or you can just be mad at ASFN posters criticizing the failing gm and continue to stuff the poop the organization feeds you in your face.
Man, the two players most of us wanted to retain, on a talentless defense, producing big defensive performances is striking in a cerebral fan’s assessment of monti’s decisionmaking.
Do personnel decision failures not get factored in when thinking about a gm? We should just not include them? I don’t get it.
Zack Allen lived through a drunken GM debacle and a college coach being thrown in way over his head.
Fun fanfic here but there’s no basis that this is “likely” what happened. Cmon.
Where is your basis that it's not?
I'm not a Keim basher at all. I've been one the few that defend him but agree it was time for a new approach.Who drafted Zach Allen, Byron Murphy. Budda, and Mcbride?
Probably THE two players most of us were wanting to keep. I was even in favor of keeping Hollywood at a reduced rate but can see why he was let go. Now we get these 3 play prominent roles(yes, I think Brown will be a factor in the playoffs) for 3 playoff teams and two with a great shot at the SB.
