Sure, I will give Keim credit for briefly exiting the haze of incompetence and signing Gonzalez.
There is no doubt AZ, that there are multiple, multiple instances of Keim mis-managing the roster, and the coaching staff. And it goes back at least two + years.
But haven't there also been some recent sparkling successes?
What if we would have drafted Bosa, or Q. Williams, or even Haskins for god's sake?
Then they're guys like Maxx Williams, Hicks, Clay and Gonzales, and Sweezy, and even a guys like Kerr and Murray (OT), guys that he signed basically off the street, but that have contributed. He had very limited resources in FA, in part because of his own failures, but he kept churning the bottom of the roster.
Then he plucks Drake off the Dolphins for basically a six pack of bud light?
I get mad too when I see Joe Walker starting, and Suggs looking 50 years old while trailing a play.
But Keim was the architect of the 2015 roster that won
13 games. Not Graves. Not Bidwill, not Bruce Arinas.
And somebody else pointed out that there are not a lot of above-average GMs waiting around at the Starbucks in Scottsdale, ready to sign on with us, but SK appears to be fighting desperately to save his career. He's made some excellent moves this year. Not just good ones. Excellent ones.
So are you at least open to the possibility of keeping him on one more year? Based on his innate ability, do you think that we should maybe give him one more chance? Not out of mercy, or friendship, but because it's really the best decision, long term, for the team?
