LOL: Weinfuss tries to make a case the Cards should've kept Roberts.

Roberts ain't worth the money he got

This article is the literal definition of trying to make something out of absolutely nothing.

And Floyd's #'s decreased ever since they replaced Jay Feely. Brilliant! [emoji3]

Roberts was pretty good and I was happy to see that he got paid pretty well. If we had kept him, we probably wouldn't have drafted John Brown, at least not in the third round, with having too many other needs. JB might take our offense to another level, which Roberts probably wouldn't.

 

[CardsFan88]

Much rather have Ginn and Brown.

The numbers show what Whine-and-fuss? The Cardinals have 4 TD's by those two players and Roberts has 2 TD's.

The underneath stuff is going to Ellington or our TE's. There wasn't room for Roberts anymore. Liked the guy, but he became obsolete here system wise and got too much money.

Letting Roberts go was a case of reworking the WR corp to give it more flexibility.

Roberts was a slot possession type receiver with average hands. The cards with Floyd and Fitz already had guys to catch 8-12 yards hitches. They didn't have anyone to threaten the deep safety with speed. Hence Ginn, and when he was there, Brown in the draft.

It's another example of deciding what your on the field philosophy is going to be, and getting the personnel to run it. Seems like common sense -- but:

My chief frustration with Graves during the Warner years was that it was clear Whis was going to let Kurt throw the ball as much as he wanted to. This meant protecting him was going to really important.

Instead, they talked themselves into believing that Levi Brown was fine on the left side and a 7th round pick was good enough on the right. Kurt might have played another year or two if his o line protection was top notch.

Roberts wasn't let go, he was a free agent and signed a good contract with the Redskins.

Absolutely, it has! Sando did a very good job covering all four NFC West teams. Weinfuss doesn't do a good job covering just one team.

Well Roberts loves the Cards and made as many mistakes as possible to prove Whinesandfusses post look stooopid, at least today. I always defended Roberts and he has tools but too many drops.

I agree football karma, Cards decided to rework the WR corps and elite speed was needed.

Smokey made so tough catches today that he hasn't made in the past and his speed is fantastic. Ginn is not a fan of contact and alligator armed on pass and dropped another. Fitz needs to grab him and shake some toughness into him.

Roberts > Ginn jr

No, Roberts = Ginn Jr.

Both are talented receivers that get wide open and then drop the ball thrown to them. They're unfocused and unreliable.

 

[Jersey Girl]

Out of all the things to get on the Cardinals about, THIS is what the dude picks?

SMH. SMH. SMH. Literally.

I thought Roberts played pretty well today. I guess there was that one drop when Cousins rolled.

I think he had at least two drops, but he still plays like a rookie when it comes to consistency. Brown has had his drops of late but he really is a rookie lol

 

[ajcardfan]

Roberts has done really well for himself considering he played at The Citadel. But, he's a role player, not a playmaker.

 

[Cardiac]

The fumble that really wasn't but technically was, huge. I just recall thinking several times, sorry bud, hooray Cards. 3 drops at least and didn't step up and make a big play that I can recall. As I said I was a fan and defender so not hating on him, just observing.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Roberts > Ginn jr

No way.

They both drop passes, they both fumble the ball, but at least Ginn Jr. can pretend to return kicks and punts.

Roberts was everything I remembered about him yesterday.

So happy he is gone.

And to make another point, comparing our 4th string receiver to Washington's 3rd string receiver is not really fair.

Cause if we compare the same position for both teams its..............

John Brown > Andre Robterts

I haven't visited ESPN since Sando left the NFC West blog.

Terrible.
