Only strange if you don’t know the history in the building the last 4 years… Rumors have Been flying and most here dismissed them.

Really? Ummm practice is over Kyler before you leave the facility here’s a coach to sit with you and do your independent study that’s in your contract? What’s so hard? Before practice even? Logging time and making sure it’s done is hardly something difficult to manage.

I would imagine that wouldn't be considered "independent".

I would imagine some logging in on the ipad that times him somehow. Network time logged in, etc.

Ehhh I personally would consider independent anything outside of team film study… Having a coach present imo would be helpful like one on one with any teacher. But that’s just me.

Whose job is it to help Kyler study film?

Is Kyler a toddler?

Operative word: perceived.

Then you don't understand how paid media works. It's a combination of numbers and perception. The Phoenix DMA is reasonably large but the behavior of its audience heavily influences how much it's relevant to pay for the advertising space.

It's perfectly relevant for Phoenix to have a larger DMA by volume than say, New Orleans, but underindex for viewership of local sports teams in comparison to the New Orleans DMA. If only 20% of Phoenix residents watch the Cardinals on any given Sunday, but NO residents watch at 50%, NO wins as the bigger market.

At the end of the day, what it costs to advertise in Phoenix is far less competitive at scale vs. many other DMAs in terms of cost per thousand impressions. It's just fact.

I'm not trying to flex on you or anything, but this is what I do for a living. I manage multimillion dollar advertising budgets for Fortune 500 companies. Phoenix just isn't a major market when it comes to sports. It's not tiny, but it's not major.

Why does AZ have to have the worst sports franchise owners in the country? What an idiotic distraction for Mike B to add this unenforceable nonsense into the contract

How is it not enforceable? And I dont blame him one bit when he’s spending 1/4 of a billion and clearly shown already his commitment is lacking in areas not related to the weight room. lol

 

[82CardsGrad]

It 100% confirms all the rumors that were flying around about Kyler. If he was dedicated and committed to studying it wouldn’t have been necessary.

I'd love to know how many franchise QB's have today, or have ever had, clauses written into their contract that provided incentives to simply do their job... Ugh...

 

[RON_IN_OC]

How? I mean..... there are probably a ton of ways to circumvent something like that.

Super easy to enforce. Keep all game film behind a firewall and require a VPN. You can track IP/Location and time logged in, what's been watched, etc. Companies do this all the damn time. Heck, the playbooks are on those Surface tablets and I bet even that activity can be tracked by the team.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

I bet there are a lot of contracts with provisions that would seem embarrassing, if leaked.

 

[blindseyed]

David Carr on NFL Network said
they probably had to tell Peyton NOT to watch film for 4 hours a week lol

100%

 

[RON_IN_OC]

100%

I can only imagine what morons like Plaxico Burress, Leonard Little, Josh Gordon, etc have in their contracts.

 

[82CardsGrad]

I can only imagine what morons like Plaxico Burress, Leonard Little, Josh Gordon, etc have in their contracts.

Sure... but, how many franchise QB's that were the highest paid player on the team?

 

[kerouac9]

Aren’t you embarrassed that you’re implicitly comparing your franchise QB to those guys?

They could also pull a Raiders and give him blank film and ask for his thought on what he saw…

 

[Cardsfan77]

Season can’t get here soon enough

 

[SeattleCardinal]

Has anyone ever seen KM study a Surface during a game? Seems to be an outlier there, although maybe I have just missed those times.

 

[Dayman]

This is embarrassing for everyone involved. Most people will likely forget about it in a week, but the whole organization seems to have an air of ineptitude about it right now.

 

[Mainstreet]

According to reports Kyler already putting 4 hours of work in and it won't be a change for him. However, the team wanted it in writing. You have to wonder why that is. They wouldn't ask for it in writing unless there was something there.

Is video games a problem in the NFL too.

Seems to me like the Organization did the right thing. May not want it out. But I certainly don’t blame them. When you’re spending 1/4 Billion you kinda want some guarantees. I get it.

 

[Jetstream Green]

I have a feeling what Kyler's problem is and that is video games. For the position he plays, it's mental and physical and he once quoted his father telling him "how you do anything is how you do everything" and he does not like to lose. He identifies with being a videogame player and it seems to be more than just a past time with him. I have a brother in-law who got so immersed playing them that he would forget about his family when he got home, and this a technological professional guy, luckily, he broke free. It's probably an addiction for him that's cutting into his studying being a pro QB. There, I went full Mitch with a psychoanalysis, but that is just a hunch and not a full-blown Mitch truth lol

 

[TJ]

no!! LMAO
