I’m just being realistic.The bar your expectations set is shockingly low.
If we haven’t improved the pass rush by the start of next season then criticism will be fair.

exactly. Basically we had 5 players of any quality.All rebuilds are not the same (as I'm sure you know Chop).
Part of it is a function of from where our rebuild started.
We weren't just on square one. We were on square minus-one.
Always next year. The entire front seven has one player that would start for half the teams in the NFL.I’m just being realistic.

I will have a better feel after this season, but as of right now, I feel more confident in them than Monti.the stuff on the coaching staff is encouraging.
This rebuild feels extremely rigid and lacking urgency which are the biggest issues I have with it. One point that I would quibble with is Monti took it to square minus-one on his own by his actions year 1. He choose that path (IMO).All rebuilds are not the same (as I'm sure you know Chop).

Where I feel you are being unrealistic is that the Cardinals are where they are while still having significant, unused financial resources. After a second off-season this roster still lacks top end talent as well as depth. All while having 25 mil sitting in the bank. As I said in another thread, the Denver Broncos will be a great litmus test in terms of progress this season. If they outperform the Cardinals whilst having dumped a bunch of resources in the Russ trade and taking Nix this year in round 1, then it shows the Cardinals have issues.I’m just being realistic.

Your infatuation of wanting to be a middling team like the Saints have been for the past couple of years now is so insane to me.Always next year. The entire front seven has one player that would start for half the teams in the NFL.
How do you compare Kyler to Carr? I think the argument for upgrading the roster through mid NFL FAs is that Kyler could potentially be a top 10 QB, and a deep roster with low risk, mid cost, short term FAs allows you to compete in the short term while your draft picks develop for the long term.Your infatuation of wanting to be a middling team like the Saints have been for the past couple of years now is so insane to me.
Curious... Who are you refering to?Always next year. The entire front seven has one player that would start for half the teams in the NFL.
People often bring up teams that go from worst to first.

The 1st round pick that has looked the part so far?
The DT that started every game healthy for two teams the last four seasons?
The DT that started every game healthy for two teams the last four seasons?
The NT that started every game healthy for two teams the last three seasons?
The MLB that was backing up two older stars and then started every game while playing good the first time he got a chance to start?
The OLB that has been playing multiple positions in multiple schemes that played really well at OLB but was never looked great in the aspect of pass rushing?
Or the high draft pick that has showed potential but is out for what was expected to be a break-out season?
The front 7 lacks the high-end talent, but to claim no one is starting material is a joke.
Sorry, that is just incorrect. Jones and Nicols has started all their games for the last four seasons, while having the highest % of snaps on the entire DL. Lopez has started every game, where he was healthy to play over the last three seasons.I'm specifically talking about Kyzir White.
1st round pick is injured and not playing. The three DL are marginal starters who would make any NFL roster but wouldn't start for a ton of teams.
All the rest of this is COPE.

IMO Nicols and Jones would be the #2 DT on most teams in the league. Lopez #3. The team lacks the #1 high-end talent. That doesn't make the others non-starting material.
Yeah, I just don't agree that year two of a rebuild is the time to spend money.Where I feel you are being unrealistic is that the Cardinals are where they are while still having significant, unused financial resources. After a second off-season this roster still lacks top end talent as well as depth. All while having 25 mil sitting in the bank.

I wonder why he didn't decide to stay with us, because according to posters on here we don't have to worry about practice squad players being taken from us.xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media

I'm glad we at least got Barnes on the active roster now.
The thing is Monti is rebuilding for long term success instead of a quick shortsided rebuild. That doesn't happen in one year. It can if you want to be competitive right away but that doesn't ensure the long term success that MO is looking to build. He's already cleaned up the cap & dead money issues. Now he's starting to build the team. The O is almost there & next will be the D.This rebuild feels extremely rigid and lacking urgency which are the biggest issues I have with it.
