I agree with you 100% The drafting has been horrible 9ers are building with youth Seattle never stops and their drafts are solid the rams use free agency more than the draft ...but it's working for them Keim sucks at drafting and too often looks for injured players in free agency whom NEVER play on the field. and don't get me started on O line and D line. Is Keim the answer ...IDK. If there's a guy who's better ....lets take a look
Update: our esteemed GM is currently getting slammed at Maple & Ash on the bye week. Not you know...out on the road scouting for his three win team.
Exactly what MB & SK said when they hired him, made him the HC & play caller so no one could steal either.
This is pretty much a fact.... Though if I was a HC hiring him, I would possibly only have him call plays in the first half...
Does he seriously have a drinking problem? I know he got the DUI & all but a person can not be a problem drinker & then screw up one night. Is this a well known fact that he has always had a problem with alcohol? Even now?
Riddick would be fine by me. That being said, SK isn't going anywhere. I keep saying it, he's buddies with MB, that will keep him with the Cardinals, unless he screws up again? We are as you said competitive this season, handful of plays in each of 5 games away from having 8 wins & being in the division race. SK did get the HC & QB right, plus part of the OL minus the injury to Gilbert. He also got the OL coach right. All we can do as fans is hope he rebuilds this defense right in the offseason? That's the main problem on this team, the defense. Will he make the right decisions? Many believe due to his track record the answer is "no" time will tell.
I'm at the point where I am ok if we get equal production out of a new GM, but with at least a little more dedication, self awareness, and someone who learns and evolves. If nothing else, I don't feel like we have any evidence that Keim has evolved as a GM. It seems like he continues to do what he has always done. The issues with alcohol reflect that.
At this point, I am good if the Cardinals fire Keim, promote Quentin Harris to the GM spot and Adrian Wilson into Harris position of Director, Player Personnel.
I have no clue on the qualifications of the other guys but I'm perfectly content with firing SK, I agree with your previous post in that Kiem doesn't seem to have progressed in his abilities as a GM , I don't have a solution on a replacement but I'm over Kiem
