So you're saying you want them to win this year and cost themselves a chance at a generational QB. Is that what you're saying otherwise they're losers? I don't give one rip about how many wins this season if we get the QB we want because without that locked down, we're going nowhere. Playing the long game rather than short term gratification over a few meaningless wins. And I don't care if Badwell is a millionaire or a poser - don't care whose money it is. It's just bad business to throw $10MM at Brisket just to appear to a fanbase that we're in it to win it.
A generational QB prospect isn’t promised at the end of this. This same argument was made when Kyler was injured — endure the pain for another season because consistent success is on the other side. We ended up 4-13, out of range of a good QB prospect or a haul, and ended up with a fairly ordinary wide receiver.

Sam Darnold just won the Super Bowl. Joe Burrow’s team went 6-11. The Chiefs missed the playoffs. Both Aaron Rodgers and Bryce Young started playoff games in their home stadiums.

It’s possible to make the playoffs if you’re trying. No one has lost their way to consistent success.

I think Jacoby Brissett makes the difference between a 3- and 6-win season. I have money on the Cards winning six games or more. I also think he makes the difference between Love having 750 yards rushing and 900 yards. I think he’s the difference between this team having two 1000 yard receivers and zero.

I have a very strong preference for being bad and fun over bad and hopeless.

This franchise has been losing for most of it's history and they haven't been able to find a generational QB. Why would this be any different. Only a loser mentality thinks the answer to losing is more losing. Winning establishes a winning culture. Trying to win games is the best to actually win. If Brissett is a better QB than Minshew (he is) and a better QB than Beck is right now (he is), you owe it to your team/coach/fans to pay the 10 mil extra to add the better QB. The fakest narrative is that Jacoby Brissett is both too good to sign because we might win games, but also not better than Gardner Minshew AT THE SAME MOMENT IN TIME.

The Saints tried to win games last year and still drafted 8th. The Cardinals are not costing themselves any future opportunities by signing Jacoby Brissett. They do run the risk of costing themselves some of the few fans of the franchise left and digging themselves an even larger hole to dig out of than they already have.

Cardinals' fans: A generational QB will NOT fix this mess.

Also, Cardinals' fans: We need to do whatever we can to get a generational QB.

Yeah...I don't care about billionaire saving money when they run one of the worst franchises in professional sports. I want to be a fan of a team that is focused on winning football games and doing everything they can do that. Not one that makes bad moves and then chooses not to make even minimal improvements because "*fill in the blank* season doesn't matter. It should matter, and when it doesn't it is a pure loser mentality and costs you fans.
Sorry, Chopper, but if you want to be a fan of a team focused on winning, I think you need to change teams.:(. I don't know if they will ever win, but here's hoping.:bang::newcards::stick::stick::stick:

I know it’s #contentszn but these are extremely normal shoes that people wear pre/post training. They’re an alternative to like adidas slides. Go to any soccer field and 40% of the kids will be wearing these.
Do they make them in a 15W? :D

So, why did Fonzie have to jump the shark in the first place? Like what if he just said no?
Henry Winkler couldn't let his pops down !!

The stunt was written into the show because Winkler’s father repeatedly urged him to tell the producers about his water-skiing abilities, which he had developed as a camp instructor.

At this point, I'd rather (if he doesn't get a deal done with Tampa) go hard after Baker Mayfield next year. Or even push to trade for him at the deadline if the Bucs are out of contention by then.
I’d trade for him now

I aint skeert. I do. You can throw all the stats out there you want but most will show he had a career best. If you're going to use stats to prove a point than use ALL the stats. As in the stats of the great running backs he played with. The back up front line he stood behind. It's all a ripple effect....the only outlier stat is Murray getting hit in the face from a snap (which would have hit a normal sized QB in the chest) and ending up with a season ending foot injury. That's the only Twilight Zone question that needs to be answered.
