When I read things like that I’m convinced some people must not watch any other football but the Cardinals game and only the Cardinals game. I mean… we see 1 or 2 year turnarounds constantly, WITH “sustained success” following it.5 years is a ridiculous amount of time for an Nfl head coach to finally get a team to a .500+ record.
The 2025 jaguars are proof that a team can improve in one season. They’re going from the #2 pick to division winners.
Same with the Bears and Pats. And all three of them are set up for “sustained success”.
Nope, this hopium is the same as 3 years ago, and is still just hopium. I'm not for the "Well, it's been terrible, but hopefully doing the same thing and expecting different results is the key to success" model.
Because we shouldn't expect to win when we don't try to win? Now that's a novel approach to building a winning culture.
13-17 is a losing record. I'm glad we both agree that he clearly can't win with Kyler.
It's Murray's fault this team can't clinch to get into the playoffs or win there when they have the talent to do so. It's his fault he can't elevate the talent around him. It isn't his fault that this team is the utter ish show it is right now. He isn't a 3-win for the season type of QB. He's at least the low end of average. Which isn't good enough but is better than what's rolling right now.
If only someone had crucified Monti for rolling with only one proven ILBer and gave him hell for that idiocy. If only...Mack Wilson's injury cratered the defense. Apparently he was the most crucial piece.
Because yeah, our coaching staffs are similar, have had similar success, and should be given similar amounts of leeway lol
So you're telling me other teams were actually good before being derailed by injuries?
Yet you're fine throwing away two years of football and then eating a historically (for the Cards no less) bad third year and signing up for more of the same.
However, at the same time, his go to is often veiled accusations of racism when swatting away negative opinions of KM. I think most everyone on this board was rooting for Murray, and we almost all now feel that it isn't going to work out.
You’re right; at best.
There’s validity here, I’m mostly bother by his seemingly in-game detachment, especially with the defense. How do you allow your DC to make the same mistake game after game? I want an aggressive coach, not an observer.
I’ve seen a good bit of @DVontel posting and not once have I seen him accuse any negative opinion of Kyler as racism. This is a false accusation in itself. He has been clear that while he probably liked Kyler more than others, he has had no problems admitting it’s time to move on, unlike the actual Kyler stans here.
He needs to throw them under the bus and hire a new OC and DC.
Tough call due to injuries & weak coaching. First draft; Johnson, Williams, Wilson & Stills. Second draft; more questionable; Harrison, Melton, Benson, Reiman & DTD. Third draft; Nolen, Johnson, Burke & Crawford. Wilson is why you wait 3 years. Sometimes things just have to break right to show what you can do. In Wilson’s case he needed the targets and the right QB to make things happen. Think about McBride. If his first season was based on most of the first part of the season, nothing special. Then Ertz gets hurt and the potential becomes obvious. Now he’s the best receiving TE in the league. Rushing to judgment and pigeonholing draft picks is how a team lets player go who become good players elsewhere. I like Rousseau, “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.”
This. All the players don’t simply suck. They are in the NFL for a reason.
By all accounts, this was to be the year B. I was 100% anti JG when he was hired but I fairly gave him the chance to lead this team and have me support him while he does it. This season was the complete opposite of "this is the year" and in actuality was one of the top 3 worst seasons I've ever witnessed as a Cardinals fan. Injuries be damned, the product was just unbearable. Just made me hate turning on the TV each Sunday. For that crime alone, I never want to see him on that sideline again.
Who is saying this about other bottom feeders?
