Justin Pugh tore his MCL, headed to IR

What I find odd is that people rip Pugh for being injury prone and yet some slobbered over a very average injury prone Matthieu.

no one's ripping Pugh. People are ripping Keim for a bad signing (and questioned the move at the time). i bet if you look back at the people who rip this signing were mostly the same people who thought Matthieu looked like he lost a step... or three. I know I fall into that category.

Draft and sign guys with injuries, get what you should expect.

Rummaging through those .99 cent DVDs, Keim?

No one should rip Pugh for it. The front office should be ripped for ignorantly investing a ton of money in a player whose body has struggled to handle the professional game.

But at the time you said and I quote. "Would be the best move of the offseason for the Cardinals".

But at the time you said and I quote. "Would be the best move of the offseason for the Cardinals".

"He isn't Kevin Zeitler, but he would be a decent piece to add to the line. Would be the best move of the offseason for the Cardinals."

Full quote. Still true. What was the contingency plan? Would you like me to re-state?

The front office should be ripped for putting themselves in a position where they have to invest a ton of money in a player whose body has struggled to handle the professional game.

Ding the man for being a poor signing--which he was--but he's a man going through an awful time with this injury. All the best in his recovery.

Yes he is a nice person, not many makes a post to the fans following a season ending injury but this doesnt change the fact he was a very bad signing
