My perspective..Mr.Graves

[ds512az]

OK, I'm about 6 beers into this so cut me some slack, but is Mr.Graves just too nice to be running the "football operations" of this team? I've listened faithfully every time he has been on the radio, and you know what? This man has too much faith in the old "handshake and a smile" thing.

Now I'm the first to say that I will stick up for someone who wants to play by the rules, i.e. offering someone 300 million for 40 years, but the incentives take up 229million and the rest is voidable, yada yada yada. But at some point, don't you want to make the team better? I believe that Mr. Bidwill has given Mr. Graves the reins for some reason. BUT WHAT IS THE REASON?

We, as fans need to get some sort of "cookie" from management as to what this team is planning on doing. Are we saving bucks, barely trying to make the league limit for the next 3 years? Waiting endlessly until some hopeless corporation gives us money for naming rights to a stadium that still hasn't broken ground?

Something. Anything. Cardinals Management tell the fans SOMETHING!!!! Not just "wait til the team we bring to camp".

Man I need another beer.

interesting! What company would want their name associated with the Cardinals?
