Who’s our next qb?

[Proximo]

Who wants to start the 2027 draft thread?

For the 8th or 9th pick? Waste of time.

 

[football karma]

How can that be? He got 3 years 67 mil. Only way I see it is the guaranteed money was less.

basically the dolphins deal is a 2 year, $45mm guaranteed contract with a non-guaranteed year at the end

maybe the Cards offer was a 2 year, $30-ish guaranteed kinda deal

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Nah I think most teams want flexibility in the third year for even top FAs.

For most positions, I agree. But not for a QB you've targeted.

Miami seemed to want flexibility in the third year. And they got it. They basically have a $20MM team option and $27 MM cap hit if they decline.

Cards could have made that third year $35 million and it wouldn’t make a difference. It’s practically a void year.

Offenfort is a wet noodle and Bidwill is a dolt. They could easily have won this deal.

Monti, like the previous coaches he hired, is so unbelievably conservative and risk averse it’s comical.

He is the GM version of the prevent defense.

No risk it, no biscuit.

FCOL.

 

[Chopper0080]

They get poverty results though.

100%

 

[Chopper0080]

I think it's more that they overpaid and gave him a longer deal with more guaranteed money than he's worth because they had no choice with all their cap space being in the future.

So it will be something like $10m cap hit this year and the rest down the line.

If the Cards did that I'd want everyone fired and so would you.

More about what they should have done with Kyler years ago. The Cardinals act like the cap is this barrier when it really isn't. It just shows that the excuse Monti could not have afforded to cut Kyler was just another poverty franchise excuse.

 

[Chopper0080]

Wait..our GM did good?

He's getting fired either way. I do appreciate that he avoided creating issues for the next GM tho.

 

[Chopper0080]

No way we were paying that. But da Raidehs need help to protect their star QB.

Cap space can't block.

 

[some dumb guy]

Typical. The Beatles had a song…I’m a Loser. Should be our fight song.

Oh, I'm sure there are several fight songs that the cardinals can rock to...
Let's start with Highway to Hell, AC/DC

I can’t believe monti missed on Malik. We are cooked in 2026

We’ll never know but I wonder how the LeFleur/Monty dynamic is working in regards to the QB. You would think the HC’s assessment holds more weight and if LeFleur didn’t want Willis then he would rather draft his guy. I don’t trust Monti to maneuver up from our 2nd to get Simpson.

You think Willis is the difference between being cooked or not next season?

 

[RON_IN_OC]

You think Willis is the difference between being cooked or not next season?

Nope.

 

[oaken1]

Would it be an "I hear a lot about Drew Allar" thread or a "Drew Allar debacle" thread?

" Drew Allar caught in Scottsdale Nightclub Hot tub with ASU coeds"

 

[oaken1]

Well it ain't WIllis. How TF are the Fins finding the money?

Good, I wouldn't have minded a cheap dice roll but for $45m guaranteed and 3 years? No thanks.

but its only 23.5 a year... very manageable

 

[GeorgiaCard88]

Willis compared to the rest of the recycling bin QB options out there?

Yah I do think that’s the difference between a team with a chance vs a top 3 pick next year.

I don't think there's a QB in the draft or free agent market that's worth a contract this year.

 

[DVontel]

if we draft a QB that’s not Simpson, I’ll be annoyed.

Beck’s arm is shot.
There’s nothing in between Allar’s ears.
Everyone else? No thanks.

agree...more likely to maneuver down from 3 than up from 34 if he actually wants to get a specific guy

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

I might quit the season if they trade for Derek Carr. He’s 1 hit away from Steve Young.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

I'll stick by my assessment and say Allar is trash. For some reason people think he's gotten better by being injured. He stunk healthy and will stink after being hurt.

Cardinals will draft Ty.

If Garoppolo is the stopgap then whoever we draft is starting by week 3. This is Sam Bradford all over again.
