The Cardinals….
-Drafted Kyler
-Traded for DeAndre Hopkins
-Traded for Hollywood Brown
-Spent their 2nd round picks in 2019, 2020, and 2021 on skill playersObviously dealt w/ injuries and suspensions, but the notion that Kliff hasn't received resources… https://t.co/jen8brYuUF pic.twitter.com/hZmrfLzXoz

Inside Kliff Kingsbury dynamic in Arizona, w/ palpable tension with QB1 in the building, a GM w/ far less presence in 2022 and questions from some close to him about whether he walks away.
‘This is not sustainable’

And, of course, not just drafting Kyler but taking the historically unprecedented step of dumping a top 10 pick at QB after one year to get the guy handpicked for his offense.
Stunned someone would even have the chutzpah to float out the "he hasn't gotten enough resources" line

December 27, 2022 at 4:53 pm #142337znModeratorPeter Bukowski@Peter_Bukowski.@SandoNFL has been saying for years that Russ wanting to cook was never in Russell Wilson’s best interest, and that the vision Pete Carroll had for him was actually much closer to the optimal way to get the best version of Wilson..Mike Sando@SandoNFLHeading into ‘20 it looked like RW was ready to handle more … but yes, a common theme has been that even at his best he was a different type of Tier 1 QB because of his height. It’s still strange to see this type of fall but also true that Carroll was criticized unfairly.December 28, 2022 at 2:52 pm #142353znModeratorJoel Corry@corryjoelDerek Carr’s benching suggests the Raiders will free up $29.25M of 2023 salary cap space by parting ways with him. If a trade can’t be agreed upon before the 3rd day of 2023 waiver period (2/15) when Carr’s $32.9M 2023 base salary & $7.5M of 2024 are fully GTD, he’ll be released..Ted Nguyen@FB_FilmAnalysisThis doesn’t necessarily mean the end for Carr. If Carr gets hurt in the final 2 games, his contract is guaranteed next year. This gives the Raiders options next season but not a great look as it signals that they are unsure of him.December 28, 2022 at 8:52 pm #142357znModeratorDerek Carr benching emphasizes all the misguided QB contracts of 2022
From Deshaun Watson to Russell Wilson and Kyler Murray, at least Matthew Stafford’s deal made a little bit of sense. Will the NFL learn? https://t.co/af1FToe2gp

December 29, 2022 at 11:28 am #142366Billy_TParticipantThe Rams, like every other team in the NFL, had a shot at Tariq Woolen into the 5th round. Yes, he does have ultra-rare closing speed. As in, a 4.26 forty. And, perhaps even more remarkable for someone a shade over 6’4″, a 1.47 10-yard split. Plus NBA-level hops, etc.
Also not sure why he gets compared with Richard Sherman so often, on size/speed grounds, cuz Sherman wasn’t as tall or as fast. An excellent player, but not as big or as athletic as Woolen. Woolen is basically a unicorn.
Love Lazard’s reaction to his own crazy play, and the play itself. He must have watched Woods and Kupp block.

Give coaches a month to scheme and it can become a track meet.January 2, 2023 at 9:55 am #142405znModeratorThe 23 combined wins from the Bills and Bengals entering tonight’s game are tied for the most ever entering a MNF matchup. The only other MNF matchup that included 23 combined wins was Week 16, 1997, when Steve Young’s 49ers wound up beating John Elway’s Broncos 34-17 on MNF.

The #49ers’ 10-point comeback in the second half today was the second time in Kyle Shanahan’s tenure they’ve overcome a double-digit second-half deficit.They’re now 2-33 in such situations.
