    As for Rosen, I think that kid can play. He made some throws vs the Seahawks last season that really wow'd me.

    Exactly my point. That guy was a 2nd round pick at best.

    I hate that one of the teams I hate the most got who I believe to be the best QB in the draft.

    Dude, Manning was NOT a slam dunk #1 pick over Leaf that year.

    It's the NFL...

    Value matters and Murray was Kliff's guy.

    Plus Rosen is an asshole.

    Honestly, I'm kind of annoyed at the Cardinals anyway, firing a coach after one year in the NFL is garbage especially when you don't give that Coach any weapons. At least Cleveland Gave Hue some time. I don't want to turn this into a "racial" thing but in my mind, if you're going to hire a minority coach, you should give them a real chance to succeed and they didn't. It looks bad, even if race had nothing to do with it to give him a shot for a year with basically no roster and fire him, especially when you turn around and hire a white guy who was lucky just to have an offensive coordinator position at USC...

    Sorry, I know this isn't the right place to get into that topic.

    We will see. If Miami really did pick up Rosen, I am happy he is out of the NFC West though.

    Rosen is an asshole, won’t get a debate out of me on that one.

    I agree it was a Bush League move by Arizona. I don’t believe it was racial, just more of the cut throat nature of the NFL.

    HORRIBLE optics though.

    There’s a reason why some teams remain in the bottom 1/4th of the NFL. Moves like these.

    I don't know if it was race or not but it bothered me in a lot of ways...

    I understand it, although I don’t think Wilks was a good hire anyway. I also think Kliff is a horrible hire on the surface level, he can change that but... no reason to believe the guy who lead Texas Tech to mediocrity will make an NFL team a contender. Though, he does have the Mahomes feather in his cap.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I think Kyler Murray is one of the better quarterback prospects lately--I like him better coming out of school than recent past #1s like Mayfield, Goff (or Wentz, the #2), Winston, etc. He has pretty much every desirable trait except for height--composed pocket presence, accuracy at every level of the field, decision-making, athleticism to evade sacks, the speed to pick up yards scrambling and a strong arm. If he were 6'3'', he'd have universally been considered a can't-miss quarterback prospect and I simply don't think his height is enough of a detriment. Drew Brees and Russell Wilson have shown that size doesn't hold you back when you have plenty of other skills.

    Now that the Cards have their QB they will need to address their O Line in the next few rounds.

    I don't think people are laughing at them for thinking Jones is better than Haskins. It's because they took Jones at 6 when he would have pretty much guaranteed to still be on the board at #17 (evident by the fact no one took Haskins until 15). Heck, they might have been able to get Jones in the 2nd round.

    Didn't you trade for (or perhaps more appropriately steal) Jordan Howard? I think it was for just a 5th round pick or something like that. He's a really good back.

    They did have Dennis Green (RIP) as coach too so I don't think it's a racial thing. It does look really stupid to fire a coach after one season when everyone knows the team is going to suck, unless it's Jim Tomsula as that guy should've never gotten a head coaching job. Then to hire a guy who got fired in college is just bad optics.
