Football So Glad I'm not an AZ Cardinals fan

A couple thoughts from a Tech fan...

1) IF you think Kyler is the guy, this is an easy no brainer. Essentially, they would have paid two 1st round picks, a 3rd round pick, and a 5th round pick for a franchise QB plus whatever they get back for Rosen. At the end of the day, that is effectively what the Chiefs paid for Mahomes. Every single team in the league would trade that for a franchise QB. Obviously don’t know if Kyler will become one, but Rosen sure as hell didn’t look like one.

2) Kliff. As a Tech fan, I thouht firing Kliff was the correct move and was very surprised he was hired by the Cardinals. However, I don’t think it’s a bad hire. I truly believe he is the greatest offensive mind/coach in America. His problems at Tech were due to a lack of defensive talent (coaches and players) and larger systemic issues that have plagued our football team for decades. He had no veteran guidance helping him and a hands off AD. Every reason that caused him to fail at Tech is a non-factor in the NFL. He has surrounded himself with great coaches (multiple with head coaching experience) who are well respected league wide. Talent deficiency on the defensive side of the ball? Draft elite players or sign them in free agency. We’ll see how it turns out, but I have no doubt that Kliff will coordinate an effective NFL offense, and long term, should be able to field a respectable defense. I think he sticks, will be interesting to follow.
