Bruce Arians is an asshole

In the third episode, this becomes an issue as it is revealed Okoye was let go because of parking in the wrong spot.

“Parked in the wrong spot,” Arians told general manager Steve Keim and team president Michael Bidwill. “There weren’t any parking places so he just parked and came running in. Tough (expletive), bro.”

Okoye was a former Olympian and Arians said “probably ought to go to Oxford,” as he is a talented and intelligent young man. But Bidwill notes, “you’ve got to follow the rules.”

 

You didn't cut him because he didn't "follow the rules", Brucey.  If you thought he could have given you 6-8 sacks that year, you would have just counseled him.

You cut him because he "parked" in your "spot" because (1) you were going to cut him anyway and (2) you wanted to look like a tough guy.

Well, this doesn't make you look like a tough guy, Brucey.  It makes you look like an asshole.

Why is this guy worshiped by the NFL Media anyway?

That makes him a liar.

He also comes off as stupid, for bringing up a parking incident, whether it's true or not. It must really suck to be a Cards fan.

lol.  Let that be a lesson to less-talented guys.  You need to follow the letters to a T or your ass is grass.  You don't want coaches to know your name for anything other than football.  Late.  Wore the wrong color.  Parked in coach's spot.  Anything.  Too much competition for you to equip them with things not football-related.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
