It's time to bench Kalil

It is beyond Remmers.  I also can't imagine Amini or Moton being much worse.  Give them a try.

He has to be in the coach's doghouse after this game.  

He seriously does not block..he just holds the guy as long as he can before they blow by him or just slightly shoves the DE.

Can’t believe we handed this chump a sack of cash when Andrew Whitworth could have been in Carolina. With the vets on this team, adding another that would have actually warranted the price would have gone a long way and given us just enough time to properly address the position in another year or two when Whitworth hangs em up.

Not even just Whitworth.  Considering the cash we gave him there was Reiff, Wagner, a few others.

He held the guy (got flagged for it) and then grabbed the guy's helmet (getting another flag) in the same play AND the guy still hit Cam. 

Heck, I can't defend keeping the guy among the starters or even on the team anymore. I had hopes for him, but it's like we bought him mail order without really reading the product description.

That early play when Cam had half an hour then lay down for the sack, he did great. I was hopeful that he might bring his improved form into this game. After that though, it was his penalties that killed us. It won't get any easier for him against the Vikes. So much for the hope that he had turned the corner.

I hate Kalil as much as the next person, but Amini is the last person I want to see on the field. The few times he has come in when Turner got hurt, he looked unbelievably awful (and that is blocking a DT on pass rush). I can't even fathom how terrible he would be blocking ends on the pass rush.

No idea about Moton, but hopefully he and Williams are the starting tackles next season.

Reallllly bad.  Beyond Byron Bell, he's Nate Chandler bad.  

Seriously, when he's causing sacks and not getting RBs holes, there's absolutely no reason to keep him out there.  His being on the field is actively hurting the offense and honestly, a big reason why we're not getting it together.

Williams is a pure RT/Guard type so I wouldn't want to try him but Moton should get a look at this point.  We took him right after Dion Dawkins who's done well.  Just try it out.  Kalil needs to be benched.  He's holding the entire offense back.

    • Totally.  I'm less comparing them as players and using him as a reference point.  I legitimately think Bryce is capable of being a better NFL QB than Kyler has been.  Kyler has no clutch gene and doesn't seem to have a grip on the locker room, or much love for the game.  Much different body types/strengths and weaknesses.   Crazy to think-- but Kyler is at year 7 as a 1.01...38-48-1 on his career, 0-1 in the playoffs. He's somehow played well enough to keep it going but crazy to think he's barely even touched the playoffs.  Hasn't done anything that special for the Cards.  That's what you don't want to be stuck in.  Cardinals are in softball purgatory with him.    
    • It's not analysis. There was no attempt to analyze anything or even convey new information at all.
    • As to the topic, I've complained before about "superstar" mentality, i.e. the notion that you can win championships with one superstar player surrounded by a group of mediocre fill ins. It just doesn't work. The Manning-Brady rivalry was something of a showcase for that. The Colts general approach focused everything on Manning. The Patriots? Oh, they also had a superstar quarterback but they built a complete team, especially on the defensive side. This sort of thing is why I've argued many times that "system quarterback" should be to considered a description, not an insult. I know everybody loves the "MVP" athletic types, and they're fun to watch, but that's not necessarily the true path to consistent winning and championship glory.
