What did you get right and what did you get wrong?

 

Nailed

- 2-5 wins

- Worst roster talent-wise we have fielded in franchise history

- The rookie draft class would be largely ineffective.

- Corbett would inevitably get injured and we would have to scramble at Center.

Whiffed

- Bryce would lose his starting job and be gone in 2025.

- Jalen Coker was another Huddle UDFA pipe dream.

- The OL would be significantly worse than expected after the offseason signings.

- Jaycee Horn would miss significant time during the season due to injury.

I stuck with Vegas at 4.5 wins.

Agreed on overall talent. Have not changed that opinion for 7 years now.

Same on the rookie draft class.

Same on Colbert.

Whiffed on:

Bryce being done here.

Coker being anything special. 

Defense being a push from last year.

Chubba breaking 1000 yrds for the season. 

Bo Nix (so far)

Yeah, I was also not high on Nix. It sucks he is doing well. Nothing against him, obviously but fug Denver and fug Pill Payton.

I called between 4 and 6 wins and wanted to see improvement the second half of the season while being competitive in games we lose.

We have done both things. That's all I wanted. This was a house money year for Dave and Dan. I am satisfied. Build on it, get to 7-9 wins next season while being in the fight for a wildcard spot.

There's hope for the first time in years.

Depends on how the ball bounces and luck of a season. 

Somewhere between 3-5 wins.

Nice!

Season: 4-13

Offense will improve slightly with Bryce playing better but not enough to convince fans and pundits that he is "The Guy." OL proves disappointing as injuries eventually become a factor.

Defense takes a step back, as the lack of depth and talent stand out. Not a precipitous drop off but noticeable as the season progresses.

Canales gives us a glimmer of hope but the offseason/draft moves temper that by proving to be a very mixed bag that sows doubt about Morgan's ability to improve enough upon the mess Fitterer left.

 

That's my overall season prediction.

 

Damn, that was more accurate than I remembered. The OL and "not precipitous drop off" are obviously way off.

I was/am still disgruntled about how bad the 2024 draft was. 

I was a Bryce guy pre-draft but I had admittedly lost all faith in him after last year. He doesn't have me completely back but I like what I see. It just has to keep getting better and I will be back.

found the bigger thread.  

O takes a step forward

D a step backwards

End result is a team that is picking in the top 10.  Who knows how the ball bounces.  I'd say about 5ish wins.

my 3-5 verbiage obvious better in the other thread though

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option s a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The patter it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.

      Dude, I'm saying the Cardinals have proven they know nothing. Not saying keeping Bryce is the best choice long term, just saying that we've made the right move for this moment in time.  But man, the Cardinals are never a blueprint for success. Haven't been since they were in Chicago.
