Oh that's just Bull Spit, Mayo. There are no rules which state you have to ignore utter stupidity simply for the sake of not offending..... the overly sensitive
I might have been mildly hyperbolic in my rant, but I didn't neglect any of the the pertinent facts in this case. Nor was I intolerant on anyone's' position. Nothing I said was untrue. The Cardinals DID make 3 moves SPECIFICALLY designed to move on from Housler. My God Mayo they went out and signed the "immortal" John Carlson to be his replacehment. They used a top 50 draft pick to be his replacement. They kept a guy on the roster roster who hasn't been healthy since 2011.
He's a TE who flat out can't block. He supposedly has all these freakish combine times that sound sexy, but has only ONE TD catch in his career and averages only 10ypc. Not exactly standout stats for a guy you want as the "flex" TE Certainly not what would cause you to relinquish a 2nd day pick.
The Trades you mentioned DID end up being horrible, even though they were widely hailed at the time. And even though they all failed miserably, they were all solid examples of reasonable risks that simply didn't work out. The proposed trade of Rob Housley for a 2nd or 3rd round pick(or a 4th or 5th or 6th) doesn't even come close to that level of risk/reward.
And as for me being "condescending" Moi????? Sh!T Mayo I was going for a lot stronger than that in my rant.
. I have reached my off season limit of the myriad of posts from those who think all problems are solved by adding Receivers. Somehow the fact that the VAST majority of great WR's never see the playoffs doesn't seem to register with the resident geniuses. If you draft/sign/trade for a #1 WR all your troubles will be over and life will go on happily ever after.
BTW- since you have seemed to set yourself up as the moral arbiter of what is the correct level or sarcasm or disdain for a position, please be careful. That first step is a long way down from that "high horse".
Besides we generally agree on so much. And who knows. You could end up being right about Hightower.
