So Kyler is on a 2 year prove=it deal. I think the FO correctly saw that the number of good QBs was limited this year but next year looks good. If Kyler fades again this year then I think the Cards draft a QB next year when the pickings are better. Kyler needs to fucking grow up and lead this team. If he can't take the next step in his development then he's trade bait in 2023.
Personally, I don't see Kyler changing himself in one year. Also, Kyler's contract has a clause that voids all guaranteed money if he leaves to play MLB. So the Cards are going to try to be #2 in the NFCW and make the playoffs as a wildcard. This reminds me of how the Spanos family had the Chargers flopping around like a half-dead fish, always hoping for the next year that never comes.
Building a team starts with ownership and hiring the GM and his staff to make it happen. The Rams have ownership that understands team building because of their involvement with pro soccer in Europe. Stan hired Les and gave him the freedom to build the team his way. They hired McVay a bold move at the time. Once that last piece was in place the team building began.
The Cards and Bidwell are clueless. They simply can't admit that Kliff steered them down a cul de sac and next year they will have to back out and start all over again. So the Cards will be in transition for at least then next 3 years.
All the top winning teams have competent ownership. The Cards are as clueless as Kyler and Kliff.
