Baalke made a huge mistake drafting AJJ. What makes it even worse? Alshon Jeffrey was available.

30 other teams made the same mistake

"He still looks exactly the same to me, can't get past his first read, still struggling, I don't know why the 49ers are talking about a reset, he looks exactly the same."

Clayton is terrible. But the local sports talk here in Phoenix is even worse. Naturally, we are all homers for our teams. But these guys take the cake.

Just yesterday on Phoenix radio:
"Carson Palmer is the best QB Bruce Arians has ever coached"
"Larry Fitzgerald is the same as he was at 22. Still elite."
"Patrick Peterson is the top CB in the game today."
"The Cardinals are the only true contender for the NFC Championship"
"What a dominating performance over the Bears last week!" (no mention they didn't have Cutler for half the game, or Jeffry)

It goes on and on. When I listen to Bay Area radio, they're just crucifying the Niners (much of it deserved). At at least there's some semblance of balance.

I love living in Arizona. But the sports media here is incredibly soft when it comes to their hometown teams. Hard to listen to.

I've lived here for over 20 years, and I couldn't agree more. Ron Wolfley is the worst of them.

Did 30 other teams take an obvious bust at receiver?

And this is why I never listen to Phoenix sports radio.

We've been over this. The 2012 draft, as a whole, was one of the worst drafts in history. Look at the top ten picks for examples.

The Cards homer even disagreed with Clayton, basically saying that he has definitely seen definitive improvement in his form and decision making.


I dont think Clayton understands how much of a Seahawks shill he is.

Clayton being a Seahawks homer isn't even speculation, right? Before ESPN, he moved to Seattle to provide local coverage of the team. He's unquestionably a Seahawks fan, and is almost undoubtedly an unabashed Seahawks apologist, no matter how objective he claims to be.

Look at how much Jimmy Graham is struggling in Seattle so far. People want to blame Bevell, but the truth is that most of the blame falls on the shoulders of Midget, it's just that nobody wants to admit it.

None of that matters. We wanted a receiver. AJJ and Jeffery were available. Baalke went AJJ. Huge fail.

Agreed. The guys just not a very good passer without running around in circles for ten seconds.

Sense y'all talking bout Cards fan that just made me realize that i've never ever met a Cardinals fan here in DC. Never met a Seattle fan either til they won the super bowl. I've met plenty of Rams fans tho.

No point in talking to these guys. They live by their belief driven analysis. How do you think Jonestown happened, or explain Scientology?

I can't imagine how good our offense would be with a top-5 O-Line.

A few things that I'd like to see the offense do...

1.)Move Kaepernick around in the pocket more. We were doing a pretty good job of that against the Vikings, but not so much against the Steelers.

2.)I'd like to see some more play-action passes, especially if Hyde is having a good game.

3.)Even though this is number 3, it's probably the thing that I'd like to see changed the most, and that's all of the 3-TE sets. The coaching staff thinks it helps our running game more, but I think that it hurts it. Taking all of the speed off of the field lets the Safeties not have to worry about getting beat deep. It lets them play the run better.

I agree about the 3 TE sets.

I think it can be very effective when you can surprise a team with it, or have some play adjustment options.

For instance, it could be a strong 2nd and short formation where you have the ability to spread the TEs out if you feel the box is getting too cramped. If you bring "23" personnel and now spread all the TEs wide, you can still run a bit of power and/or throw.

I feel we will get the run/pass formula down correctly soon.........both the ratio and timing. The timing might be even more important than the ratio...

So picking AJJ while Jeffery was available wasn't a huge fail?

A. Jeffery was weird because I remember heading into the 2011 NCAA season he was kinda looked at as the WR in college. I can't remember if it was injury/performance/combine but the buzz around him really cooled off. He went from seen as the top WR to maybe a 2nd rounder. Obviously he's proven that what ever the knocks were they were not valid. He's been tremendous thus far in his career.

When you figure out how to add, we may start discussing the existence calculus.
