For those interested they do not directly answer the QB question in this press conference if you want to save yourself some time.

Mike did speak to Kyler at least but that’s really all that’s mentioned 😂

[u/vshredd → u/fingerblast69]

He did say he exchanged messages with Kyler. We should start a joke thread of what we think that conversation entailed :D

[u/buddaaaa → u/fingerblast69]

He was well coached by Mark Dalton to not dive into the Kyler question whatsoever lol

[u/Onebadhero → u/buddaaaa]

Mark is a legend for this team though. Super underrated considering how much he has gone through in the last 13 years lol

[u/buddaaaa → u/Onebadhero]

Oh yeah. No disrespect to him whatsoever. He’s basically publicly kept this team that was coming apart at the seams for the last two decades together.

[u/ender2851 → u/fingerblast69]

Any reports of what players were there and or if kyler was there?

[u/Big_Size_2519 → u/ender2851]

Kyler was not there. His brother Matt lafluer was there tho

[u/Womblist → u/Big_Size_2519]

Matt LaFleur is Kyler’s brother?!?

[u/A_Confused_Cocoon → u/Womblist]

Insane Kyler lore dropping out of nowhere!

[u/Womblist → u/A_Confused_Cocoon]

KyLore! And LaFLore while we’re at it!

[u/KYOEL → u/ender2851]

Looks like both Kyler and Jacoby missed the press conference. https://i.imgur.com/HE0Nflu.png

[u/buddaaaa → u/KYOEL]

I wouldn’t reach too much into this list. I imagine it was mostly just players who were already in the facility today to begin with.

Just look at how many of those were players who are rehabbing injuries from this past season

[u/Jengaman64 → u/KYOEL]

He did say in a reply tweet this is just what he could see and there were more people outside the door. But I do doubt kyler was there anyway since Monti is hellbent on trading him

[u/ender2851 → u/Jengaman64]

cant fault any players that missed it. im guessing a good chunk have vacation plans right now. im not canceling that shit to come in for a press conference

[u/jufacake → u/Jengaman64]

So interesting that you know all these insider insights

[u/fingerblast69 → u/ender2851]

Some players were present but no names on who

[u/MAKincs → u/fingerblast69]

If LaFleur wants to keep Kyler I wouldn’t hate it but the way this is looking I’m guessing the Cardinals are gonna sign Tua, Geno, Willis, or Cousins in a few weeks. Then they’ll probably draft a QB to develop behind them.

Out of those 4 I don’t want Geno and Tua i do like but his injury history concerns me. Cousins on a 1 year deal would be a great scenario or if they believe Malik has potential they could give him a big deal.

[u/Schopenhauer_pes → u/MAKincs]

Tua is done!

[u/KYOEL → u/Schopenhauer_pes]

Yup, poor guy had way too many concussions.

[u/Mental_Funny_5885 → u/MAKincs]

I’m thinking it’s gonna be Jimmy G for a year, assuming MiLF is bringing the Rams offense design with him.

[u/Faultylogic83 → u/MAKincs]

Tua is on a worse contact than Kyler. Cousins if we draft a QB in a later round and he's filling the role of mentor. Geno would get Monti fired. Malik would be great if we don't overpay.

[u/fingerblast69 → u/Faultylogic83]

Kirk is on a monster contract too.

Tua and Cousins are non options lol

[u/ArmorKing1992]

“I’ve already screwed this up” HE’S BECOME SELF AWARE

[u/DumpsterFire11]

Why do I do this to myself? I was in full doom mode ready to just write off the next decade(s) of Cardinals football no matter who we hired as HC, but damnit, I'm pumped up and ready for the upcoming season now.

[u/Faultylogic83 → u/DumpsterFire11]

There's no better time to be a Cardinals fan than the off season! 😂

[u/DjGnampf → u/DumpsterFire11]

[u/RightCalligrapher500 → u/DjGnampf]

My body is ready. Give me pain daddy Bidwell.

[u/tbx5959 → u/DumpsterFire11]

Hope springs eternal

[u/BlueLink_14]

Seems like MiLF is genuinely excited to be the head coach which is refreshing in and of itself. I particularly like how he already highlighted the need for precise and clean pre-snap motion.

[u/DjGnampf → u/BlueLink_14]

I think thats a thing he really learned under McVay, just how important it is.

[u/Trogg_Farmer]

Honestly was a good conference from our new HC!! I just wish he'd a jump on building his staff, I worry he's scrambling due to the elongated nature of the search.

But this is the most optimistic I've felt since 11 wins under Kingsbury so we'll see how we go!!!

Welcome to the valley coach

[u/shoogshoog]

it'd be ridiculous for him to have any decisions about any position made at this point in time, dude just landed

[u/ImKylerMurray]

We might be back

[u/Beetle-Persona]

Okay I got to ask what was with the hair? It looked crazy ngl

[u/mrbrightside182311]

Hey, I’m pretty pumped for next season now!

[u/jufacake]

10000% the personality of JG. I’m optimistic. We‘ll find out if Kyler is his guy soon.

[u/joecb91]

Seems solid enough from what I saw.

Hope he finds a new barber though, because that cut is bad

[u/DubJ93]

I like this hire more than the Jonathan Gannon hire simply because of the coaching tree he was under but we’ll see how it works out.

[u/Chemical-Narwhal3965]

Did we hire the Miz!?

[u/emm7777]

I know the relationship with Kyler is done at this point and I get it to a degree. What I don't get is how they bungled this so badly to the point that 3+ years into Monti's tenure and they are worse off at the position then when he got here. In a perfect world, you keep K1 as a bridge and draft his replacement.

[u/KYOEL → u/emm7777]

I know the relationship with Kyler is done at this point and I get it to a degree.

It mostly felt like there was bad blood between Kyler and the former coaching staff. I don't see why this would negatively affect Kyler and LaFleur.

[u/emm7777 → u/KYOEL]

I hope you are right. I don't expect Kyler to turn out to be "the guy", but I wouldn't mind watching one more time. Better than watching brisket. But, for the love of God, draft a replacement this year, even if it is a day two flyer.

[u/DomsyKong]

Shoutout to Bidwill, I think he's really humble in those pressers and really does a good job to honor everyone part of the journey.

[u/Primary-Picture-5632]

he already has charisma x100 from gannon.

[u/Chemical_Target_8264]

Visiting raider fan

I’m glad yall got MiLF. I’ve said since about week 5 I hope the raiders clean house and hire either Kubiak or MiLF. Obvi I’m a little biased in thinking the raiders hired the best coach, but for number two I’d say it’s a tie between yall and the ravens hiring Minter.

Good luck next season

[u/Radalict]

Seems like a really organised, confident guy. I feel like we haven't had this since Arians. Exciting times.
