Thank you for continuing to cover the Cardinals unlike other media outlets (looking at you First Take).

Monti GM of the Year when Cardinals make the Playoffs this yesr

[@joeyp1028]

Adam peters. Sorry boss

[@thechannel2398]

@jakestatefarm - Jonathan Gannon is a very good defensive coach and he now has the players to take the defense to top 12 in the NFL. OC Drew Petzing had a full season to perfect his craft of calling plays. His offense now has a legitimate group of WR's/TE with a strong backfield to work with. Trey Benson appears to be the framchise RB, the Cardinals have lacked for years. This is actually incredibly exciting!!! It is nice to have optimism going into the season. If their defense is strong, the Cardinals can beat anybody any given week, including San Francisco, Miami, Green Bay and Buffalo.

[@thechannel2398]

The Cardinals are going to be an exciting team to watch this season. Considerably improved on both sides of the ball.

[@joeycotta3988]

Dominated draft. Dark horse playoff team

[@johndunne3609]

I’ve waited along time for a GM like Monti. He’s my Favorite Cardinal. He identifies what he wants in a Draft prospect, he likes to deal up and down( how many years us Cardinal fans had to wait for our puck knowing the cardinals always settled for what’s there when they pick. Monti building trenches out. The NFC West is awesome. 49ers,Rams are elite. Cards and Seahawks will fight with every thing they got. Keep Cooking Monti

[@catchemcarlisle5655]

We deserve whats coming. Feels different doesn't it?

[@harrytruman3146]

Having a competent GM is such a breath of fresh air. Keim would’ve messed that draft up somehow

[@Flirken1]

He would’ve drafted another 2-3 LB safety tweeners and not found a spot for any of them.

[@catchemcarlisle5655]

People are going to be shocked when this team turns into a serious consistent power house. Monti is cooking.

[@TheKingofKingscorona]

i lovc monty man he seems like a guy witha plan. love the moves! 21 drafted rookies in 2 drafts almost half of the roster about 10 of them being top 90 picks. hes turned this team around. defense still needs some work on the front 7 but lookin bright. playoff wildcard darkhorse this year

[@averyy1x]

Monti is way better than Steve Keim the cardinals finally have a good GM 😀

[@cannonschwarz9554]

Not as confident in the overall draft draft compared to last year, but as a Cardinals fan I trust Monti. We need him and Gannon to in this organization especially after the terrible Keim regime. Go Cards!

[@eorozco7]

Unfortunate how long Keim stayed on.

[@TheKingofKingscorona]

in monty we trust

[@TaylorKaiser-ru1fx]

Honestly the cb we got was a lockdown defender and was better than most the reaso. His stats are avg his last year was they stopped throwing him the ball trust me we got a good amount of players and Gannon is loading the box just like he did on the eagles we are about to be a real team be excited

[@aarronvanburen8612]

​@@TaylorKaiser-ru1fxI still think Melton is a fail of a pick when we could've had Arnold or Kool aid if we made the right moves.

[@TaylorKaiser-ru1fx]

@@aarronvanburen8612 right but both players (Arnold would have been a good pick) need time to develop meltons ready to start right away especially koolaid he’s not ready where we need a lockdown cb he locked up marv when they watched up he’s a great cb and he’s ready to start…they went for a ready to go player over a project sine they have no cb depth I really like his tape Arnold is a beast tho I can’t say it’s good to pass on him but we will see

[@chrissimmons9743]

I'd love to see this man as a guest on GPS (Give Tom and Brandon something to do for the show during the dead zone). Maybe Rich can work some magic like he did to get Tom onto Total Access while he was in LA.

[@wasdd_d]

Love Monti, but my webcam has better video quality, damn

[@sylviacleveland9084]

The Arizona Cardinals will win the Super Bowl 59

[@zeus4885]

Cardinals should have drafted Nabers

[@jesseblatchford3509]

Now do Kyler, Rich!

[@dalemerritt4149]

Hot take. Cards go to superbowl

[@revan5293]

Let’s go

[@hammerdon1962]

love MHJ on his rookie contract. but 30+ mil a year WR's gut your team of talent. so i'd play him 4 years , trade him.

[@sangtuy10]

Hopefully if K1 is still the qb..he will restructure his contract so he can stay

[@Wrong_Hand_Drive]

Yeah because Larry Fitzgerald was a terrible idea to hold on to

[@hammerdon1962]

@@Wrong_Hand_Drive we had a lot of talent go away to keep Larry. He was the highest-paid wide receiver in the league for a long time. And how many Super Bowl rings does he have? Things would be different if there wasn't a hard cap

[@hammerdon1962]

@@sangtuy10 K1 is going to want a raise. He is not Tom Brady.

[@Bamaboy813]

lol bro couldn't videoconference from his office? Had to use the little post-game podium outside the locker room? haha

[@aarontracy5160]

Cardinals suck. Waste of taxpayer money. Over 3 decades of mostly crap football. Only reason the Cardinals exist is to provide older players a last stop before retiring.

[@elelias5627]

Yes Monti willing to trade Murray . Praise God🙏🏽

[@davidjones2037]

Did he say that? Monti would be stupid to do that. The only reason we are relevant is Kyler murray. If he leaves the cardinals will be horrible forever.

[@UtahCardsFan98]

Just come out and admit you don't know ball...

[@JorgeGarcia-gp5cf]

@@davidjones2037 For real bro. The evidence of this is all the games without him last season. When Kyler came back, we were competitive, but the lack of talent held us back.
