regardless of how bad that contract is, people on this board really tried to argue he should have played baseball
So this deal doesn't start until 2024? If he's anywhere close to a top 10 QB the next two seasons, he's going to end up demanding a new deal before this one actually starts.
I mean that last tweet is a classic cherry picking stat if I’ve ever seen one. Why does it only start in week 8? Give me his overall numbers please and thank you. Kyler is not exactly someone I have confidence in, but he’s been a lot more good than bad overall early in his career. And that gets you paid so I’m fine with it. Not like there was ever really another option. Will be interesting to see if he ever gets away from Kliff
Murray reminds me a ton of Stafford in his younger days in Detroit. Signing a new market rate deal for a QB before he's proven to be worth it is just another similarity. Stafford got his coach fired due to his inconsistency and ultimately needed someone like Caldwell to bring him in and hold him more accountable to reach his potential. Hard to watch Arizona the last few years and not see the Cardinals having to do the same thing with Kliff.
because Kyler has a propensity for breaking down and getting worse as a season goes on? When most teams and QBs should instead be hitting their stride. And if you aren't good to end the year, you have no chance of winning a SB.
He didn’t really breakdown last year so much as Hop went out in week 8 and Kliffs offense and our WR sucked out loud. Nobody got open… and then he got some PTSD and fell apart at the very end of the year. I don’t have a ton of confidence in Kyler, mentally, but the breakdown stuff is overblown to me. And I don’t even like him ha
It's also artificially creating a smaller sample size in order to make Murray look as bad as possible.
Personally, i don’t think, “the second half of the season for the last three years” is an unfair sampling period when one of the major criticisms of you is that you’re too small for the league and you get beaten up.
of course. but I see the reason to point that out since it is a clear narrative around Kyler so far in his career. I think the Texas Tech is weird to include given how backloaded CFB schedules are and Texas Tech's standing in the Big 12 as a mid-tier team at the time. I think both guys can share blame for what happens to AZ in the back half of the season
Wonder what the number of hours was that the Cards originally proposed. 4 hours seems like the bare minimum
AZ: "Please watch more film and study defenses." Kyler: "You don't pay me to do that." The only way that clause makes any sense is if that was the conversation at the end-of-season meeting.
I’m not comfortable going to a certain place (like) with this post without putting in writing certain expected terms
Kyler Murray started last year 7-0 with 73.4 comp%, 20 TD's, 5 TO's and 9.89 Y/A and apparently, he was doing that off vibes. No film. No game plan. Just showing up.
