Murray is a good player, who is now so overpaid his team has no chance at winning a SB.

    I'm sorry I brough such a depressing topic into the blog.  A little back story without too much detail. I met my friend 12 years ago during an AF commissioning program. He was on top of the world

Tbh they didnt have a chance until they fire kingsbury anyway. So they were basically wasting his rookie contract and not going to win either. 

that said murray has had the same issues every year. Starts off hot, then gets banged up and is a shell of himself by seasons end. Add on every game he has 2-3 WTF are you doing moments (rams playoff game is one of the many examples). Until he finds solutions for those two problems they were never winning.

Good -  My concern is that he would be the QB the Eagles would target in a trade.

Imagine how much he would have gotten if he wasn’t a RB masquerading as a QB.

Meh - Kyler Murray is Doug Flutie.

He isn't fired yet.

Signing Murray would have been fine, but trading real assets and paying Murray😬:nonono:

The "racist" stuff was all fun and games but this is taking it way too far.

I’ll disagree. I didn’t want him either way. He’s immature. He has durability issues. And he has some of the same flaws he’s had since entering the league. Add on signing him in free agency he’s likely getting over what the cardinals gave him. No thanks 

How are teams fitting these $40+mil QB contracts into their caps? What % of total cap space is that?

And a receiver at $20+mil?

This is why we should lock up Hurts now.  Especially before his rise this coming season.  

Reading the blog scouting report, we really should lock up Carson strong before he blows up…. Lol. 

Murray is not a top 10 QB, never won a division title, hasnt won a playoff game and has a losing record for his career. Not to mention the durability concerns and the fact that his height limits their passing offense. Cardinals got bent over but it's not like they had much of a choice. He's a good player but that contract pretty much guarantee's they wont win a Super Bowl in the next 5 years.

What a terrible idea

Wild contact to give after how immature he acted in that playoff loss refusing to go back in. 

Hurts should get a bigger contract because of his team first attitude and leadership

This has nothing to do with Hurts.  Not a wise move for any organization to give this kind of money to a guy with maturity issues.  Throwing a fit about going back into a playoff game that you're losing should have been red flag enough for them to look to move on from him instead of committing to him to this extent. 

Where are you all getting this idea that we would have gone after Murray?

Lol. Can’t wait to see lamar top this deal in a couple of weeks/months 

 Not sure what he’s doing being his own agent, but he’s gonna have to be healthy this season if he wants top money. 

Kyler Murray has more lift on his contract than he does on his feet 

Another hated team with a great helmet udpate

At least he didn’t miss a game because he had to go potty

So this is what H.D.S. looks like - I think we've found patient zero :roll:

Not a fan of the Ravens so I hope he robs them

Tbh I’d surprised if he doesn’t get a better contract than murray unless he just has a catastrophic injury this year. Murray has had his own durability issues, hasn’t won a playoff game or mvp. 

Had to come back and edit this....my math was terrible.  I thought Murray only had a full season on Hurts but he has 25 more games under his belt.

Pretty crazy to think that in just 16 more games than Hurts, Kyler Murray has nearly 7,300 yards passing and 48 more passing TD's.

I'm going to say Jalen is the imposter with the gap between them

So if the QB is a runner, gets hurt, why is it the coaches fault? 

I like Kingsbury. Not love, but like. but wouldnt blame his QB falling apart the last 6 games every year his fault. 

Because dating back to his time at Texas tech he’s had consistently the same issue. I know hard time believe every team in his coaching career has seen this trend and think it might just be kingsbury’s issue as well.

is that enough of a track record or do you just ignore he had the same issue in college as well? Murray had his issues. He’s up there as part of their problem. But so does kingsbury. And he had mahomes in college for some of that.
