I won’t agree with the pick but will pray it works out.
I think the reaction might...

Kliff Kingsbury = huge risk
Maybe that's why we should hope for it.. haha
A little harsh. It obviously works both ways of course.. imo“Not Wild about the pick but hope it works out”. If Bidwill and Kliff want to risk their entire reputations on a kid, who am I to judge? They will be seen as historic buffoons if it doesn’t work out. Bidwill will no longer be respected in the valley and Kliff will be mocked for decades as a historic idiot
Let's not act there isn't a certain amount of luck involved in football as well.. ie Mr 6th round himself. Tom Brady. You can argue the Patriots are never even mentioned as the organization they are today without him...but that's my opinion. I know others think BB would have still made them a winning franchise over the years.This franchise hasn't missed on championships because we "haven't taken risks." We've taken stupid risks. We've made stupid choices. Especially in the modern era. Plus, we were 2:37 away from winning a Super Bowl just 10 years ago, and went 13-3 just four years ago. The times we ended up with these teams are not because we made some hail mary stupid risk, but because of patience, smart roster building, and a little bit of luck.
Please feel free to show me Super Bowl winners in the past 20 years who got there because of one "shut your eyes and hope it works" risk. Maybe the Patriots in 2001, starting Tom Brady over Bledsoe in that Super Bowl, but it's not like they'd traded up to grab Brady or something.
Remember when we "took a risk" and traded a second and a Pro Bowl CB for Kevin Kolb? Sure worked out.
Remember when we took a risk on a QB in 2008 who supposedly couldn’t play instead going with the other QB? That worked out pretty well...and yes it got us to a SB.This franchise hasn't missed on championships because we "haven't taken risks." We've taken stupid risks. We've made stupid choices.

Hmm, in our situation I couldn’t disagree more. A coach forms a team to match his needs. And after going one year and firing a coach we won’t do that again even if KK is an unmitigated disaster. A bad coaching hire for multiple years can be miles more damaging than drafting a QB. And this is (a) a college coach; and (b) a college coach who just got fired with a losing record. People may differ on Murray being the #1 pick but I have yet to see a serious respected pundit say he’s not at least a first rounder. Fired college coach with losing season verses drafting a near consensus first round QB - I know which I think is the bigger risk . . .Different type of risk and one you can clean up after a year or two. Trading away a QB who has potential for one who has more, but has more bust potential can set your franchise back a lot more is he ends up being Ryan Leaf instead of Peyton Manning.
I'm right there with you on this argument. But the reality is, the "risk" that we took was about as low as it could be. Not only had Whisenhunt not been the coach to choose Leinart, he gave him a chance, and worked Kurt in on 2 minute drills. Leinart's injury opened a door, and a one-handed Kurt played masterfully... but there was no choice.Remember when we took a risk on a QB in 2008 who supposedly couldn’t play instead going with the other QB?

Bottom line is there’s a risk in almost EVERY big decision that involves an NFL team regarding personal. You have to hope like hell you’ve done your homework & the decision makers are doing it for the right reasons, which is winning & makes your organization better!
Point is without Boldin Fitz and Breaston should be taken in consideration Of Course Murray can do everything from catching his own Passes to Jumping over and under the defense score 39 touchdowns running and 100 touchdowns passing give Me a freaking Break the only thing is guaranteed is He will be a rookie with a Rookie head coach so it will be a long hard road and next year, People on here will be yelling for the next Great QBI'm right there with you on this argument.

It was a mitigated risk - Kurt was a shockingly lucky choice.
BUT - without Boldin, Larry, even Breaston, that team wouldn't have made it. And it was very barely risky.
68% of the votes are “not wild about the pick” “don’t like it” or are “mad as ...” Be careful Michael and Kliff
I would take Murray in the 3rd but prefer him in the 7th round you just cant debate the size and height limitations At All
