Mental weakness.
Kyler will forever be known as the perpetual potential guy. We have seen it on these forums....well next year....well next year....well next year. We were 7 years into "next year". I even fell into that trap for multiple seasons. He may prove everyone wrong but it was never going to be on this team and I honestly don't think he will on whatever team he ends up at either.

Kylers only chance of success is to have a system built 100% around him. The problem with that is that it does not maximize other players, tends to lead to injury.

Because he's really happy the ball is going to its home. You can see a hint of sadness in his features, though, because he's happy and proud, but sad to see it go.
Yeah, I sense the loss...like maybe he thinks he's the balls daddy...and watching his sweat baby pigskin being delivered by a pro he is sorta protesting..." I,... I wanted to be the one to give you this!...." ... saddened yet he remains joyful.

true but he's better than Jones.
Kinda disagree...
I mean, assuming...if by "better" you mean more talented...rather than just "has produced more"

Imo Mac Jones is much more talented than Brock Purdy...and has a bit more tools to work with.

Imo Purdy was absolutely brilliant when he came into the league...all pro athletes have ego...especially quarterbacks....but Brock Purdy left his at his draft party. Dude showed up in Frisco like a fresh block of clay just ready to be molded with zero resistance...
For a guy to totally disregard all that he knew and just be open to doing exactly as he is told is difficult for any man but for a QB its an amazing accomplishment.

The result is a developed set of skills that maximize his talent to the fullest.

If they could do exactly the same with Mac Jones then Purdy will get traded...but i don't think they can... Jones won't be able to fully check his ego like Purdy did

Purdy signed a 265 million extension in May, there is no question he's their starter if he's healthy. Jones has done well, his season is actually better than purdy but again Purdy has basically been hurt the whole year he hurt his toe in the first game of the season, aggravated it a few weeks later and has been out since.

They both stink if McCaffrey is out or banged up.

Remember if he was immediately was placed on IR he would have to be reinstated after 4 weeks. That would have been after next week, which means he wouldn’t be ready and forced to miss the rest of the season.
That's not how it works - four weeks is the minimum, not the maximum. He could be re-instated any time after four weeks.

The cards are a total garbage organization

Unreal that this is where we are
If it's the Orgs fault why is Jacoby playing much better?
As predicted, this is what we'll be dealing with for years from the Murray-stans - it's all they have left. "Murray really WAS great, and he WOULD have shown it on the field, but it was the Cardinals' fault that he was held back from his potential."

Even if the Cardinals ARE a lousy organization, after failing with two regimes that each tried to build a system to get the most out of him, Murray has no one to blame for his failure but himself.

Personally, I've always wanted Kyler to succeed because I was told he's too small. He and I are the same size and I heard much of the same thing growing up. I knew his window would be short, similar to other smaller players who can't take the hits constantly in an NFL season. I probably hung on to that blind hope too long. Kyler will get another shot and Ill be rooting for him to succeed. I doubt we'll see him in a Cardinals uniform again and I'm ready for the next chapter.

My only remaining hope is all of the character assassination around his foot stop. Way too many people making up stories to justify their hatred for him. The Cardinals could easily clear this up and tell us his exact Injury, but they won't. Instead, some want to guess that IR is benching without benching him. Let me ask you this, who would DP and JG want as their back up, Jeff Driskel or Kyler Murray? If they are serious about winning games, Kyler is your back up if hes healthy.

I respect the hustle but you told this same story about Elijah Jones being actually injured and he’s still never appeared in an NFL game.

Would you believe that Kyler doesn’t want to back up Jacoby Brissett and would rather not play? Because I do.
