People don’t realize being a smaller QB helps you more than it hurts you when you’re on the run. QBs like Cam, Watson, Wentz, & Mariota are bigger than most DBs & even a few ILB which will give them the mentality to at least run through them & fight for those extra yards which brings more hits. Russell realizes he’s smaller than a majority of the players on the other side & will not do that. Kyler will do the same.Throwing in that sCam Newton comment seems to undermine his own point that Murray is too small. If gigantic sCam still gets hurt by getting hit by a smaller guy, isn't he then saying that being huge didn't help him? And following that logic, I'd counter that being smaller and much more agile could have kept Murray from taking that hit in the first place.
The other point he misses is that Murray CAN throw. He's not Michael Vick - great runner, cannon for an arm, but unable to hit the broad side of a barn. Murray can make all the throws, AND run like Vick - and maybe even better than him.
I'm still skeptical that Murray turns into a superstar worthy of the top pick in the draft, but I like that the Cards rolled the dice on him because the upside could be huge. Very anxious to see him play at this level.
Just the usual Murray fan club slobberfest.
He's the QB of your team. Get over it already. I wanted to keep Rosen as well but that didn't happen. We have Murray & I'm going to root like hell for him to succeed.

Last night the local talk show radio guys we're saying how Murray left 500 rushing yards on the field last year, and that he could have easily eclipsed the 1,500 yard rushing mark. He would break containment, but still throw, even with open field in front of him.
Murray is pass-first all the way Colin. Big time.
And, and, he protects himself when he does run. Lots of sliding, no fighting for extra yards, unless absolutely necessary.
Maybe Haskins will be better than Murray. Who knows at this point. Haskins has a good arm, and good vision, although he'll be a sitting duck behind that suspect Giant's offensive line.
But to me Haskins = Very good prospect, while Murray = once-in-a-generation, maybe even a once-in-a-lifetime prospect.
Easy decision.
I agree with your post. Pretty sure Haskins is a Redskin though. Lol.
You, Cowherd, Redskins, & Ohio State fans?No need to get all up in arms. A lot of people think Haskins will be better.
They’ll decide it on the field.
