That second one looked less batted and more throwing it in to the defenders helmet.

Yeah but this offense makes the OL better and allows KM to roll out and not have to worry about the DL.....lol

It was a damn problem for first 100 years of the NFL - old school have rhymes and reasons - I’m still hoping against hope, because as a cards fan - what choice do I have

Could've had a TD & kept a drive alive had he made an accurate throw on each. The one to Larry was behind him a little & the one to KJ that was more to the inside rather than outside/back shoulder. Hopefully there are some adjustments made in the 2nd half? If nothing else fake the handoff & rollout & make some deep throws, take a chance. That will stop the batted balls. He didn't have that problem in college but so far it looks rather concerning in the NFL.

DJ use to be more aggressive and less cute at the goal line - should have plowed into that one defender instead of angling for the pylon, pretty boy football is not needed on that play

Doesn’t look like Russel Wilson? Quicker - but seems closer to the line - or something

Wilson is the same height, I am not worried about it.

I wish. Wilson is taller. Kyler Murray is very short and we will see more batted balls. But other than that, I really don’t have any concerns about Murray

I think we just need to teach the Oline to move defenders and create lanes, also practice more as if there is a mobile qb.

I like Murray, dude has heart and wants to win and hates to lose. I like that!

4th quarter was epic

i think defensive strategy was a part of it

it seemed that the Lions had guys not really rushing but standing in throwing lanes

on two of them, im not sure a 6-4 QB would have put it over him

If he was a 6'4" that wouldn't have been their defensive game plan.

His mechanics are *****. He constantly throws off his toes / front foot.

It doesn't negate the height concern but he needs some coaching / experience more than he needs 3 inches of height
