I don't think Tune will ever be on Murray's level, like ever

But I think Tune is already on McCoy's level and might even be better

Agree

Physically, yes, Tune is already better than McCoy. But, that’s not what will give us a chance to win early on this season. Defenses like WA, NY, and even Dallas will fool him far more easily than McCoy. But, if by chance Murray has a setback, then yes, after 5-6 weeks, I would prefer Tune play than McCoy.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

No is the answer to both questions. I am saying Murray will not take us to the Super Bowl. I am saying Tune is in the mold of a prototypical QB the current staff values.

Do you think Kyler will ever be an under center pocket passer?

Maybe he can do this but I remember a study on drew Brees. They actually showed the views downfield he had from his level. Without his incredible timing and knowing where his receiver‘s routes he doesn’t have the career he had.

The other liability with Kyler that bothers me is he does not throw his receivers open. He seems to throw directly at them. I’m not even claiming to be right or wrong here. It really doesn’t matter what I think about Kyler, it’s just my opinion based on my observations.

Okay, I'm not going to say that the above is unreasonable (especially after last year).

I will say this --- In 2021, murray posted a pure QB rating of 100.6. 69.2% completions. 24 TDs to 10 ints. 400+ yards rushing and 5 rushing TDs.

CardNots I think that is generally a sufficient level of play from your QB to allow a team to win a championship. I know there are a whole bunch of other intangible factors that go into the championship equation. Clutch-ness, durability, leadership, etc. But just from a pure production standpoint, K1 was good enough in 2021.

What version of Kyler do we get for 2023 (and beyond)? Who knows? It's possible the Cardinals have broken Murray, and that he'll never recover from last year.

But if he comes back and plays up to his potential (like he did in 2021, and personally I think he will) then I think that we can win a championship with him. But we'll have to put more talent around him than there is now, and we'll need to better on defense too.

David Anenih over Cam Thomas at EDGE

Think Thomas was hurt this week

 

[BritCard]

I had to watch the KC feed as well. Other than Tune they didn’t talk about the Cardinals at all. Trent Green was impressed with Tune and his mobility. They bitched about calls and I honestly believe Cardinals got screwed more than the Chiefs.

I saw a bunch of missed holding calls on the Cards just in the highlights

Simmons is baaaaad

I was at the game and was shocked that they overturned it. Didn’t see any clear evidence when I rewatched it at home to say that it should be overturned.

I rewatched the game today and was impressed with the performance from Jones. I’m confident with him as Humps backup

 

[MadCardDisease]

Think Thomas was hurt this week

Thomas, BJO and Sanders all didn’t play against the Chiefs as they recover from injuries

On the Chiefs first TD there was a badly missed hold.

Jones, Gaines, then I guess Dailey.. that's eight considering the starters.. I wonder if we keep nine o-lineman? Maybe my homebody Hayes makes the roster then?

I will say this. The revenue to the league from merchandise sales is huge. When I walk through our local stores KC gear is front and center. I have never seen this before. I would venture a guess the NFL wants excitement for the top merchandise sellers. Need I say more?

I’m thinking that our OL is now the strength of this team. It’s looking like 2023 will be a season where we will heavily lean on our OL and running game to keep us remotely competitive.

which if it turns out that way is absolutely shocking! But in a good way!

 

[Mainstreet]

The whole package, without accuracy, is an empty box.

I'd like to look in the box first. Two preseason games is not nearly enough.

 

[Mainstreet]

xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media

I don't miss Keim one bit.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Front 7 bad. Collins was terrible.

Simmons was terrible.

Mathew’s was terrible.

Ingram showed some fight.

Tune looks like he’s got the mentality and mental clock and good pocket awareness. But it won’t matter if he can’t get more accurate. Nice two minute drive.

Not a lot else to say of this game.

 

[Mainstreet]

And he had two amazing WRs who bailed him out. Without those two we wouldn’t be talking about Terry

John Stallworth and Lynn Swan were amazing. Still, it took a quarterback to throw them the ball.

Terry Bradshaw had a rocket for an arm.

Until Murray returns. Then the offense will open up.

When Murray returns, the passing game will ramp up.

By playing Hayes at both RG and LG, they must see something they like. And imo, the question is whether he's playing himself on or off the team. He is being given every chance to make the team.
