Hundley looked way better in preseason. You can argue it was against lesser competition but he still looked like the better QB.
Maybe because he's a veteran who has NFL starting experience??

The problem here is scheme. Obviously the O Line is undermanned but they haven't built the gameplan around it at all.
Our play design is crap. The Lions are getting guys wide open by disguising their routes, springing guys from the backfield, flooding and crossing zones. Someone is always open because our defense is confused. Our receivers however are running straight routes, one on one, and are entirely covered from the snap. Murray has no where to throw. The offensive concepts are looking like college vs pro.

Your QB has to execute for any scheme to work...Murray isn't executing.

Yes, so much this!

It was a horrble mistake not running and perfecting the Air Raid during the pre-season.

Casserly was right about Rosen’s trade value. Maybe he was right about Murray being dumb as $&@@

The amazing thing is that we only trail by 2 TDs with zero offensive production. One big play gets us back in it, not saying that looks likely though

Plenty of advice coming Kyler's way on the bench, all trying to help I'm sure but adding to the thousand thoughts that are probably swirling around.

Hopefully can hit a pass or two and breathe again.

All the more reason to keep them with your correct… Trading one stink for another does you no good. Could have Bosa on the defense or another stud instead and Rosen.

Rosen had the entire season to show he stinks, and also an off-season to lose the job to Fitzpatrick (though they should just pla him the rest of the year to see what they have in him). Its not logical to say Murray is a bust after his first game, plenty of rookie QB's have looked bad their first start and then turned out to be good QB's. But yeah, probably the worst career start you could ask for as a Cardinals fan. Also, Bosa's durability scares the crap out of me.
