Edmonds is real good on how he plays, answers and being used.

From a strategy perspective, When the Cardinals absolutely needed to get run game going (like the possession at the end of game to grind out a first down or two) can any RB on this roster be trusted? It cannot be Murray all the time.

I just can’t after 2 horrible INTs and and clearly dogging instead of going for that first down. Especially at a crucial point of tha game.
Yeah he is a weirdly polarizing game. No way we win without him. But that’s really a baseline rule fir this team now. But he also had tremendous brain farts today.

Kyler. I doubt we're 2-0 without him. We're Steve Wilkes type bad without him probably. And the last 2 years we could be with Josh Rosen. So I don't want to hear any criticism of our franchise QB. :thumbup:

400 yards, 80% completions, 2 bad mistakes, but 4 combined TD's. Franchise baby!

Our defensive allowed a td on 3 of 4 drives to start game & offense still outscored vikings to end half. K1 had mistakes but that was a qb determined to give his team a chance. We never be in position to win without him. As somebody on Twitter said today "not perfect but he is amazing "

You can still love the guy but criticize his bonehead plays. Everything isn't all lollipops and roses. But, a win is a win and Kyler was a main reason they stayed in the game and eked out a win.

With his third touchdown pass Sunday, Kyler Murray became the first player in NFL history with three-plus passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown in each of his team's first two games of the season.

He is 2nd in the NFL in passing yards
4th in yards per attempt
73.5% completion percentage (6th)
tied for 1st in total TDs

They discussed the first INT at length in the post game. LBer just made a great play on the ball. Nothing wrong with Kyler's throw. They actually thought it was more on Kliff running the same sets over and over so the LB knew where the ball was going.

2nd INT was definitely on Murray and he owned it post game. He felt the pressure to counter punch at all times.

The perfect description of Kyler is the TD pass to Hopkins. Kyler is protected but does a 360 in the pocket and then delivers the ball to Hopkins which was there the whole time. That wasn't a "special" play as much as it was a play he can get away with because he is so quick.

The play that was impressive was the TD to Moore. Beating the DE to the edge and then throwing the ball across your body that far and accurately is special.

On this play Hopkins just left and separated from PP, or PP just gave up on covering Hop and was caught looking into the backfield.

That’s all great and impressive. But made some epically bad decisions and dogged it when it mattered. Doesn’t warrant a game ball at all.

He dogged it when it mattered most, like a 40 yard completion on 4th and 5 down 2 against an all out blitz.
