Again I get that, but the dude called Yiadom locked up MHJ man to man multiple times, I don't get the impression that he had guys wide open all game yesterday and missed them.

I think we took what was there, the 49ers in the first half took away Conner but in the 2nd half we did things a little differently.

The one issue on the last drive was the miss to Wilson, that open you gotta give the guy a chance to make a play.

Maybe it's because I live here so I know a ton of 49er fans but I don't think you quite grasp how big that game was for the 49ers. It wasn't one of those they didn't take us seriously and got beat games, they looked at this as a huge game for them and to lose was a big deal. I think the team, and Kyler, deserve lots of praise for that.

Disagree. Quarterbacks make guys like MHJ open against CB's like Yiadom.

When your #1 WR is 1 on 1 vs a 3rd string cornerback you feed him the ball. You make him your 1st read 60% of the time.

The only difference between MHJ and Nabers or Thomas is that they have QB's that are doing that.

Kyler's 2nd half passing stats in a game we were down 13 and down the whole half.

11/15, 64 yds, 4.3 ypa, TD

I'll let you decide if this is positive.

we will get the "all of Kylers throws vs the 49ers" all 22 before too long and can decide for ourselves

i think the #1 goal for Petzing / Kyler is figuring out the passing game when teams go into two-high shell coverage

Brady made a point of it during the broadcast -- 2nd half the 49ers played shell to keep things underneath

i also believe that teams arent threatened by the idea of Wilson or MHJ running by them deep -- which can also make 2 high suffocating

Are we going to do Kyler is great again now?

It was an average game TBH outside his TD run and the 4th and 5 "MHJ down there somewhere" throw.

As a passer it was a below average game.
That throw to MHJ was a desperate jump ball. Period. Glad it worked but if that ball hit the ground we would have lost and we wouldn’t be talking about Kyler’s 50 yard run.
I’m happy. I’m just not ready to put him back on a pedestal.

Blah blah blah.

280 yards from scrimmage and two TDs yesterday against a salty defense.

Top 10 QB in league by almost any metric you want to choose.

Yeah… unless, for some weird reason, passing yards per game are used to measure QB success.

But K1 can’t captain the team to a comeback.

It just continues to get worse for the QB experts on the board. Maybe we can bring back Dobbs next season as a stop gap while we look for a new QB.
I noticed quite a long while ago that from the day that the Cardinals drafted Kyler Murray. The Rosen-lovers have hated this kid for replacing ( Their hero ) who they thought was going to lead the Cardinals to the promise land. Some have come around and realized that though K1 isn't Brady or Montana, that the Kid is a very decent quarterback. If legendary quarterbacks were so easy to get ( As some seem to believe ), then every team would have one. Some on the board are just gonna hate Murray, No Matter what, and that's just the way it goes.

Lol… Rosen was no one’s hero, especially after his rookie season that was a disaster of biblical proportions. And that’s coming from the moron who dubbed him The Rosen One and was delirious on draft night over the fact that we drafted a Jewish QB! (Airplane! shoulda disavowed us of that notion right quick!)

100%

Now if you want to say Murray didn't fit in with a lot of people's conceptions of what they considered the physical, and personality, parameters of a proper NFL QB then that is the actual truth.

I definitely respect and appreciate your post. I think the point I was trying to make was that for some Cardinal fans, Kyler Murray should have never been given the opportunity to be a Cardinal. Alot on the board had a very negative opinion of Murray because the impression was that Josh Rosen should have been given at least one more year. Because first impressions are very important, for some ( Not All ) that do post on this forum, that bad feeling of Kyler Murray being drafted has been a bitter pill to swallow and since they have hated the kid since day one, it's easier to blame the kid for Everything No matter what, than it is for them to give the kid a fair shot and be willing to admitt that maybe, just maybe they were wrong and the kid is not a horrible quarterback and is actually pretty decent.
