BM and Murray are very different players. Mayfield is a pocket passers who scrambles a bit to set up the pass. Murray was used quite a bit on designed runs.
My question is incredibly valid. Shorter QBs have to move around to see passing lanes. It's the reason that the NFL doesn't like short QBs. When you watch Murray, you see a guy who had a very clean pocket that he won't see any where in the NFL.
And with the Cardinals it's a pretty simple argument that he will rarely see clean pockets, often facing pressure immediately. And with all of the pressure, he will take lots of hits. How long will his 190 frame take those hits? It was nearly unanimous across the football world that there is no way in hell that Murray is 207 naturally and that's why he didn't work out.
There are too many unknowns to take Murray #1. Take the damn franchise defender. You already have a potential franchise QB. This is freaking madness.
According to PFF, Bosa had the highest edge grade they have ever assigned to an edge player. He destroys the blocker across from in the run game and the pass game. He gives the Cardinals the chance to have a top 5 defense for years to come almost immediately.
I believe that the Cardinals are going to be vastly improved this year. Rosen is going to be used correctly by a good offensive mind and Nick Bosa is going to be in contention for rookie of the year.
You could be right. But it could also turn out that Rosen sucks and last year wasn’t just the bad team around him and Bosa could be a flash in the pan. Truth is he only played a little over two years, never had double digit sacks in a year, was played sparingly because of the other talent in the team, a lot of the Bosa hype is projection,
and we likely move him to outside linebacker. It’s very possible we end up with a bust QB and a less-than-impressive OLB.
Ultimately it comes down to these items for me:
We’ve already gone the unorthodox route with the KK hiring. If we are going to do this, go all-in in it. If he wants kyler, do it.
Man it would be nice to have a QB whose mere physical abilities places an additional element of pressure on a defense. It allows for more creative gameplanning and also provides a built-in mechanism for broken play emergency solutions.
All this and I’m not saying I’m all in on kyler. Unlike crimson and dr. Jones I’m not 100% convinced about kyler. But neither am I near convinced he’s not going to be the next football Jesus. But I can’t stand some of the arguments that are being used. His size is a legit concern. Baseball is a slightly secondary concern for me. But the other arguments are all stupid imo.
