Kyler to IR With Foot Injury

[Harry]

I sent him a note to avoid joining the team in doing the Hoki Poki at halftime, but he wouldn’t listen.

 

[cardcrazy]

Writings on the wall…
I read it’s a mid foot sprain. The fact that they’re not saying specifically what his injury is, says to me it’s a cover up for benching him in favor of JB and then drafting a QB of their choice next year, trade KM and keep JB until the rookies ready.

 

[Denny Green Fan]

Thanks for the memories! The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Lousy year to be in the market for a QB, especially getting 3rd choice in the draft after the Jets and Cleveland. It may be better to draft a tackle in round one and draft a QB in round 2.

Bingo!!! One fan suggested o line in first ….Baylor quarterback in the second….that or draft sellers and let him sit a year….bet he won’t come out tho

 

[TK421]

Has Murray made it through a single NFL season without missing games due to injury?

He’s done in AZ or should be

lol he played every game last season.

 

[Cheesebeef]

3 of his 7 seasons, including last year. But he does always seem to have an injury

dude is just too small to play the position.

sucks... halfway thru his 2nd season, I thought we really had a shot at an honest to God, superstar unicorn athlete. Backed off that a bit after the first second half collapse, but figured it was only his second year and the glimpses the first half of the season were so tantalizing that I was still pretty excited about the possibilities to come. Then, halfway thru his 3rd season, I thought we might actually, finally have a legit MVP QB... and then the GB game happened.

How EVERYTHING just totally went to crap after that game is beyond bizarre.

I will 100% agree with all of this. The play of Kyler post the AJ Green/Kyler Murray miscommunications is insanely bizarre. Last year, he at times, looked like he might get or back, but the magic is gone.

One wrong turn...

Take your time and heal up, K1.

No rush getting healthy, please.

Yeah I would have to agree. There is no way 5'10" Kyler can step up in the pocket like a 6'4" Brissett can. Kyler needs to move outside the pocket to see downfield.

I said it 2 weeks ago that he should be on IR for for foot and they should let it heal for the rest of the season. Foot injuries are tricky. I'm with you, but maybe got different reasons.

Which only about half the board said when he was drafted that he was too short and it would never work long-term……

Why is 55 smiling and waving goodbye to the ball?

 

[imaCafan]

9-2 IN 2021, ended up 11-6 and then an embarrassing loss in the first round of playoffs. Down hill ever since....

 

[Cardsmasochist]

lol he played every game last season.

I’m not following the Cardinals like I used to. I’m surprised Kyler played 3 complete seasons in his pro career

I checked out the day Bidwill extended Keim, Kingsbury and Murray’s contracts

Here’s hoping they find a QB that can help this franchise succeed

 

[JohnnyCakes]

I dont see a reason why there isnt hope that Brissett can play the qb position well now and next season. Draft him a right tackle and draft a running back. Defense looks good to me now. Time will tell......such is the life of an AZ Cards fan

This! I will not bad mouth K1 from here on out. If this is truly it, I've been a fan of his from day 1. I've had my complaints and gnashing of teeth over his play, (and attitude at times) but he's given us memorable play in doses and gave his all. This franchise and us fans subsequently aren't in a position to just dismiss what he gave us. He's still among the better Cards QB's we've had, so that alone make me root for him in the future. That being said, I'm ready to sign the divorce papers.

Did he really give us his all though? I hate to say it, but I do feel that it’s questionable.

Like the playoff debacle where he refused to go back into the game with very little time left on the clock? Made Colt go in for that time. SMH. He had to sit and pout.

 

[Metcalf Rules]

I've always rooted for Kyler, but even this 50 plus year Cardinal fan knows it's time. I wish him well. I've always thought Kyler and Mike Tomlin would make a good fit. But maybe the Saints too with Kellen Moore's QB roots.

 

[slanidrac16]

The Cardinals f'd this to so bad. Should had been in IR 3 weeks ago. If his injury lingers now and hurts his trade value, the Cardinals need to blame themselves for they handled this.

How does this hurt his trade value? He can’t be traded until the beginning of 2026. If he isn’t healed by then then something is wrong. Kyler wasn’t going to increase his trade value value this year. Everyone on the planet knows him, his strengths and his weaknesses.

They are one of the dumber franchises for a reason

1. I think the injury is legit. As an example, Brock Purdy hurt his toe in a game he completed. Didnt show up as an injury until the next week and hasnt really played since.
2. Its quite possible / likely that Kyler's foot just hasnt improved. Sure he can walk around, but cant do any dynamic movements. If thats the case, you cant put him out there.
3. In the meantime -- JB has played great.
4. Putting Kyler on IR now just gives the coaching staff breathing room for 4 games. No week to week questions. The rest of the team and JB know its his job for that time.
5. If JB plays well -- Kyler quietly gets to stay on IR out of the spotlight.
6. IF JB regresses back or is just flat out bad: Kyler gets his last chance (and this time, the team really means it).


Its the best decision right now.
