People would be shocked to know what most fans and media say about their teams. Arizona is soft comparatively.

Comparatively to what?

I supported the dude for a while, but Murray is as soft as it gets. He gets paid MVP level salary to curl into the fetal position and throw check down routes.

The instant he has even remote competition for his job, he flat out gives up and declares himself out for the year with a foot boo boo because the ball hit him in the face.

He is going to fail in Minnesota. He might start hot, but the instant adversity hits in anyway whatsoever, he is going to turtle up.

Eh he might not. The Cardinals have an extreme level of incompetence at all levels of their organization.

Kevin O'Connell is an extremely good coach. I wouldn't bet against him figuring out how to really use Murray, unlike the Cardinals who often didn't use his skill set the best way.

Nope. He can't stay out of his own way. His best ability is his legs, he also is averse to designed runs. When he does use his legs he's often running backwards.

Despite the gutless nature of his play style he still seems to get rendered physically ineffective as the year goes by or he just straight up goes out for the season.

We're a trash organization. No doubt. Hiring KK, drafting Kyler #1, and the money and leash the franchise gave him, despite the many red flags, is part of the disease.

I think that’s clearly a Kyler preference not Kliff. We always promise to use more motion but then pare it away.
I don’t know, seemed like a Kliff thing as well.

Funniest thing ever if Kyler played like the 2021 version of himself, but for the whole season & even won a playoff game.

Do I expect that to happen? Nah.

But would it be funny if it happened? Yes.

Kliff does like to get set and go playing with pace and tempo. Where I also equate it to a Kyler preference is how little it was done with Petzing and Gannon as well. It seemed like there was talk about using it more, but as K9 said, then seemed to be used less and less.

Tune in to a Denver sports radio station any time during the season and you will hear what real football media sounds like.

And Denver isn't even as ruthless as east coast football media but they are x10 more aggressive than what is here in the Valley.
Denver? Wow. Had no idea they were gully like that.

Did Kyler Murray throw 3 Vikings practice interceptions in 7 attempts?

A video from Minnesota Vikings rookie minicamp has gone viral for all the wrong reasons... literally.

A practice video of new Vikings linebacker Jake Golday intercepting a pass over the weekend has been shared by a troll account, "Football Crave," with a caption that is much, much more ominous than what happened in reality.

"Kyler Murray throws his third interception in just seven pass attempts," the post reads. "Head Coach Kevin O’Connell appears visibly frustrated."

Okay, that's not real. That's just a joke post meant to rile up Vikings fans over a false situation. The quarterback in the video is not Murray. Murray is not practicing at all in this video; it's just Minnesota's rookie minicamp.

Murray hasn't shown anything meaningful for the Vikings on a practice field either way to get a reaction from O'Connell. None of this is real; this is really just a clip from a rookie minicamp session not involving Murray or O'Connell.

Let's see what a Minnesota Vikings HOF'er thinks of Kyler Murray.

Warren Moon Sounds Torn on Kyler Murray

Moon spoke to Kay Adams this week and didn’t hold back, saying about Murray, “He never looks like he’s motivated. Maybe he is inside, but he just doesn’t give you that demeanor. He doesn’t give you that demeanor. I hope he’s learned over the last couple of years, with all the criticism that he’s taken, with the injuries that he’s gone through. I have to give more of myself to my football team.”

“I have to show people more about what I’m feeling and thinking. You have to do that as a quarterback in order to get people to follow you. Murray is so dynamic. He makes so many plays that you go, ‘Wow.’ And then, all of a sudden, he goes through phases where he doesn’t even look like the same guy.”

Moon seems to be buying into a widespread, consistent Murray-themed talker: the guy loves video games too much and doesn’t prioritize football. That narrative has persisted for years, prompting an outside audience to wonder whether Murray cares about his craft as much as his quarterback peers.

The Cardinals even baked a “study clause” into his contract extension four years ago, which drew ire and awe because of its unprecedented nature. After backlash, the Cardinals removed the clause.

So, in conjunction with Moon’s comments, Murray must prove the naysayers wrong. The perception is that football may be a side perk for him; he has to dispel that.
