Official Kyler Murray career thread.... (post Cardinals/Vikes)

[BullheadCardFan]

I don't think Kyler is going to alter their trajectory, but if the Vikings are the Jazz we're the Sacramento Kings.

I think we are more like the Washington Generals

I wish Kyler well but he no longer plays here.

This ain't it homie. You're hanging on by a thread.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

lemme ask you this... do you think you've enjoyed sundays watching football just as much as Vikings fans for the last 38 years, even though their wins and playoff appearances dwarf ours during that stretch?

If you say you do, that would make you one of the biggest losers as a fan i can ever imagine because it basically means you don't care if your team wins or not. Most seasons, Vikings fans get to watch their team win and get to the playoffs. Most seasons, we're a laughingstock. If you don't see the tonnage of diference between those two, you're blind as a bat.

Oh, I see the difference, but in the end, they've won nothing more than we have and have had their hopes dashed much more often. If and when we finally assemble a team and win something, it's going to be far more rewarding for the few diehard Cardinals' fans that trudged through entire seasons of home game suckage.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

would you rather be a Jazz fan (while they were still contenders) or a perpetual Washington Wizards fan? Because that's the equivalent of what the Cardinals are in the NFL.

Very thankful I'm a Lakers' fan. I don't think I could handle being a fan of a never-won-anything-basketball team also.

when i think of the vikings i think of crazy insane ways to lose in the playoffs - devastating missed field goals

but i don't even care because i'm a cards fan

vikings might get murray the magnificent in the beginning but they'll soon be very familiar with the kyler crash soon as things don't go his way

mccarthy eventually takes his spot - murray gets mcroasted on twitter - that's the end of murray in minnesota

I still think he'll have success in the Canadian Football League at some point. Just like Doug Flutie, another short former NFL QB who had won the Heisman in college and won Comeback Player of the Year in the NFL. He won 3 Grey Cups, but never a Super Bowl.

I am about as low on Kyler as anyone, but this is embarrassing for JJ. You gotta have a little more nuance than that dude.

If that is his mental approach, for real, then he better rip that job away from Kyler. Otherwise, it comes off as pouting and sour grapes, which I suspect it is.

Also, Kyler answered the same question, in a typical Kyler way...

"I'm considered a veteran even though I don't see myself as that"... he's kinda half aware that he has zero leadership qualities, but at least he still halfway gets to the canned answer a vet should give.

I feel like most guys, that have ambition in the league... any real competitive nature, would view themselves as a "vet" after ONE year of being a starter, forget 7 going on 8.

Exactly. You have no grounds to stand on my guy, and this is your response?

I picked up the Spurs when I moved to Texas (lots of family in San Antonio). I actually went to game 2 of the finals Vs the Knicks as a kid. (One of the few NBA games I've been to)

My good buddy is a Lakers fan as well. We've been eating good these last couple decades (and Lakers forever, booo).

Too bad I'm not quite a "fan" fan of anything but the Cardinals, unfortunate it is for my soul.

Spurs tanked for Wemby and now they are in the finals. You just gotta get lucky at the right time (still gotta have competent GM). Although, I miss Duncan and co.

Why can’t I put BIM on ignore? It’s not an option for some reason.

It's akshually better to be perpetually terrible!

No, it's not, but it is what it is. We have had better years since we moved to the toaster, but overall, it is still difficult and disappointing to walk out of each home game after a tough beatdown or a heartbreakingly close loss. I'd love for ownership to step back much more and have real football people run the team. Been saying that for years. It doesn't appear that it'll happen anytime soon. I think that if and when something happens to Michael, the other siblings might look to sell, but that is likely far off in the future. Even then, some other sibling or next-gen Bidwill might step up to be the next face of the organization. Ugh.

A guy who's made over $150 million moving to the CFL.

For now…

I'm really rethinking that with the Laker fan status.

Agree wholeheartedly

But that again plays into my issue. This team let a good QB down by not building and preparing.

Cedee Lamb
DK Metcalf
Will Anderson
Numerous olinemen
Allen & Murphy

Hiring Novice coaches and GMs that have to learn on the job.

Not a single thread of continuity since K1 was drafted.

Kyler's arm strength not being the same is still a concern imo.

Murray's first throw, which went to undrafted rookie Dillon Bell near the left sideline, was a beauty. He then went through his progressions and connected with Bell again, this time on a somewhat deep ball up the right side. Those two throws said a lot. But it wasn't a perfect day for Kyler. After a short pass, Murray held onto the ball for a bit and tried to eventually push one deep downfield to an open receiver. He didn't get enough on it, which allowed Zemaiah Vaughn to recover for the interception.

The last several years there's been passes that simply dont get there if he isnt in rhythm. That wasnt as much a problem early in his career. Guys like Caleb, Allen, Mahomes, etc get the ball there even if they are late.
