Am I? Seem like a lot of going over the same old ground and talk about how much we suck. Some of it is warranted, a lot of it is made up.
Brit , you can slice, dice and disect this all you want. You can pick a few nuggets out of the steaming pile of crap.
Bottom line we are a minor league NFL team. We think, act and operate like a popcorn stand. We make terrible decisions time after time which cost Mikey money which constricts future decisions.
Wilks, Kingsbury AND Keim, Gannon and now ANOTHER coaching staff costing Mikey money.
Murray. A contract that has strapped Mikey’s operation and will for another year or two.

I’m out of blood. Going forward,I will question and doubt Everything they do. Hell at this point the way this coaching search has gone I question firing Gannon.

Don’t be shocked if Rivera is our next head coach. We will hear experience. He’s been to a Super Bowl and playoffs with the Panthers and the perfect guy to turn us into consistent winners. It’s the guy we really wanted which there are some here that WILL believe that.
It’s a hard pill to swallow but I’m not falling for what’s about to hit us in the next 72 hours.

I'm intrigued by what happens here.

There must have been a LOT of talk about Kyler in the interview process and Mike must have got the lowdown from Monti and Bidwill. But did they sugar coat it to tempt the hire or tell it straight?

If Kyler's flaws were laid bare, not just on field, I would expect Mike to know them, but off field regarding study habits and leadership (which are clearly issues) it's hard to see how Mike can roll with him. If he's been told that it's all fixable and they want Mike to fix it, well, we will see.

I think Kyler is unfixable so I'd rather not waste a year trying and just rip the bandaid off now.

If you look at the McVay/Shanahan tree, it doesn't really highlight players similar to Kyler.

Jordon Love
Brock Purdy
Kirk Cousins
Matt Stafford
Jared Goff
Trevor Lawrence
Sam Darnold

None of these players have much in common with Kyler Murray.

Agree, and his one experience with a similar player (mobile, flash plays, inconsistent) was at the Jets.

My bet is that Monti and Bidwill, M. queried as to whether a coach would want to work with Kyler or not and, when the candidate said no, were fine with that.
