I am 100% rooting for Murray to kick the Cardinals ass every time he plays them. You know it’s coming.
I too would like to see Kyler absolutely crush a team, but that’s happened what, once in the past 4 years (last year against the Rams)?

**** it im crossing the line today - imma hit this vape pen like 5 times and just get right into it - pulling a 180 on thus fine morning - no - im not saying keep kyler murray - haven't lost my mind - cancel the station wagon and white jackets

why would a gm/coach want kyler murry? what are the pros and cons? we've more than gone over the cons so what are his selling points

A) kyler murray has consistently been a (slightly) above average his entire nfl despite having to play here - that's huge - and that's exactly how we're going to sell it - that the sky is still the limit with kyler murray - it wasn't him it was us - we failed him

might need to hit this vape another 5 or 6 times

B) ummmm... dude is mobile and can buy time... electrifying the crowd - one man human highlight reel - turn nothing into something

C) limits his mistakes - doesn't gamble taking deep shots into coverage - doesn't constantly audible/overrule the oc - this vape pen is starting to get hot now i better stop

Those are pretty good - and yes, the selling points.

I was reading something the other day about men that get married 3/4/5 times - and why women marry someone with that track record.

A couple things stood out - the first is a general observation that applies to many situations: When you are close to a situation, the negatives stick out, and that is what colors your perception - For Murray, the nine good plays are forced out of your thinking by the one bad play, and that is what you remember. When you are on the other side, it is the opposite - the spectacular plays - the scrambles, the Hail Murray, the stuff that makes the highlight reels - that is what you remember.

Second is that people (and women when it comes to men) overestimate their ability to "fix things". They will look at the failure and says "bad system, bad ownership" (or in the case of a man "former wife was a B that didn't appreciate him" etc.



tl;dr: There will be teams/GM's/Coaches that will overlook the negatives and overestimate their ability to fix Murray's mistakes. They will see the talent, and ignore his weaknesses.

I would much rather roll Gannon back and cut Kyler than have it be the reciprocal.

Kyler needs to move on. I think he has a chance to do great things, but it won’t be here. He’s been here 7 years.

Gannon should be allowed to pick his own QB.

Im inclined to extend Gannon. Even though the teams record with Jacoby at the helm has been dog water, it’s been noticeably more effective.

This gd franchise needs a 10-15 yr rebuild of everything. It’s fun to blame players and coaches, look at only the right now, etc., but this organization needs a comprehensive audit.
NO EXTENTIONS!!!

If he kicks our ass playing the brand of football that we've become accustomed to from him, Ill take the loss. I just don't want to watch his style of football anymore. If it's successful elsewhere, well then we confirm what we already know. We are a crap football organization.

To some extent, I understand what @speedy is saying. Gannon is in the last year of his deal. So if he stays and gets a new QB either of these scenarios could occur:

#1. Gannon has a decent season and as a free agent coach, gets a big offer from another team.

#2. Gannon is terrible and is allowed to walk.

In either situation, you are risking the next coach to be stuck with a 2nd year QB.

Kind of a rinse / repeat of the current situation.

He is 2-17 in games with QBs not named Kyler.
Kyler Shanahan is 13-7 without Prudy since he became the starter.
Nearly identical sample size.

Shanahan has a career .551 career winning percentage over all and 13-7 is a .650 winning percent. He won games with Trey Lance , C.J. Beathard and Nick Mullens, but JG managed to go 1-9 with Jacoby! JG needs to go! Heck, only the 49ers can rival our injuries this year and they are still 11-4 and going 5-3 with their backup QB.

Honestly when was the last time this happened? If he starts off well you can always extend him in November; these guys want consistency and the difference between the 8th and 5th highest HC contract isn’t great.

You are correct but I just say I understand his point of view

Very well stated.

The idea of the elusive, squirrely Murray running McDaniel's scheme is tantalizing for those who traffic in football fever dreams. So, too, is the thought of a unit headlined by Murray, ascending star De'Von Achane and receiver Jaylen Waddle, an explosive three-headed monster that could speed past defenses at any time. The big question that hangs over this potential pairing, however: Can Murray conform to McDaniel's requirements in a timing-based passing attack, if McDaniel remains the head coach? Murray's improvisational skills have produced plenty of electric moments over the years, but that’s not the style of play that suits Miami’s current system. He'd have to balance the two if he’s going to maximize such a partnership.

Still, it's better than watching Tagovailoa appear to struggle making decisions for another season. And Murray might be just what the doctor ordered to get the McDaniel era back on track.

People forget that the dream quarterbacks for these Shanahan/McVay disciples are Kirk Cousins and Jimmy Garappolo.

The first time Kyler says he’s not really feeling turning his back on the defense for a play action will be the end of that relationship.

The first time Kyler told shanny he wasn't feeling it this week about running would be his last as his starting QB. IMO
