Kingsbury: Murray 'probably' won't be back to open next season

A day after Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray had surgery to repair his torn right ACL, coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday the quarterback "probably" won't be back for the start of the 2023 season.

Looks like our chances of having Kyler back early aren't great. That's alarming for our coaching/GM search, alongside most hopes for next year. Does this make upgrading from Colt McCoy a priority in your opinions?

Maybe? I mean you can't go out and get another starting QB for the 5 or 6 games that he will likely miss. The situation is similar to Hopkins being suspended and using a 1st rounder on Hollywood.

 

[Metcalf Rules]

I'm holding out hope that since Kliff doesn't know what's going on half the time, it means Kyler starts the season.

 

[football karma]

i dont feel like this is news

i think the last 8 or 9 games of 2023 are a realistic possibility

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

Best case scenario Kyler attacks his rehab like his video games. He's then ready to start game 2 & Kliffy is canned on black Monday lol.

Well, guys like Jacoby Brissett were effective in steering the ship this year. Same with say, Mike White, depending on if he goes back to the Jets or gets a starting offer. Colt's going to be 37 next year. Can't love the idea of him trying to salvage the start of the season at that age.

Been saying Kyler wouldn’t be back until November and that’s what this organization should plan on. Brissett would be a good pick up imho.

 

[JosiahLee]

Hmm, I thought a few days after the injury it was reported that it was a clean ACL tear which was a good thing concerning the recovery time?

With his age and reputation for hitting the weight room, I feel like a 9-month rehab time is doable for him. I guess time will tell.

If things work from the neck up, and arms and legs are intact, I don't see Colt's age as particularly relevant.

I agree, like him or not, Kyler is a gym rat and could be back sooner than later.

 

[oaken1]

we need us some Uncle Rico.
Dude aint quite starter quality but youll never convince him of that.
Eagles offense isnt working for him... if they dont look to be cutting him, call and offer a 7th.

QBs fall off pretty significantly around this age. Colt didn't really look all that great out there this season. He was never really known for his arm strength, and guys like Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, and even Russel Wilson are starting to look cooked.

 

[sdscard4]

Colt will be destroyed by week 3 in this system. Can't be in shotgun with no protection every down. Let's retire the Air Raid ...got some glimpses had some fun but no longevity in the NFL

We need a 6'6 QB with a big arm like Josh Allen

 

[daves]

With his age and reputation for hitting the weight room, I feel like a 9-month rehab time is doable for him. I guess time will tell.

Problem is, the season starts in 8 months... and even with a flawless recovery, he'd need some time to get into game shape before starting.

Yep. 2023 is a lost year. Best to accept it, get a GM/Coach in here that understands it, and build for 2024.

This is the way.

The other thing is if you're relying on Colt to get you through more than 2 games, you better have a backup you're ready to start because Colt's history is he's going to get hurt

 

[CardsFan88]

Matt Ryan come on down. The Cardinal way. Or Carr.

If the desire is to be competitive, Mike White will be a UFA.

 

[MadCardDisease]

Simple math would tell you he won't be ready to start at the beginning of the season. Even if he is "healthy enough to play" he won't be himself for quite some time.

This is what scares me the most. If anyone, he lives and dies by his plus agility. If he doesn't have it, he's going to get beat up and risk injury.

A large part of me doesn't want to see him until 2024.

Who does "Uncle Rico" refer to? My quick search didn't show me much? Only some picture. So, whatever it refers to went way over my head.

It's from Napoleon Dynamite movie.

He already wasn't that great when he was healthy this year so who knows what he'll be like next season and beyond.
