    Is Kyler Murray the answer at QB for next year and beyond?

    OOF... Murray coming in at #26... even though those stats go back to 2021.

    Heh, someone once said that calling people out, especially for fake opinions, is super toxic. Can't remember who it was because it was so long ago, but it left such a powerful impression, it seems like it was just a couple days ago.

    Go Titans, Bears, Jets and Giants!!

    Oh, so literally ONE person who posted it with a question mark in response to a stat that was posted about this season. Immediately followed by @oaken1 correctly pointing out that separation was never an important part of Hopkins' repertoire, and zero further discussion. Sounds like a good...

    Who do you think you're calling out here? Someone once said that engaging in callout culture on this board about real things, and especially calling out fake opinions, is super-toxic for the culture of the board.

    2024 Draft Countdown/NFL Prospects thread

    The trade was great for the Chiefs, for a guy who was gonna leave in FA or break their cap anyway. The failure was in not getting a single decent WR with all those picks or in FA.

    Bidwill Ranked

    Since 3 Oct 2019. So they have him with a 31-44 record, and having "inherited" Kingsbury as coach. The ranking would've been more interesting had they used a little subjectivity to base it on when Michael unofficially took over as the de-facto owner.

    Bidwill Ranked

    They were ranked ONLY by winning percentage since they officially took over as owners. Actually by that measure Bidwiill would be ranked higher if they started counting when he unofficially took over running the team, as the Cardinals are only a little below .500 since then.

    The 2023-24 league year

    Pretty good explanation here. In the context of 3rd down defense, giving up yardage for a first down allows the offense to continue its drive, resulting in a bigger increase in expected points for the offense.

    The 2023-24 league year

    Maybe not; if the average distance to go on 3rd down is 7.5 yards, and you allow 7 yards, that's good! if average distance to go on 3rd down is 6.5 yards, and you allow 7 yards, that's bad! EPA captures that distinction better than raw yards.

    Is Kyler Murray the answer at QB for next year and beyond?

    Today, another article in the Athletic that ranks NFL QBs by "Quarterback Reliability Index": RANK QUARTERBACK TEAM WINS ABOVE REPLACEMENT 1 Dak Prescott Cowboys 7.9 2 Trevor Lawrence Jaguars 7.7 3 Jalen Hurts Eagles 7.6 4 Jared Goff Lions 7.0 5 Josh Allen Bills 6.8 6 Tua...

    After the Cards' week 13 win, they've swapped places with the Patriots and wind up at the #3 spot in the latest projection from The Athletic, still with a 1.3 game projected jump between the top 3 teams and #4: Additional commentary related to the Cards:

    Is Kyler Murray the answer at QB for next year and beyond?

    IIt was easy to get caught up in the excitement of seeing Murray make "some good plays" this past weekend. But just to put his performance this season, and in his last game, into context.... The Athletic has an article today ranking NFL QBs by EPA per dropback. Numbers 1-10: QB EPA/DB...

    Hollywood Brown thread?

    Did I miss something? I don't recall anything of that sort. I think he lacks ability when it comes to contested catches; but then, perhaps amidst all the losses, people forget some of the impressive efforts and catches he's demonstrated even this season, too.

    The 2023-24 league year

    In general being farther to the right indicates better route running... But in Moore's case I'd guess that he gets a lot of separation on average because he's targeted behind the line of scrimmage often.

    Steelers are a Bad Matchup

    Random fun fact: I was at Roethlisberger's first game at Baltimore in week 2 of 2004. (I was a Ravens season ticket holder.) Tommy Maddox started the game but got hurt on a strip sack at the Steelers' 1 yard line. After Jamaal Lewis (dang, he was fun to watch!) scored for the Ravens to take...

    Cardinals at Steelers gameday thread 12-3-23

    I don't believe an NFL game has ever been ended prematurely because of any kind of weather, aside from Pre-Season. Edit: It did happen once, in 1935! See @Jersey Girl 's post below.

    Guess the Steelers' offensive problems ran deeper than their O.C.!

    Is Kyler Murray the answer at QB for next year and beyond?

    This thread isn't about whether we expect the team to be good, it's about evaluating Murray. Huge exaggeration - he tore his ACL, not his arm off. He was throwing and working on footwork in pre-season, if not sooner. I don't really see anyone fretting over outcomes. The offense is pretty...

    Is Kyler Murray the answer at QB for next year and beyond?

    I saw that and assumed that the timing thing meant that depending which leg starts forward, given that he has to plant with his left leg forward, he either needs to take 3-step vs. 3.5-step drops, or 5-step vs. 5.5-step, etc. And I guessed that some of the routes in Petzing's offense are...
