    Of all the things to question or be sick of, cutting Ingram after adding Michael Carter is not one!

    Dobbs to the Vikings

    A reply to the original tweet (X? :rolleyes:) claims that the Froholdt signing had already negated the comp pick, and the original tweeter (X'er? :rolleyes:) agreed. But as K9 pointed out, the original might've been right and both guys might now be wrong. @kerouac9, how about weighing in with a...

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

    He won three consecutive must-win games to get the Cards into the playoffs, then won a road playoff game vs. the Cards' biggest division rival... pretty much the opposite of what Murray did in the clutch in 2020 and 2021.

    If you think we should move on from Kyler then answer this...

    I didn't say they would use only two first-round picks, and I didn't say they'd move all the way to the #1 pick. I think if they push some of 2024's draft assets into 2025, especially if that includes acquiring an additional first-round pick, they'll have enough assets in 2025 to keep their...

    If you think we should move on from Kyler then answer this...

    Murray isn't playing under center significantly more than he has previously. (Though this week, his best drive was the one where he played under center more.) People can BEGIN to form a judgement based on what we're seeing right now, even with all the caveats. NO ONE has said he's expected to...

    "Freeze" just told us he doesn't watch football without saying, "I don't watch football".

    Trade some of their bounty of 2024 picks for a #1 in 2025, then use their two #1s in 2025 to move up to the top of the round? :shrug:

    Rams at Cardinals gameday thread 11-26-23

    So Murray is being coached to stay in the pocket and they're not calling any designed runs... Except for the time when they forgot to use this brilliant strategy and accidentally had Murray run for a TD?

    Kyler Murray Going Forward Thread

    There's a chance that Murray performs somewhere between "so bad that the Cards get a top-2 pick and need to take a QB" and "so good that the Cards are 100% convinced he's their franchise QB". In that case they probably wouldn't be in position to take one of the top two QB prospects, and perhaps...

    2024 Draft Countdown/NFL Prospects thread

    Indeed... a superstar WR may put up stats, but won't help a team to a Super Bowl trophy without a franchise QB and other supporting pieces. But, the entire supposition behind taking MHJ is that the team is convinced that Murray is a franchise QB. If he's not, then the team won't be taking a WR...

    The Next Step For Murray

    Agree that Dobbs is a more physical runner than Murray... but I'm not sure body mass has that much to do with it. Dobbs (220 lbs.) has 6% more body mass than Murray (207 lbs.).

    The Positive Kyler Murray News Thread

    I guess we shall see. Or, hopefully, Murray will play well enough from here on out that the Cards happily keep him.

    The Positive Kyler Murray News Thread

    I stand corrected! Forgot that the 2nd rounder turned into a 1st because Wentz played 75% of the snaps. (Which only makes it an even more awful trade for the Colts and a bigger red flag!)

    The Positive Kyler Murray News Thread

    How do they know this? They're finding out at the same time and in the same way as the rest of us - by evaluating his performance on the field in live action for the first time these past two weeks. So, when other players play poorly, it's because they suck, but when Murray plays poorly, it's...

    The Positive Kyler Murray News Thread

    No, he didn't. EDIT: Oops, nevermind - that conditional 2nd turned into a 1st because Wentz played 75% of the snaps! Thanks @TheCardFan (but the point remains: ) And both of the trades in which he was involved are universally viewed as stupid moves by the acquiring teams - red flags that...

    The Positive Kyler Murray News Thread

    Plus, as I noted in another thread, $850,000 per game roster bonus through the end of his deal. I don't understand the persistent magical thinking where Murray is bad enough that the Cardinals are smart enough to ditch him and his remaining contract, but some other team is stupid enough to take...

    The Next Step For Murray

    So the Cardinals, who know him better than anyone, will be smart enough to recognize that he's not a franchise QB and not worth his remaining contract... but some other team will be dumb enough to give up a #1 pick and pick up the contract? AND $850,000 per game roster bonus through the end of...

    Arizona Cardinals @ Houston Texans Pregame thread. 11/12/23-11/18/23

    What you wrote was 100% correct - 11th in yards per game. But 4th in fewest attempts against, thus 21st in yards per attempt against, which I think is a more accurate measure of how good the D is vs. the pass. It's just that they're so bad vs. the run, opponents don't bother passing much. :sad:

    FTFY. EDIT: bolded the "per play" part. PACardsFan's original post was accurate.
