The chemistry between Kyler and Marvin doesn't seem to have improved as the season has gone on which is worrying.

Zero growth in a young prospect points to coaching to me.
Talk about squandering talent.

Watching the Field Yates ESPN review of Marv in college and I swear he's talking about a different kid.
Great after the catch, YAC beast. What?
What he does the best is make contested catches. What?
The funny thing is I watched the first 2 minutes of the video and almost every catch they showed was a body catch, I now totally get what Stroud meant when he called him a body catcher.

In hindsignt I wish the Cards had a guy like D HOp they brought back just for the 1 year so Marv's rookie season wasn't all on him to be the guy. And also to give Marv someone to look at and learn from for one year. I know D Hop is not a big practice guy but so many things he did are things Marv really struggles with, contested catches, highpointing the ball, protecting the ball with his body, etc.
I think that's probably the biggest failure for him with the Cards this year that the most experienced receivers on the roster are dortch and Zay Jones.

Not having DHop this year, in my opinion, probably cost us 2-3 more in the "W" column. That's my story and, well, you know...

this is the most disturbing thing about both our staff and Harrison. He's getting WORSE as the season goes on. That's really worrisome.

Yeah I know it was a money decision and it works for him he might be in the Super Bowl this year, but I think that would have been a real help to Marv this year to have a guy like that. I guess the argument is D Hop would be the X receiver and that's what they drafted Marv to do.
even a guy like Thielen who just knows how to get open and catch the ball would have been so valuable for Marv to have to learn from this year.
I saw a comment that rang true yesterday. In college he was a big fast guy and teams were concerned about him going by them so when he ran his route he was usually open. NFL teams started out early playing safeties over the top but quickly figured out, we don't really have to worry about him going by us, outside of a few busted plays where someone fell down or someone totally busted coverage, he hasn't ran by anybody all year. So those routes in front are now heavily contested, and he just isn't competitive enough for those balls

The thing I was watching earlier the guy was saying it's scouting reports. You see it regularly in college basketball the "freshman wall" is often not really about fatigue it's about by conference play teams have a scouting report, a book, on everyone and freshmen have to adjust to it.
I think that's the issue with Marv, and Kyler. Teams have figured out nobody on this team, except maybe Zay, can actually run by anybody. So they don't give Marv the room he was used to getting. as the season goes on I actually think Marv is getting less safety over the top not more, teams have realized he's not going to run by the CB 1 on 1

Too many Marv threads but needs to be said.
Marv has 2 games this year over 100 yards, Rams and Miami. The Rams were missing THREE starters in their secondary for that game. The Dolphins were missing 2.
The next highest yards total he's had this year, 64, then 60. 10 of his 15 games this year he's had less than 50 yards receiving. We are seven games removed from the Dolphins game.
Whatever the issue is, it's real.

Forgot to add. According to "advanced stats" he has forced exactly ONE missed tacklet this year.
Marv needs to live with Fitz this off-season.

In terms of what he needs to add to his game I think hanging with Anquan would help him more. Be a grown azz man.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
Marv needs to do some long soul searching in the offseason. He needs to do a lot of work. He also needs a new QB that will help him develop his game.
