Encouraging Kyler Murray Trends

[daves]

In 943 snaps thru first 15 gms Kyler Murray has not lost a fumble

This has been amazing me, considering that he carries the ball like a loaf of bread! Every time he runs i'm just waiting for someone to bat it out of his hand. He must be doing something right!

He avoids big hits so not a lot of fumbles.

Reminds me of Terry Metcalf... minus the fumbles which is remarkable lol

Hey that’s something legit. Beat on Murray all everyone wants for his warts but to make it thus far without fumbling is amazing.

I think he deserves OROY. And you all know how I felt, and how continuously worried I am he won’t be as great as others think.

But it sure is nice seeing this. (There’s a good “but” for you, @DVontel)

By starting today, it makes the 9th time since Cardinals moved to AZ that the same QB started all 16 games. That is 9 times in 31 years. Jake has three of those by himself by starting all games in 3 of 5 years.

Timm Rosenbach
Dave Krieg <-Blown away by that one!
Jake Plummer X3
Kurt Warner
Carson Palmer X2 <- Really thought it was only one time!
Kyler Murray


Russell Wilson is 8 for 8 with his start tonight. Hope this is the start of the same.

Dave Krieg set the record for most times sacked that season.

Yup, broke his own record of 52 with 53 sacks.

Lots of ways to parse out this data, but for me it looks good that we actually finish the season going from almost 1/3 more 3 and outs per game to (about) below-average. Points per drive has also really surged, even making it to an average level against the 16th-ranked (Seattle) and 8th-ranked (LARM) defenses by DVOA on the road to end the year.

The two fumbles still burn my #&@. They were clearly not on Kyler.

This graphic is interesting - (3 good games, then a bad one)*4, so we rebound well from our cyclical collapses. Kliff ain't a bad coach, I hope he ends up a great one though.

Kyler Murray finished No. 15 in ESPN's Total QBR, above Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Jared Goff and every first- and second-year QB not named Lamar Jackson.

Murray's completion percentage of 64.39 is a club rookie record & among all Cardinals QBs only Kurt Warner ever had a higher one (67.1 in ’08, 66.1 in ’09 & 64.53 in ’05).

Just 4 rookies in NFL history finished with a higher completion percentage.

How many rookies in NFL history finished with 5 or more wins?

Mark Dalton should take a break from Twitter.

Epic Burn. If this was Mortal Kombat..... I would be yelling: FINISH HIM!!!!

What else is he supposed to do to earn his salary as "Senior Vice president, media relations "?

It can't be much. I wish I could dig up stuff to Tweet about the Cardinals and be a Senior Vice President.

Plenty, but how many great QBs started their career with a worse record? I know Peyton Manning and Steve Young both fall into that category.

And there it is...

C'mon man...you're just being combative at this point.

The ship has sailed...Murray played better than any rookie QB this franchise has ever had and one of the best rookie years of any QB.

You don't have to agree with giving up on Rosen.
You don't have to be a Murray fan boy.
You don't have to like that we only won 5 games this year vs 3 last year (improvement)
You don't even have to like the guy.
But you can't deny his talent/performance as a rookie (especially compared to Rosen last year).

If you are just having fun being an antagonist...fine.
But don't you want to enjoy being a Cardinals fan? We haven't had much to cheer about in the past 50 years.
