Film study

[TRW]

MB wanted it in, KM and his agent agreed to it, seems both sides are happy. In the long run this will be a nothingburger. KM will either perform up to or past the contract or he won't. IMO his physical health will determine his longevity and performance far more than any film clause in his contract.

What an embarassing organization. Kyler, did you complete your homework?

What a laughing stock team. Bonehead Prez, GM and a brat for a quarterback.

Not a good look.

 

[DemsMyBoys]

How do they check to see that he’s done his homework? Is there a test? Does he have to write a two page essay?

I know there are a lot of cricket fans on this board (...) and this contract thing reminds me of an issue the Australian team had a few years ago.

Four players were suspended from a major international fixture after failing to hand in an assignment. The incident was dubbed "homeworkgate" and the coach was sacked not long after.

Midway through Australia’s tour to India in 2013, Arthur, along with captain Michael Clarke and team manager Gavin Dovey, chose to stand down four players from the Australia team after they failed to complete a simple off-field task – to give three points on how the team could progress and three points on how players could progress as individuals – after their defeat in the second Test at Hyderabad left them 2-0 down in the series with two to play.

The four players in question – Shane Watson, James Pattinson, Usman Khawaja and Mitchell Johnson – were controversially made ineligible for selection for the third Test of the series in a move that hung over Arthur for the remainder of his reign before he was replaced as Australia coach weeks before that year’s Ashes series in England by Darren Lehmann.

How An Off-Hand Comment From Ed Cowan Led To The Homework-Gate Scandal

The homework-gate scandal in India was arguably the defining incident of Mickey Arthur's spell as the Australia men's head coach.

Game Day

Righto Kyler... you ready to go? You devour that tape like we asked?

Sure did. So... who we playin'?

 

[cardcrazy]

They set the bar pretty low!
4 hours a week?!?
Kylers probably thrilled with that, he can do that in 1 afternoon and play video games the rest of the week!

Lots of ways. I have systems where I have to spend a certain amount of hours of coursework for my licensing and it is easy to see if I did it.

 

[Cardsfan77]

If the scrutiny bothered Kyler before the contract, he hasn’t seen anything yet that will come after. He’s getting absolutely roasted everywhere lol.

 

[phillycard]

I get the "gist" but this is just another in a long list of Cardinal embarrassments so to speak. We're always doing the wrong thing at the right time, and this is just another example. No matter the motive, it should have been impressed upon him at negotiations that to whom much is given, much is expected. You don't pay a man that kind of money, and not make it clear he's got to hold up his end of the deal. I don't know who publicized this but I'm not thrilled about it.

The organization as a whole is taking criticism. Management and Kingsbury for allowing this for 3 years and now making a thing out of it because they are paying $250M to child.

Larry retiring is probably a damning revelation as to how bad it really is in the locker room and why we've seen the second half collapses the last 2 years. Maybe Larry's dad was telling the truth but Larry is too classy of a guy to call out a teammate and organization.

 

[SeattleCard]

This story is blowing up big time. Terrible unforced error by the Cards... makes us look bad. Unfortunate it's even a discussion point.

 

[BurqueCardFan]

It's embarrassing that it's got to this point. It all starts at the top. The fact that the coaching staff has allowed this to be an issue is part of the problem. No accountability.
Do you think Kurt Warner needed to be told to watch film? The same could be said about all the recent greats (Peyton, Brady, Brees, etc..).
The fact that this is even a point of discussion tells me all I need to know about Kyler. His athletic ability will keep us relevant for years but I doubt he has the drive or passion that is needed to be great. I hope I am wrong but I don't see him taking us to the "promised land". Unfortunately, the same can be said for the head coach and his passion to win.

If it is interactive enough, you can gauge it. seems pretty simple for a massive cash cow organization to implement.

Could also be because Larry was washed up. He was 37. Maybe that’s just me.

I was with you right up to here. Larry retired because he was utterly washed. He probably watched film of himself and realized that he couldn't do it anymore.

LOL. Borg.

 

[slanidrac16]

I would have wanted 20 hours a week in season

Mariucci said most quarterbacks study 4 hours of film every day. Man it’s getting harder and harder to really put my arms around this kid.

 

[football karma]

what i dont get:

the enforcement mechanism for the study clause is terminating the contract -

So I am not sure what this gets the organization that a gentleman's agreement between ownership/FO and Murray couldn't.

 

[Cardsfan77]

If he keeps improving on the field and gets us back to the playoffs this season arms will be around. Other than that I couldn’t care less

 

[slanidrac16]

Absolutely. If he had gone 20 of 30 for 3 td’s against the Tams or played better at the end of the season we wouldn’t be talking about this.
But he didn’t and he hasn’t. HE made the statement last year about studying film. His play digressed. So the Cardinal brass had to put this into a contract while paying him 250m??? Ridiculous. I’m shocked they actually let that leak out.

 

[daves]

4 hours is pointless. Putting any clause in the contract is dumb when it should be enforced by coaching like everyone else.

It literally can't be "enforced by coaching". The CBA limits how much time the team can require players to be at the facility, and would prohibit a coach from going to Murray's house to watch over him while he studies.

Extra study can be encouraged, promoted, cajoled, etc. by coaches, but it can't be enforced by coaches.

Include little quizzes that can only be answered after each segment. Not rocket science.

Yea it’s really simple honestly

 

[slanidrac16]

Can’t wait to see the report. Kyler’s first 4 hour of film watching and test is complete. He got a C+.

Watch the post that are going to pop up after a bad game. This is going to hilarious.
