It All Starts with Murray

[Harry]

We’re 1 & 5 since our bye week, against one of the softest schedules in the league. Are you willing to still say we were “competing for the post season?”

Yes, still eligible in December is progress. Injuries, exhaustion due to a lack of roster depth caught up with the Cards.

Sorry Harry… our defense has played well enough in most games over this final stretch to put the team in positions to win.
It’s at this point of the season when QB play becomes paramount. Period. All top-tier QB’s have the ability to raise the level of their play in moments that count the most.
Hell, even Sam Darnold and a first year rookie in Daniels have done it.
Murray is the chief reason for yet another second half swoon… Period.

Noticed Bickley reached the same conclusion I did. 2025 is likely Murray’s last chance to establish a favorable Cardinal legacy.

That is great wording, Murray isn't a terrible QB, just on par with Jake Plummer in terms of exciting and infuriating simultaneously.

Progress starting from where?

The 2020 Arizona Cardinals were 8-6 heading into Christmas and collapsed at the end. Lost to a 6-8 49ers team and then a 10-6 Rams team that started John Wofford.

Maybe everything will be different in year #7!

Yes. We competed and we lost 3 of those games within a single score.

Did we compete enough? Hell no. Competing isn't the same as accomplishing. We competed without accomplishing.

Am I happy with the direction of this team without a major offensive shakeup going forward? Also no.

Too bad @MadJack is no longer making his banners for game days. Imagine some of the suggestions we could come up with for Kyler's 7th season.

I think it’s a unanimous opinion Harry. A good portion of the fan base actually doesn’t even want to give him another year. I disagree. One more year and that’s it! No more excuses

If Murray was a free agent this year, he’d be gone.

Hey. Brian! MadJack here. One of the biggest reasons I bailed out on the Cardinals was when they started censoring any of my banners that were deemed negative in any way.

I could no longer express what most fans felt and was forced to be a kiss asser or no banner allowed. So ripping Kyler on the banner would have been not allowed I assure you.

Sometimes upholding your honor and principles are the most important thing, agree?

It’s really pathetic that the franchise’s attitude killed one of all of our favorite traditions for the Cardinals… of which there are so few.

Totally agree and remember when they began "approving" and/or "not allowing" your banners. What a joke that was.

I’d wager it would be a mutual choice though

Why not?

It worked for Darnold.

Glad to see a post from you MadJack.

In a different uniform.
