So I just watched every play of Murrays from the alabama game on youtube last night. No handoffs, just his runs and throws. I was expecting it to hype me up for the season and give me a better look at what to expect.
Hopefully he is a lot better than that.
There was one all time, amazing scramble and throw for a TD. It was amazing. He also clearly has a quick release and can throw some darts but many of the throws were in poor windows and incomplete and he seemed like he ran just as often as he threw. All this along with him really not looking very good at all throwing the ball until late in the third once the game was out of reach. They did mostly catch up but it was clear on a lot of plays that Alabamas defense had been playing less aggressive at that point.
Also, all that talk of "he never gets hit so his size doesnt matter" was clearly not true.
Anyway, I'm still going to be optimistic but watching that whole game really didnt get me riled up positively.
