It's not out of context in the sense that Kliff recruited Kyler and the two are very good friends. Kliff has massive respect for Kyler's talent. I guarantee you when he first started recruiting him, he saw visions of Manziel Part 2. Kyler is even faster than Manziel with a better arm than Manziel. His midget height is a problem though. Can you trust him to deal with potential crushing hits from grown men in the NFL?

Just tossing the ball around but this is why you keep Rosen. The Cardinals need to have a quarterback around for the next 15 years and they are in the best position to assure that.

Something that has not been talked about a lot, but the Cardinals could add another quarterback later on in the draft if they find one they like.

It all depends how the Cardinals feel about their quarterback position.

I'm going to be thrilled no matter which direction they take in the draft.

Kyler and Kliff would be incredibly intriguing. This adds another layer to the Cards being a national story.

So we are using a sound bite compliment about a rival player (on an established top team) in October, the week before they played OU as a leaked plan? Really?

I find this highly unlikely and borderline tin foil hat-ish...

I am certain the plan he sold MB and SK is the development of the high-ceiling potential of their pro style QB.

Wrong. It's full "tin foil."

Who's this "high ceiling qb" your speaking of? I didn't see one on the roster last year
Oh I could see how you could miss him...he was the guy running for his life...he was the guy whose mechanics started to change and breakdown because he could not step up in the pocket...he was the guy, who played 3 years in a pro style offense at a major university and was able to show a good arm and nice touch...believe me, he is on this team.

I think the similarities to Goff are spot on, I think CKK will install a modern (READ: coherent) offense and allows him to get in rhythm.

I am less worried about CKK fixing Rosen and more worried that we will not squander graft drafting position and cap space to build the team around him.

Because of his stature, I don't see him as 1st round pick...Maybe Cards wind up taking him in the second...

If the Cards drafted Murray and traded for that asshat antonio Brown I would seriously consider not following the team for the first time since 1963.

I would dump my season tickets 100%. Murray might be 5'8" with heels on.

Murray listed as 5’10”. or 5’11” depending on which site you check.
Didn’t find anywhere listing him shorter than that.
Russell Wilson is exactly 5’ 10 5/8”
Measured at the combine.
Wonder who’s faster?
Hmmm?

I would be shocked if Murray is taller than 5-9 at the Combine. Would not surprise me if he's 5-8.

But he is a phenomenal talent, faster than Johnny Manziel/Russell Wilson/Lamar Jackson with a very accurate and strong arm. He's very experienced running an offense similar to Kliff's. He loves Kliff from the recruiting process when he was in high school. I think they would work well together. His size is a huge question mark though. Is that speed good enough to prevent some mega hits by full grown men in the NFL?
