Kyler Murray Appreciation Thread

[CardsSunsDbacks]

I don't think Kyler considers his completion percentage in the moment, but I feel it is something he has been concerned/protected about since he came into the league. He has never thrown the ball away both in the pocket or outside of it. He takes losses behind the LOS instead of just tossing it out of bounds. Somehow he has been coached/taught to not throw the ball away which the only reason not to is to preserve your comp%.

Is that really the only reason? What if when you go to throw it away you get hit by a defender you lost track of and it leads to a turnover? It's not about his completion percentage, but protecting the ball and at times to the team's detriment.

This could be accurate, but I have never known any coach to coach this behavior. Inside the pocket, potentially yes, but outside the pocket and heading to the sideline...never.

I agree with this. He seems very mindful of them. I think there is a reason he takes a sack instead of throwing the ball away. Two reasons actually. It doesn't hurt his completion % and it increases his pressure rates.

This is honestly hilarious.

It's not about "legacy" it's about stat-padding for the next contract/so he can point the finger elsewhere.

This may be the funniest stan post I've read this season. Well done!

Pardon my ignorance, what does stan post mean exactly?

Pardon my ignorance, what does stan post mean exactly?

I could be completely wrong, but when I hear this I always think of the eminem song "Stan", which he raps about this crazy fan named Stan.

Stan is eminem's self-proclaimed "biggest fan" and so fanatically devoted to the rapper that he eventually kills himself just because eminem didn't write back to him in time after Stan reached out to him a couple of times.

So then, fans of players who are over-devoted to the player are therefore referred to as "Stans".

I'm old AF though so I'm probably incorrect.
