Are we going to do Kyler is great again now?

It was an average game TBH outside his TD run and the 4th and 5 "MHJ down there somewhere" throw.

As a passer it was a below average game.

Blah blah blah.

280 yards from scrimmage and two TDs yesterday against a salty defense.

Top 10 QB in league by almost any metric you want to choose.

Kit in the HOF.

All while breaking in rookie WR1 and fairly new WR2.

Yeah, he pretty great.

He can be. It's maddening how inconsistent he is.

Just between you and me Krang, since you're my boy, I'll admit he's a little streaky. Don't tell anybody I said that though!

It could be that, even at 26 or 27, he's still learning how to manage the emotions of the game. I think that's possible. He may need to get a little more cold-blooded.

But I think he will work to fix it. Kid wants to win pretty bad.

But K1 can’t captain the team to a comeback.

It just continues to get worse for the QB experts on the board. Maybe we can bring back Dobbs next season as a stop gap while we look for a new QB.

He's showing signs of being a little more clutch.

Last year's PHI game was another good comeback against a determined foe. One where he made a bad mistake (the 100 yard pick six) but came back from it.

As much as I believe in Murray, and as much as I hate to admit it, the "overcome adversity" is a little bit of a thing for him. But he's working on it. It's starting to turn.

Murray played well enough to win. That's all we ask for. When he plays terrible, like last week, he'll get called out. When he plays great, like against the Rams, he'll get accolades.

Murray could have had a great game today, but he missed some throws and McBride dropped a potential TD. But every QB misses some throws, see Aaron Rodgers.

The offense should continue to get better and Murray will have to be a big part of it. I still think his biggest problem is when teams keep him in the pocket. When he can get out and use his legs, that opens up the offense.

Crazy Petz doesn’t do consistent designs to get him out of the pocket??? Still absolutely clueless why we aren’t playing to the guys biggest strength
