Kyler Murray Debate Thread

[BritCard]

That first play I mentioned in the game thread. Had he been decisive and run right away it's an easy first down. He was focused though on Wilson and the deep throw and ignoring everything else.

I'd just like to see him stop and make the throw to Weaver here. It's not a tough throw.

One thing very apparent from watching the All 22. There are very few plays that ask Kyler to sit in the pocket and go through reads. There are far more plays that are either designed to go to one guy no matter what, or Kyler is deciding pre snap he's going to that guy no matter what. The 2nd most common option is against zone coverage Kyler just looks around until he find a guy stood open.

There is very little (might not be any TBH) of traditional QB progressions where Kyler sits in the pocket and goes through 1, 2, 3 reads.

A lot of the same things that happened under Kliff are still there.

Kurt Warner was talking about this on the This is Football podcast. He said that many OCs and QB coaches are actually teaching their quarterbacks progressions 1, 2, 3 instead of teaching them how to read the defense and respond to that.

The progressions are an "easy button" to program the QB and he doesn't have to do the mental work to sove problems. Kind of a short-term solution that creates a long-term problem.

I think the biggest deal with Kyler is that he's a poor rhythm passer and we have wideouts who excel in rhythm passing games. Kyler doesn't make good anticipation throws, so he's waiting for these big angular guys to get open.

Don't disagree with the progressions. It also could be why we see the passing yards so far down this season especially with the young QBs.

How can anyone say how our WR are X after playing so little games as Cardinals and with K1. I don't think we have enough game tape on any of them yet to determine their traits.

This 100%. It's why I give MHJ a lot of grace. Kyler is not a WR friendly QB.

Kyler on his increased command at the line of scrimmage:“When you're a rookie, you get surprised by coverages, blitzes, schemes and stuff like that. Now being in Year 6, OK, I can eliminate certain things. They can do this. They can't do this because certain dudes are there. There are a lot of things that I can eliminate pre-snap and be able to play faster."

Trey McBride should get high target share against the Chargers' defenseMcBride has been targeted on 25.5% of his routes, which is the 2nd highest target rate among TEs. The LA defense allows targets to TEs at the 3rd highest rate in the NFL, making them susceptible

A point in favor of Murray I think.

McBride is sure-handed and runs good routes. He's a reliable productive weapon.

And, Murray is finding him. A lot.

I thought this was hilarious after just watching him zone read into a safety that was just stood right there to stop the zone read, then sit on the floor and throw his hands up like it was a surprise.
