Kyler Murray Debate Thread

No. You started talking about drafted QBs. As if that means anything.

You can easily be the best QB we ever drafted and the 20th best QB in the league.

Yeah but hes not 20th hes in the top 10.

Yeah, you can't use averages to measure consistency. You get a 7.1 YPA by having games with 9 and games with 5.

Compare Rams stats with Lions stats for example.

Also, 7.1 YPA is good enough for 20th in the NFL this season. It's basically proving your point.

Kyler's QBR is high because we've had a lot of tight games where he's come to life. He's on pace for less than 3,500 passing yards -- if he's healthy for 17 games. I can't believe he's going to make me sweat out this Over 3385.5 passing yards bet I made.

Absolutely Shifty

The one thing I hope Kyler adds to his game/athleticism is to know when to use deceleration.

He's got the best acceleration in the league at QB, but there are times he avoids sacks and keeps running instead of slowing down to toss a pass to an open man.

He actually did it once vs Miami with a pass to MHJ. Unfortunately it picked up a penalty. However, when Im watching Lamar/Mahomes/Allen they do that quite often. 5 yard run can be a 20 yard pass if he can slow it down and look up just a notch.

There is a stat for every argument. I had him in the 12-14 range before last week and I like him around 11 now. Next 5 games are ripe with pitfalls.

Chicago
Jets
Seahawks
Vikings
Seahawks

If he goes 3-2 in that stretch I will firmly plant him in the top 10.

LOL. I posted literally every stat on PFR where he wasn’t top 10. The only one is QBR.

I understand. I didn't say he was top 10 yet.
