Meh the sack rate is BS, the amount of sacks kyler avoids bc of his athleticism brings that down drastically (yes he will take a long bonehead one here and there but has even got better on that). Our line is great at rush blocking (one of best in the league) and very much sub par at pass protection.

To compound on that we’ve literally never had a good interior line in his tenure. Even Fro is just OK at pass block, phenomenal at rush blocking. Always had a RT issue.. and I personally wasn’t a Hump guy at LT. Mediocre at best. Paris is a massive upgrade and will be a top 10 LT for the next decade.

I thought the o-line, particularly given the injuries, was good last year -- but it also was uneven. Certain games (SEA 1 and 2) they got it taken to them.

I also think pass blocking is made marginally easier when one of the strategies of the rush is to keep Kyler contained

$36.8 million of his 2026 salary becomes guaranteed on 3/17.

Super duper glad K1 all but guaranteed to be your QB1 for the 2026 season K9 (just in case we need one more year to build the offense around him).

If 2025 doesn't go that great, 2026 will be a make-or-break year for the hard-working, nice-to-waiters-and-other-customer-service persons, Kyler Murray.

Good one! If 2025 doesn't go well, he gone, regardless of the cap hit.

Haha, was joking with everyone a little. :)

Let's hope, for all our sakes, that in 2025 K1 plays at a level that has me pounding the table for a Murray contract extension, while you rage/plead/cajole the Cardinals "not to repeat their mistake" following the 2021 season.

I can’t tell if this is knowing satire anymore.
