Okay, I'll start it. I made this statement when we drafted him and I still hold by it, a high floor, low ceiling selection and so far he hasn't done enough to prove otherwise. What you see is what you get.
I dunno. The floor when we drafted him was pretty low. There was no real precedent for a short running QB from a spread offense in the NFL. Especially one who hadn't won anything. The ceiling he's shown is the best player in the NFL for more than half the season. That's pretty high!
Kyler's just always been a high-variance player. Kliff's system was supposed to iron out the lows while maintaining the highs. I think Petzing is trying to achieve a similar goal in a different way, mostly by trying to keep the offense on schedule better. With Kyler back, the offense has still really struggled to get and stay on schedule, although we're doing a good job of playing Canadian football and getting a first in two downs.
I don't think you're going to find out if Kyler Murray can win you a Super Bowl over these last six games. The team is likely trying to find out if Kyler can lead the offense and the team. They're saying the right things publicly; I'm cynical so I think they're trying to manifest it.
We have seen the percentage of shotgun increase massively since Kyler's return and I imagine that is because he hasn't had the offseason reps to get fully comfortable under center.
Do you have any actual data to substantiate this? We weren't under center much with Dobbs and (briefly) Tune. I posted the numbers before Kyler took over on another thread, but I don't remember where.
What PFR has shows that Kyler has five attempts out of 62 from under center, but I don't see our total snap percentage from under center. (BTW, on those five attempts zero have hit the ground -- four earned first downs and one was an INT).
