This reminds me of the golf channel, owned by the PGA tour, and their analysts having a 'strong' opinion against a player tweeting about the league and officiating of rules during the Phoenix open. Grain of salt. Not dismissing the take on Kyler. Just the narrative the NFL network, ie owners/NFL, will paint for a more favorable outlook for themselves..IMO.

Who is tearing down Burrow, I merely pointed out that he deleted a ton of social media posts while at LSU because he'd gotten famous and didn't want them getting out because he thought they'd make him look bad. And nobody seems to remember it even happened because nobody made a big deal out of it, they let him mature and now they love him.

In like a week it's been Murray is demanding a new contract, no he's demanding a trade, no he's mad at the Cardinals. It's VERY clear nobody on here actually knows why Murray did it, but because he's our QB, everyone is still going on and on about it. 76 pages of it so far.

To my knowledge I haven't mentioned Brady in this thread once.
This is actually good. My brother was moving out of Frat life and becoming a professional and I reminded him of what was on his Facebook and he cleaned it up. I don’t really see how Murray and Burrow are equivalent or even similar. Please explain it to me.

My personal theory is he saw all the people in the media/fans online taking shots at him and thought "I can click the hide post button and watch everyone freak out."

77 pages of people making excuses for Murray, too.
I think it’s so weird that people don’t see any issue with the Cardinals and Murray being dragged through the mud by pretty much every media source... and think no big deal.

Do the people laughing at the “overreacting” think good players are blind to the overwhelming negativity surrounding the Cards or do see it and are just going say “you know... there’s a place that seems like a good place to play?” Especially in a year where we’re probably gonna be cap-strapped and won’t be able to bowl FAs over with big money contract offers.

ugh…. I feel like this is probably true. And if so, it is toxic. Players will look at MB, SK, and KK and give the SMDH vibe about what direction this team is going. Instead of recruiting, they’ll be warning other players to stay away. I really hope this isn’t true.

I’m pretty sure your eyes have seen Murray receive way more criticism than excuses throughout these 77 pages.
Nope. Too many simply shaking it off and saying "It's what kids do." or "Nothing to see here." Uh, wake up. The nation is talking about this situation. During Super Bowl weekend. It was Rams, Bengals, and Cardinals talk. Not a good look at all. Might make the other 31 teams more appealing to major FA's.

You mean the “too many” that is under the a lot more criticism/slander? I think you might need to wake up. This thread has definitely been far from a Kyler-friendly zone, even for good reason.

People don't really change who they are all that often. If this kid isn't wired the right way to inspire and lead others...it will play out on the field. Time will tell.

True, but none of this had to do with the initial post of this discussion.

I can't believe people are still bitching about an 11 win season when most of the ones bitchin didn't expect a better than 8 win season. Especially after all of the very crappy seasons we've endured in the past. Gone are the days of Max Hall & Derek Anderson.
C’mon, raise the bar. Accepting this season is what losing organizations do. The fact we had to endure Max Hall is why we deserve better.

Exactly. Celebrating this season as if the catastrophe at the end of it didn’t exist is a loser mentality.

not to mention the fact that the team has somehow continued to make that stinkfest somehow worse AFTER getting humiliated in the playoffs with the non-stop ugly media ish-storm about everything from internal blow-ups to bonuses not paid on time to the Kyler crap.

I still think there's a very easy way to fix this.... Trade Kyler Murray...
But I bet there are a lot more teams that want Kyler Murray than want Steve Keim or Kliff Kingsbury...
If Murray is that big of an issue.... Get rid of him and let Keim draft his replacement lol.... lol.... lol
I have absolutely No doubt that Atlanta would be willing to take Murray straight across and let the Cards have Josh (Chosen) Rosen back...
With all the great Hall of Fame QB's the Cardinals have drafted since they moved here to Arizona.... I'm suprised they haven't released Murray already, knowing that QB's like Brady and Rodgers have been waiting their whole careers to play for the Arizona Cardinals SMH....
Complete Sarcasm here...

Quick, non-football related take.

Everything that has happened in the past week is NOISE. Its high drama. Its tabloid garbage created to keep you clicking, yakking, and lamenting. All of it makes more revenue for the ethics-free turds who "report on the NFL" for every terrible, pop up ad filled space out there in internetville.

The NFL is nothing more than Survivor, or The Bachelor, or So you think you can dance, or whatever. It used to be a game a played by mean ass ****'s, and has devolved into a 12 month a year revenue generating machine fueled by 8 months of off season where the only interesting thing going on is what some kid, 30 years your junior is doing on his 1000$ pocket computer using apps youve probably barely heard of, let alone spent significant time on.

We are a culture devoid of the ability to simply sit back, and enjoy something. I have had a wonderful time reading this thread. The back and forth makes me laugh and laugh and laugh.

I'm saying it's odd to me that the reaction is worse to someone just deleting pictures that are normal than someone deleting posts that were considered offensive.

Yes it's good that when Joey Burrow became Joe Burrow he realized he probably should clean up stuff he'd posted in the past, but it's still odd to me that deleting offensive posts is seen as less problematic than deleting pictures.

Oh please. You pointed it out and indicated it is funny people care more about KM and what he did vs. Burrow. What is going on with KM has absolutely nothing to do with Burrow. You didn’t bring up Brady but it is in this thread.

That's not tearing down Burrow it's pointing out that because Kyler is our QB people are holding him to a much higher standard than they do other young players in the league.

You don't even know why he did it, you just know it's wrong.

I think it’s because when one deletes old potential bad posts it’s a sign of maturing whereas when one removes posts of their team it’s a sign of petulant immaturity. Similar actions kind of pointing in different directions.

Because getting rid of offensive material is good?

If Kyler had said, “yo I’m cleaning up my timeline because I don’t like these pics of golf bags and tequila I got my OL anymore” this isn’t a story. It’s because there’s no explanation that the one that’s applied to basically every other instance is imposed in it.

No, you are doing what all of the KM apologists do. Point to someone else who did something or had a bad game and compare them to KM to make your point.
