Let’s Take a Moment to Overreact to Kyler’s IG Page

[PJ1]

Yes, this is picking up steam all over. Including lots of speculation as to where he might go. Tampa, Denver etc. It is certainly not nothing and, in my opinion, real bad form after the way the season ended. KM was part of a pretty bad collapse. Instead of getting mad and determined to come back and get things right, we get another whining fit. Or at least that is what it appears to be.

Exactly this.

If Kyler were any kind of leader at all he'd speak to the press about what wiping his IG means. Instead, we're all left to speculate that he's just another pouty little QB who isn't getting his way. Not a good look at all and sadly not surprising at all either. Solidifies the idea that he might not ever be "the guy."

In other news, George Bush continues to insist there are WMDs in Iraq.

Could just be Kyler noping out of zuckerburgs ****** social empire like most kid are these days. Both Facebook and Instagram are in decline.

I know people who have noped out on FB and several still have an active profile but did a mass culling of their photos and posts. Can still message them but they don’t participate on the platform anymore

Noping out is a great new phrase. Thank you for bringing that one into my vocabulary.

Well, the place is the size of Texas. Not unimaginable.

Same here. Learn something new every day.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Yeah... I’m driving across the desert and this is all over every sports radio station.

This is just another sign of immaturity from our franchise leader. He’s not stupid. He knows what a move like this looks like. And to do it after consecutive seasons, where like it or not, he was one of the main authors of back to back collapses combined with totally ish-ing the bed in a playoff game, is really lame.

You actually don't have to speculate about anything. Kyler, or his new social media team, wiped ALL of his old photos from Instagram. It wasn't specific to the Cardinals. He didn't unfollow the Cardinals. There is zero indication he's unhappy with the Cardinals. Fans and media hyperventilating over a non-event is not really his responsibility to address. He's probably laughing at all the nonsense.

Speculation + speculation + speculation ad infinitum = a steam-driven train of speculation and nothing more.

Well, maybe Kyler would think this is simply too silly for words.

Sure a lot of speculation, but Murray fed the media monster. Maybe he isnt smart enough to know that the media would've caught on to this and blew it out of proportion, but now it's an unnecessary distraction.

Lamar Jackson has a more pressing contract situation, but you barely hear about it because he keeps his mouth shut.

Yeah, I'm sure Kyler is distracted by all this hot air.

Cousins was 27 years old.

Joe Burrow this year averaged 295 total yards per game. Kyler over 300.

Burrow accounted for 2.25 TDs per game and Kyler accounted for 2.07. Kyler was at 2.5 through 8 weeks, when Hopkins went down.

Not much of a difference in their stats, in fact Kyler was pretty significantly better than Burrow until DeAndre Hopkins was injured. Meanwhile Joe Burrow was throwing to two of the best young receivers in the game all season long. It's amazing to see that so many people think Joe Burrow is so great because his team has carried him to some playoff wins. He's a fine quarterback. His stats are comparable to... gasp.. Kirk Cousins.

Yeah it's not just stats he's comparable too. Burrow has carried his team in key games with a garbage O line, worse than our own by far. The close out the season and through the playoffs he's done exactly what you need from your QB.

Kyler by comparison has lost every prime time game, was poor to close the season and was awful in his only playoff game. Which is exactly like Kirk Cousins.

It's been all over the media for 2 days, yet he hasn't even bothered to tweet a basic denial...

The only denial I can see are those thinking there's nothing in this. The more it drags on without comment from Murray the more it seems there is intention behind it.

 

[DaHilg]

Definitely don’t feel Cinci’s Oline is any worse than ours. Just because Joey B has taken more sacks doesn’t qualify that opinion. Kyler

It would take like 5 seconds to tweet "Don't believe what you hear" and kill it all stone dead.

 

[DaHilg]

And when you have a NFL play calling scheme… w WRs that get amazing separation. Ya - that makes a massive difference. At this point I hope he does want out and gets traded.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Well, maybe Kyler would think this is simply too silly for words.

He's about as good with words as he is stringing late-season wins together.

 

[BritCard]

It's worse in PFF grade, PFF ranking, DVOA and any other metric you can use to measure O line performance.

They allowed 171 pressures and 25 TFL's vs our 150 and 12.

It's definitely worse.

 

[tnmike]

Let me get this straight. He hasn't said anything to confirm that he is dissatisfied, not a word. And yet he needs to come out and deny something that he hasn't said. Really?

 

[mjb21aztd]

Ehhhh honestly if kyler leaves maybe cards could get a pure 6 5 6 6 pocket passer who doesnt run back 10 plus yds lol

Really hope kyler stays with his issues kyler still top 10 qb would be hard to replace....

PFF lol.. and kyler hides a ton of this lines deficiencies w his athleticism

When every major sports network is talking about it yes. That's how it works when sports networks are saying things about you that aren't accurate. You correct them, in this case he could do it in a 5 second tweet.

When Schefter announced Brady's retirement it took Tom about 10 minutes to say "Hold on guys, I haven't decided anything yet".

If Sports networks were saying Kyler had a falling out with Hopkins or something else that wasn't true you would expect him to correct the record right?

 

[BritCard]

PFF lol.. and kyler hides a ton of this lines deficiencies w his athleticism

Yeah because Burrow is a statue

 

[DaHilg]

Yeah because Burrow is a statue

Compared to Kyler pretty much everyone not named Lamar or RW3 is for sure. Burrow like most young QBs also is susceptible to holding the ball too long… and I love me some Joey B
