However, we should. Is Murray physically strong enough to make it through an NFL season or is he the Cards’ version of Stafford? I’ve already written that his style of play is more physically more risk averse than other running QBs. It is beginning to look like he is indeed too fragile to be counted on to finish the season. Can you win with a QB that misses a significant part of the season? Haven’t we been here before? Is it just a coincidence the Cards play in a division with LA, well known for knocking out QBs?

Ehhh I agree with you more often then not. But he’s played in and started 32 of 32 games.... Last weeks injury was questionable from the jump... but the way that DL landed on him and rolled up his ankle today isn’t really controllable and has no bearing on size. The question is should he have been able to tough it out with so much on the line?

The offensive line play, especially in the interior is poor.

Joe Borrow tore his ACL earlier in the season and he is 6'4 230

All this does is distract from the real issue of keim having a scapegoat when the season doesn't go as planned once again. Bidwill and his play friend Keim will just continue not being professionals in team building and will continue the mediocrity. Kyler and even KK to some extent are just a symptom of the real issue. Not the main issue themselves.

Come on. He hasn't missed a start.

Obviously, you couldn't wait to talk about it.

Stafford would never miss a playoff-dependent game with an ankle sprain.
Wait...what happened to your other post calling Kyler every name in the book, saying how you supported him "when nobody else did" lololololol

The franchise isn't that good but that doesn't mean some of the blame doesn't land on Murray. If you are great to start the season but when you start to get dinged up and don't play the same causing the one real weapon you bring against any other average pocket QB, then he may also be part of the problem.

Harry is correct. Who decided to make this draft pick? Who decided to hire the GM who made this decision. How many years do you give someone? Interesting that the GM picks a coach that can be excused to give him 3 years thus giving the GM 3 years. The coach picks a QB that gives him 3 years. The GM is lost; the coach is lost; the QB is lost; and the team just lost.
