Last I checked more than just the QB contribute to winning games. The fact that you seem to be unable to understand that is puzzling. I have little doubt in my mind that if KM could play with the defense that Stanton had or the overall supporting cast that Smith had he would have won a bunch of games this year. Unfortunately he had a pretty poor supporting cast and and a very bad defense.
Why do you and the excuse brigade run out the "its not Kyler fault" every time?A "transcendent" QB with a better team than last year......yes more was expected.
You are misrepresenting my argument. I never called Murray a transcendent player and I have never said the record isn't his fault. I am simply taking the stance that Kyler had a solid season and pretty darn good season for a rookie and thus doesn't deserve to be blamed for all of the teams losses. Win/loss is not nearly as black and white as you seem to be suggesting it is.
The late season momentum really changed my perspective on this. KM has had the ball in his hands in some opportunities to win, but he showed growth against good teams. Early on, it felt like all the kid could do was post great numbers against bad teams, or when good teams weren't paying attention and put their foot on his throat. I feel a lot different now.
Happy New Year and a belated Merry Christmas to you too!
