Kyler had a significant part???? Really?? If we had even an average interior OL, he wouldn't have had to run for his life all season. And only because of his insane ability to escape pressure, was he only sacked less than 30 times. If Watson was our QB this season, he would have been sacked over 50 times & this team maybe wins 5-6 games. Add a PATHETIC WR group, and it's crazy to put a "significant part of the blame" on Murray. Without Murray this season, this is a 3-4 win team at best.
Lol true. Not what I was getting at, but true. Take that outta the equation. Lawrence just starting a rookie contract with huge expectations or expensive but already proven awesome Watson?
A blockbuster trade won’t happen within the division.
Agreed. That's why Indy doesn't make sense either. If I was Chicago, San Fran, or New Orleans...... I would be all over Houston.
If Brees retires does that clear up enough cap space for New Orleans?? Because last I saw they were just about the worst for cap space this season
It'd be hilarious for him to go to the Bears at a very high price when they could've just drafted him instead of Trubisky.
Not totally sure but I hold the opinion that the cap can be manipulated if you want to get something done.
Do we even know if audibles and/or protection calls are built into the offense? And if there are audibles, and KM just doesn't know how to read the presnap defense... then whoever is coaching him sucks (KK).
Middle school offenses have audibles and Kliff has said Kyler has the ability to audible so I am guessing they are there. Also, my previous post is not intended to absolve Kliff of all responsibility, but top QBs everywhere make their coaches look good by getting out of bad plays and into good ones. It doesn't seem like Kyler is doing this to the degree he needs to if Kliff is the bad playcaller this board says he is.
The blame really doesn't 100% belong with Kyler or Kliff. IMO, the brunt of the blame is the interior of our OL & how inept our overall WR group was. And after the first 3 games, the D couldn't get off the field on 3rd down. How can you be critical of a 2nd year QB that threw for 4000 yards & accounted for 37 touchdowns & only had 12 interceptions.
Have you seen the route trees? This is a middle school offense. Couple that with almost no motion in the offense, and no designated hot routes...KM is kind of dealt a crappy hand. You have to believe that if KM was with a McVay/Reid/Shannahan type that he'd be lightyears ahead of where he is now...especially in terms of reading a defense and knowing what play to use to his advantage.
I believe Deshaun Watson is one of the five best QBs in the NFL. I have not seen anything to make me 100% confident Kyler Murray will ever be one of the five best QBs in the NFL. I understand if you feel differently, but it isn't a ridiculous concept. It has more to do with Watson than Murray. No one was advocating trading Murray for Stafford.
