He had control with feet down in bounds.

Put it this way. If that's in play and not out of bounds it's a catch. So why should the sideline change that?
That’s incomplete whether it’s the endzone or not.

He means if you make the catch with 2 feet inbounds like he did, and then "drop it" like he did in the picture, and you do in bounds, it is a catch and has been called that way.
Catch =/= completing the process. You can’t drop a ball without catching it first. Science 101.

Catch rules have been changed and say the Dez catch and Megatron is a catch in todays world, not back then. And very similar plays have definitely ruled catches in bounds while not fully completing the catch.

It's just the idea is that there will never be a definitive rule of what a catch is because it changes and used subjectively.

Dez and Megatron completed the process of the catch then lost the ball on their own accord. Chase got the ball stripped out of his hands as his body went down.

He had possession after the strip with 2 feet in bounds. I know he loses possession, but that's been called a catch this year recently, in bounds.

It's sad.

K1 is more physically talented than Hurts but Hurts is more mentality talented.

Bottom line - Hurts is BY FAR the better player and its not even close.

I would like to see what Shane Steichen could do with K1.
Respectfully disagree. Has Hurts played better THIS year? Undeniably yes. But, that has more to do with circumstances & the team around him. The Eagles organization built a team around his skills. They have an IDENTITY. Did the Cardinal team even attempt to do that for Murray. Absolutely not. If they switched teams, Murray would look like the star, and Hurts would struggle big time. Hurts drops back & literally has all day to survey the field. Until this year, he struggled mightily because he was under more pressure. If he saw the pressure that Murray consistently has seen for 4 years, he might be a backup. Coaching & the Organization you play for has a TON to do with how much success a QB has in the NFL. The Cardinals have done no favors for Kyler Murray in that respect. Hoping that MO is successful in developing an identity for this organization, because if he doesn’t, it won’t matter who our QB is. We’ll be the same old Cardinals, mostly losers, with very short term stretches of moderate success. But no SB’s to speak of.

I would agree, they can't stop the run properly and can't crush the passing lanes consistantly and keep burrow in check.

This game is probably over now.
Yep, looking like it's getting too far outta hand for them to mount a comeback
