You could win some real trivia with these nuggets. I lose sight of all this with the late season slides.

Murray became the first player in NFL history with 70 or more passing touchdowns and 20 or more rushing touchdowns in his first three seasons.

His 66.86 completion percentage is the best in league history in a player’s first three years.

His 1,057 completions are the second-most in league history in a player’s first three seasons.

Yeah, he sucks.

 

[Cardsmasochist]

I think Murray is great. I was hoping that he could be as durable as Russell Wilson but that’s far from the case. Right now I want to see him complete a full season healthy. And not pout on the sidelines.

Especially since he is not a check down guy. He routinely passes up the check down to sling the ball down the field.

Not sure what point you are trying to prove. He matches up favorably to pretty much everyone on that list. You have to factor in play calling as well since just about every throw to Rondale meets that criteria.

It will really only matter if he doesn't end up as a trivia answer prefaced with "Name the only player not to win a Super Bowl that..."

that looks, very roughly, like the offense overdoses on behind LOS throws at the expense of short throws -- but then gets more deeper throws

the Herbert numbers kinda surprised me too
