The Kyler Murray is mediocre thread

[Cheesebeef]

He does that all of the time. His early interviews were way worse.

They are both being stupid though. Kyler had no problem telling Kliff when stuff wasn't working.

Every great QB chimes in.

I think you just made your point.

I feel this is a valid concern.

Kyler is a coach killer in the NFL

Kyler is a coach killer in the NFL

I agree from the perspective that what makes him special as a player is overrated IMO. And it is a bit of a coaching conundrum. You probably need to run him 8-10 times per game to maximize what makes him special. However, he is also physically small for the NFL which makes you look stupid if you run him that much and he gets injured. IMO, that is just the risk you have to take if Kyler is your QB and you want to get the most out of him.

I don't believe many coaches would go that route which minimizes his talent and why he can be considered a "coach killer".

Whew...I panicked and had to check what thread I was in.

You just summed up what I’ve been thinking about Kyler since he stopped being a major running asset like he was his first two years in the league where he rushed for over 1300 yards.

Since then, he’s rushed for around 440 yards per season. That’s just not special enough output if he’s also going to put up mediocre passing stats.

It's true and the big issue with every QB that relies on running to be successful. Either you have to be ridiculously tough and lucky with injuries, or that QB is marginalized.

Agree that if you have a QB like Lamar, Fields, Hurts, Richardson, Kyler, and Josh Allen it's just a risk you have to take.
