It’s OK to mention Murray by name here. It won’t hurt my feelings one bit. Gannon seems to believe in Kyler or he wouldn’t have taken this gig. And we’ll find out soon enough how long this honeymoon between the two will last. Doesn’t take an Einstein to realize that it was impossible because of KM’s contract to even consider giving up on Murray. If Murray isn’t the answer, he’ll be gone in 2 years. It’s that simple. My money is on him proving otherwise. What we don’t know is if he can stay healthy. Even I can’t predict that.
Good to know that he's up front and center as a liability.
Eh, Ganon was offered a HC job and given an opportunity to bring in his guys. Sure he may like Murray, but it would be silly to think he's tied to him in any way and came here specifically for him, a semi unproven, oft injured QB that's now going to take a huge cap hit at the start of his rebuild.
Sure we can't dump him this year, but if we really are going for scorched earth rebuild, keeping him is not the way to go. He won't prove his worth in a down year coming from ACL injury, so then we gotta wait another year, and maybe we do "okay" and get a 10-15 pick the following year (2025) and out of reach for a QB.
But depending on where we draft next year, and if we get top 2, it would be a major blunder to not take a top QB and start over.
