For those who are extremely upset about Bidwill’s and Keim’s decision to draft QB
Kyler Murray, yes, it does make the Cardinals look foolish to spend all of the draft capital and money on two 1st round QBs back to back.
Your frustration right now is completely understandable.
However, greatness in professional sports today begins and ends with the players who touch the ball the most. And today, more than ever, teams are coveting speed and creativity. In baseball, the best pitchers can bring the heat, but also command the strike zone with curve balls and sliders. In basketball, the best point guards are the ones who can beat their man off the dribble and then be able to score or drop a dime to an open teammate. These days, in the NFL, coaches are turning to speedy, elusive and imaginative QBs who can drop dimes from the pocket and yet who can turn broken plays into Sports Center highlights.

Kyler Murray last night, they courageouly gambled on greatness.
Kyler Murray is a Houdini in cleats, who boasts the arm of a pitching ace and the creativity of an All-Star point guard.
