The spin on Bosa was certainly a play he could have stepped up and picked up yards. The play were Hufnaga(sp) although not a spin was a play he could have split the wide angle and got yards.
Again not end all be all but his PFF grade and QBR (when healthy)were higher last year. And I think part of that is because he's not making teams pay with his legs as much. Again the attempts being down is fine, but some of his runs have just been bad (again not all him as the run blocking hasnt been there either).
I think part of that is Kyler telling Kliff to cut that out of the playbook some. These stalled drives (against physical Cleveland/49ers) could be helped a bit with Kyler more in the run. Either design or sensing pressure quickly and getting out of there.
The obvous great thing is that he's improved as a passer and throwing on the run. Just saying if he can be dynamic with his legs on timely plays he'd be at MVP Mahomes or MVP Lamar level imo. Even Mahomes has 68 yards more rushing that Kyler. Thats just not something you'd expect.
Kyler is awesome, lol. Just noting what might be the thing that elevates him from top 5 play to the top guy play.
do you want 5 year Kyler?
or
do you want 15 year Kyler??
This aint college ball where the starter is going to change in a year or two anyway. This is the NFL and he has to think of the future as well as the game he is in.
Im fine if he never gets more than a 100 yards rushing in a season.... he should be using his legs to get away from pressure so he has time to pass the ball.
obviously if he breaks out of the pocket and had thirty yards of open field in front of him, then yeah....take that and run out of bounds when a defender gets close. But if kliff is smart, he never calls another designed QB run again.
we drafted a franchise QB once.... Timm Rosenbach I think it was...dude was nails, the future looked bright.... but he got hurt in a game... when he healed up he retired from football and decided to become a pro bull rider..... said bull riding was safer than playing QB and he had a family to think about...... then thirty years later we drafted Kyler Murray
I dont want to have to wait another thirty years... I dont want Kyler Murray for a few great years.
I want to be an old man bitching on a message board because at 37 years old Kyler cant escape from the rush as well as he used to and we aint gonna win any more championships if he keeps playing like this.
This aint high school ball....it aint college ball...and it aint Madden....an NFL quarterbacks job is to read the defense and then get the ball to the team mate with the best opportunity to exploit the weakness he sees in that defense.
opportunities present themselves and when they do Kyler can exploit them...hell, I once watched steve bono run like a 75 yard touchdown right up the middle of the field...and he ran a forty in the 6 second range
