Kyler Murray "Leaps And Bounds Ahead" Of Last Year

Kyler Murray "Leaps And Bounds Ahead" Of Last Year

3 months ago

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that quarterback Kyler Murray is "leaps and bounds ahead" of last year. Murray was forced to miss the first half of the 2023 season while recovering from a torn ACL. The Cardinals went 1-8 without him and 3-5 in games he started. This summer has been smooth sailing for Murray, and Gannon said this week that the ability to focus on football is a good thing for the quarterback. Fortunately for the Murray believers out there, he showcased no significant ill side-effects of the ACL injury regarding his efficiency as a ball-carrier. His 5.55 yards per carry over his eight games last season aligns with his career average of 5.8. The emergence of tight end Trey McBride as a plus-level pass-catching option and the offseason acquisition of rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. to Arizona's offense should provide Murray with two competent go-to choices in the passing game. Between the belief in the coaching staff and a pair of high-level playmakers, Murray is an intelligent middle-round target to aim for to fill your QB roster spot.
