    When Kyler Murray catches fire he plays like a Top-2 NFL Quarterback.
    And when he's dialed in (which is what he seems to be this season) he can make a Bottom-Dweller perform like a Wildcarder.
    Plus, he's exciting (ie, a ticket-seller).
    If a Franchise has any doubts as to whether he's a Franchise QB then that Franchise needs to check its Franchise management.

      Cards are 3-2 since Kyler came back, with wins vs ATL, @PIT, and @PHI. They were competitive in a loss at Houston with a healthy CJ Stroud and Tank Dell, and lost to the 49ers but put up 29 points. And this is with a below average skill position group and an awful defense. Get Kyler one of MHJ, Rome Odunze, or Malik Nabers with one pick, and then get either the Georgia or Alabama OT or one of the Alabama defensive players like Turner or McKinstry. Cards will be a double digit win team next year.

    It's a bit strange that year after year there seems to be so much redundant conversation of QB's in an organized team sport. Coaching has an impact of unlocking and hindering a player's potential and so do the pieces around them. Look at the Chiefs struggles without Hill and Bieniemy. Look at the Eagles struggles without Steichen and Gannon. If Gannon is having success with Murray why should they start over instead of just adding pieces to surround him?

    I absolutely loved what Chris just said. G Ms are too reliant on QBs and if they ain't a super star straight away they look for the next. How many 1st in the draft win Superbowls. I bet it's not many. The greatest QBs come from late 1st round and beyond. I think generally their with good organizations. Maybe being first in the draft is a curse?.

      Murray is an elite QB he just hasn’t any weapons really the last two years and the team crumbled around him last season due to injuries.
      Murray was a 2x Pro Bowler in his first 3 years playing at an mvp level last time he had real talent in 20/2021. This year he has nothing around him and he’s winning. Get him some real talent and he’ll be back in the pro bowl and they’ll be in the playoffs.

But in today's instant gratification atmosphere in sports, no franchise seems to have the luxury of taking time to build something. Hell, Eagles fans are already calling for Hurts to be taken out in the desert and abandoned and the entire coaching staff fired. (And they legit still could get hot in the playoffs and win it all) Fans are obsessed with minute to minute perfection and their overly amplified voices on social media have made the NFL worse.

    100% disagree... What has Kyler done ? He's had 5 Years... He's NEVER thrown for over 4K... He's never thrown over 26 TDs. Justin Fields... what has he done in THREE Years ? NOTHING... He hasn't thrown for over 2500 Yards or 18 TDS. ENOUGH with pushing these Black QBS that can RUN. Ughhhh If I was a Cardinal or Bears fan... YUCK first of all... Secondly I'd be furious if we had such a high draft pick and didn't roll the dice on a NEW QB. You trade Kyler or Feilds get a high draft pick in this draft to help build and just roll the dice again. I see Chris's point... like Buffalow shouldn't have given up on Allen.... Green Bay shouldn't give up on Love.... But I'd say we've seen enough of of Young to know he's a BUST.. yes just ONE Year. Carolina would be stupid if they can take another shot and don't.
