Kyler Murray 2021 Outlook
At times last season, the Cardinals looked like one of the highest-powered offenses in the league. But after scoring 30-plus points in six of their first nine games, Arizona was only able to hit that mark once in their final seven contests en route to a disappointing 8-8 finish. Owner Michael Bidwill believes, in addition to making good moves in free agency and the draft, Murray's growth will be vital to the team's improvement in 2021. "We really want to see that next level," Bidwill said. "I fully expect [improvement], and I know he expects the same." Bidwell also made it clear HC Kliff Kingsbury needs to do more to help Murray get there. ... Murray suffered a shoulder/arm injury against the Dolphins in Week 9 (an injury he aggravated against the Seahawks in Week 11), but Murray fought through it, managing to start all 16 games. And the injury did nothing to keep him from unleashing a throw for the ages, a game-winning Hail Mary against the Bills in Week 10. An improved offensive line could help Murray this fall as the team tries to adapt to the retirement of Larry Fitzgerald with free-agent addition A.J. Green and rookie Rondale Moore, who will join DeAndre Hopkins and Christian Kirk atop the receiving rotation.
Kyler Murray 2020 Outlook
The No. 1 overall pick laid claim to 2019 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors, and lived up to the hype that prompted Arizona to deal former first-round pick Josh Rosen last offseason. Murray’s unique skills flourished under first-year HC Kliff Kingsbury, and Murray led all rookies in completions and passing yards. His 349 completions were the third-most by a rookie in NFL history. In addition to the solid passing totals, Murray added 544 rushing yards and four running scores. The rookie's dazzling play was especially impressive behind an offensive line that struggled at times. Murray was sacked 48 times, tied for most in the NFL with Matt Ryan, and that number could have been even higher if not for the young QB's quick trigger and improved escapability as the season wore on. Looking forward, there’s reason to expect even more. As ESPN's Mike Clay noted, after scoring two or fewer offensive touchdowns during their first five games, the Cardinals' offense managed at least three touchdowns in eight of Arizona's final 11 games last season. The Cardinals scored 53 percent of their touchdowns through the air, but play calling suggests it should've been closer to 63 percent. Murray's enhanced play down the stretch leaves him as a solid QB1 with upside heading into his second season as a pro.
Kyler Murray 2019 Outlook
New HC Kliff Kingsbury decided to bring in "his quarterback" rather than work with Arizona’s 2018 first-round pick Josh Rosen. It's understandable. As NFL.com suggested, coaching in the NFL is difficult enough without passing up a quarterback you believe in. According to the Boston Globe's Jim McBride, Murray’s mix of arm strength and nimbleness should wipe out a lot of the doubt about whether he can survive and thrive in the spread-heavy NFL, where coordinators can tailor offenses -- and specific weekly game plans (expect a Patriots’-like approach from Kingsbury in that regard) -- to suit the skills of their signal caller. McBride added that Murray is a master at moving the pocket and manipulating defenses to find passing lanes and deliver darts all over the field. His athleticism is so elite that it might be logical to project him at a number of positions, but that’d be wrong, according to ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. “He’s a quarterback. No doubt about it,” Kiper said. “His arm strength, his accuracy, his football IQ -- today’s NFL suits him perfectly. ..." The Cardinals, who also loaded up on WRs after picking Murray, are banking on it. Fantasy owners looking for upside in their QB2 will find it here.
