Can the Cardinals get where they want to be with Kyler Murray?

I'm asking. He'll turn 28 years old in August, not old by any stretch. When you look at his stats yearly and overall from a clinical observation, they aren't bad. But when you do a deeper dive, where is he coming up big in games? Is he the type of player that can win it all for Arizona? IMO he's not. How much longer do the Cardinals hang in there with him before pivoting to a drafted QB? He has his good moments, no doubt, but are there enough game-winning moments?

Its much more common to BE in No Man's Land, really....many teams are to one respect or another. But if you can win or get to a Superbowl with guys like Jared Goff, Brock Purdy, etc. its more open than you think. Interesting story here:

Bottom line: its really hard to win a Superbowl. And its even harder to go BACK to a Superbowl after being there. McCarthy will have his chance, the key is to be talented enough that you can get to a NFCC game several times. Help win games in crunch time. Its way more important than having Dan Marino stats every season.

If JJM doesn't pan out I think the Vikings will always find a QB who's careers need resurrecting. Eventually one of those guys will take a little less to actually get more.



This is exactly how I feel. Its the last thing I want to have happen is JJM not pan out and I believe that he will, but I think there'll always be a talented QB that will want to enroll in KOC University.

But this is part of WHY I don't think we'll have any worries with McCarthy:

I think that when Murray does what he does this year, which is disappoint, the Cardinals grab a QB in the first 2 rounds next year in what looks to be a great QB Draft.
