The Vikings just need an average QB to win.
I have been hearing this for a couple of seasons. All the Vikings need is an average QB to win. If it is true, is Kyler Murray an average QB?
An average QB is defined as a game manager who avoids turnovers but rarely carries the offense.He distributes the ball to playmakers, protects the football, and relies on a balanced running game and defense, but needs a strong supporting cast to win. A team's O-line, scheme, and pass catchers heavily dictate whether an average QB is functional or struggles. So is Kyler Murray performing at the level of an average QB this year?
AVG.QB K. MURRAY WENTZ
NFL QB RANK 16th 19th N/A
PASSER RTNG. 85-90 85.8 22nd 106.4
QBR 50 45.8 25th 54.5
COMP. % 63-65 % 66.4% 11th 59%
YDS./Attempt 7.0-7.5 yds. 6.5 yds. 19th 7.1 yds.
TD/INT. 2:1 3:2 3:0
KM is performing a bit below average NFL QB standards so far. So is he responsible for the offensive dysfunction ? Or does his performance reflect a lack of a balanced running game due to the O-line or a scheme that doesn't support his strengths? We know the defense and pass catchers are top of the NFL.
