Perspective: The Cardinals don’t trust Kyler Murray, so how can Murray trust the Cardinals?
to that short-lived homework clause as the source of their frustration, but it won’t mask the real problems. The Cardinals do not trust their quarterback. Murray cannot trust a franchise that would insult him like that. And on the field, no one can trust this team because, under Coach Kliff Kingsbury, it has played its worst during the most important times.a year later, General Manager Steve Keim thought he was creating alignment with a team built around a creative and potent offense.
“Obviously, the Black quarterback has had to battle to be in this position that we are, to have this many guys in the league playing,” Mahomesafter he was referred to as playing “streetball” in an anonymous quote. “Every day, we’re proving that we should have been playing the whole time. We’ve got guys that can think just as well as they can use their athleticism. It’s always weird when you see guys like me, Lamar, Kyler kind of get that on them when other guys don’t.
It leaves a sense that Murray knows he has some maturing to do. Which is not an indictment at his age. When reporters asked if he was mad the Cardinals included the addendum, he didn’t comment. So he was very mad. But with an offer that guaranteed him more than $100 million, he opted for pragmatism over emotion.After the news got out, though, Arizona looked much worse than Murray.
Good try with that boilerplate defense. The commitment reflected in that contract is one that any other team in Arizona’s situation would have offered Murray. At 24, he’s a top-10 NFL quarterback. If he were available in an open market, three-fourths of the league would stampede to pay him nine figures. The contract is smart business, for asset protection if nothing else.
For Murray and Arizona, confidence in each other is priceless. It will require a lot more work. Six more years of this partnership feels more like a dare right now. Never has the contract extension of a quarterback prodigy seemed so glum.
