Kyler Murray is a Big Ol' Pouty Baby
Suspected child and Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is now going to holdout until he gets a new contract extension. This offseason temper tantrum has got to a boiling point, Kliff Kingsbury should really get him a tall glass of warm milk.
It’s only been two months since Murray deleted all his Instagram posts involving the Cardinals and unfollowed the team on all platforms. Which is a bitch move by the way, it almost makes me respect Antonio Brown because at least he’s upfront about being pissed off.
Around that same time it got leaked Murray is a pretty shitty teammate. Does a lot of finger pointing, and pouting when the Cardinals are losing. Now he wants to get paid like a big boy.
Murray’s agent released a statement that he has sent a contract offer with, “elite franchise QB money.” Which I assume means it's a 4-5 year contract around 40-45 million a year.
Now I like watching Kyler Murray play, but there is no way in hell he is worth that much. He’s never had a 4k yard season, had double digit interceptions every year in his career, and the poor little fella always seems to get hurt.
Because Kyler gets hurt so often he usually fades down the stretch of the season. Last year in his first eight games he averaged a 109.2 QB rating, while dropping to a 82.8 the last six games. That drop isn’t even including his abysmal performance in the Wild Card game.
I watched a replay of the game and it was even worse than I remember. He was missing open receivers and trying to force passes that weren’t there. It was… sad.
After all his shortcomings he still wants to get paid like an elite guy, but his attitude this offseason isn’t exactly helping his case.
If all hell breaks loose and he doesn’t play another game in a Cards uniform, what are the odds that his new team wants to pay an oft injured undersized QB 40 mil a year? He can be electric at times, but he needs to piece it all together if he wants to paid like that
Kyler, just take a shorter contract around 30 mil a year, and prove that you are what you think you’re worth because, right now, you’re not.
