Kyler Murray is set to start his seventh year in the NFL. However, many believe that the 2019 NFL Draft overall first-round pick hasn’t lived up to his potential.
While many suspected the Arizona Cardinals of potentially moving away from Murray, owner Michael Bidwill’s comments surprised fans.
Fans Are Not on the Same Page as Michael Bidwill Concerning Kyler Murray
Last week, Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort unequivocally stated that he considers Murray among the players on the roster that need improvement. However, the owner is singing a different tune, suggesting a build-up around him.
In a recent interview with ArizonaSports.com, Bidwell highlighted his intention regarding the quarterback. “What he is a dual-threat quarterback,” he said. “When he’s healthy, he scares every defensive coordinator, and he has a chance to change the game with his feet and with his arm.”
“When you look at it, we’ve got to continue to rely on him, and he’s got to play at a high level. He knows that. He’s working hard – He needs to take the next step, and we’re excited about our future with Kyler. He’s a great quarterback. I think we need to continue to build around that offense for him.”
Bidwell’s comments did not go down well with NFL fans on Reddit. They pointed out errors with this mindset, with Murray and the owner himself.
“One of the most overrated QBs in the game,” replied one fan.

“At some point Kyler Murray is going to have to step up, this is year seven now and he’s on his second contract. He’s yet to win a playoff game, and the one playoff game he played in, he was horrible,” posted a fan.
“Every season building around Kyler Murray is a season wasted,” added another fan.
