I wish we'd just send a mid-round pick next year to Philly for Minshew and get it over with. Stop this desperation to bet the franchise on a cast off.  Hell, that's what I wanted to do last year. Either trade for Minshew or sign Trubisky. Then I would've still drafted Fields and not felt any pressure to play him too early.

I doubt there is any serious interest in Minshew. We could have had him multiple times and didn't get him, so I suspect we just aren't interested.

Probably not. He's actually played serviceable football in the past and should come cheap. We prefer overpaying for straight trash.

It kind of amazes me that we wouldn't be interested in someone line Minshew just to upgrade our #2 QB(and yes I realize he would be a #1 with out current roster).

That's actually somewhat as perplexing as the lack of ability to find a good #1 QB. Quality backup QB's should be easier to obtain, but we haven't put any effort into that at all.

Tepper is too busy buying the equivalent of QB penny stocks for premium prices. 😂

WTF. Did I miss that? When did he say that?

Someone had it in one of the Murray threads a while back. I forget where it came from but I remember thinking it was a legit source (Cardinals beat writer from somewhere probably).

And honestly, the fact that he's as physically talented as he is and is arguably the ideal fit for their system (handpicked by the coach) yet the team still isn't sure they wanna commit to him counts as one of those things that make you go "hmmm" 🤔

Eh....they also might not be a smart franchise too. There is that.

FYI: Found the comments in question...

The stuff about Murray not watching or "grinding" film come from a New York Times profile. He basically feels he doesn't need to "kill himself" watching film because he can just go out on the field and "see stuff".

Excerpts:

From the start, he has unapologetically refused to conform, either to football doctrine or to the perceptions of how a quarterback should act, look and lead.

...

Murray does not watch much game film. He tends to hold the ball outstretched when he runs, anathema to every coach who has instructed him not to (to which Murray has said, “When they get close, I’ll tuck it”).

...

“I think I was blessed with the cognitive skills to just go out there and just see it before it happens,” Murray said. “I’m not one of those guys that’s going to sit there and kill myself watching film. I don’t sit there for 24 hours and break down this team and that team and watch every game because, in my head, I see so much.”

Link: Inside the Mind of Kyler Murray

So essentially, Murray is the smart kid in class who feels like he doesn't need to work all that hard because he's so smart.

Probably worth pointing out that didn't go so well in the playoffs.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
