All speculation. Two first round picks and additional picks/players is likely good enough. The Texans didn't even get what they wanted for Watson. 

Just my opinion: any GM willing to trade three first round picks for Murray is foolish. 

 

I hate trading picks but if it was only 2 firsts I’d do it in a heartbeat. Also would be nice if Arizona would take Darnold.

If Mara has any credibility, Giants are committed to their quarterback for this year. Murray wants Arizona to pay him. 

He's only in his starting his 4th year of his rookie deal.  He wants a new contract now but Arizona has no obligation to pay him for what he want.  

He wants big bucks and we aren't in any position to increase our QB room with another outrageous contract.   

He won't be a Panther

It would most likely be in the range of the Russel Wilson trade. The Saints dont have the ammo if they are using their 1sts this year. Arizona doesnt want that.

Two 1sts AND paying him like a top 5 QB. The fact that Arizona seems to be balking on paying him has me balking on whether it would be a good idea to both trade for him AND pay him.

Rather than parroting the whole, "he doesn't watch film" as a problem with Murray, I used the Googlebox to see where that even came from. Turns out it's from here:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/23/sports/football/kyler-murray.html

Other gems from the article include:

“I knew what I wanted to do in my life,” Murray said. “In order to get there, going out and doing drugs, none of that was for me. I’ve never smoked in my life. I want to be the greatest to ever play. That’s always been my mentality.”

"Probing deeper into that mentality, one M.L.B. team, while scouting him heading into the draft, developed a psychological profile. The results revealed traits that signified an elite mental makeup: intense competitiveness and both an inability to understand losing and cope with it."

“Kyler doesn’t have the ability to be empathetic out there. If you don’t want to win, if you don’t want to compete, he literally doesn’t understand it. It doesn’t compute in his brain.”

There's tons of other points in the article, which while it may be a bit of a puff piece, tells me for sure that if he's available, you go get him today. 

Then again, as Panther fans, we're used to "aw, shucks, better luck next time". Win or else might turn us off.

If Murray is available, you go get him.  It really is the only light you can see at the end of the QB tunnel for the foreseeable future, seeing as how we have backed ourselves into this corner...  say what you want, but he's a proven winner and producer in the NFL at an elite level.  He's a known commodity, and as the stats bear out, its a total crap shoot with drafting QBs high and hoping they become Murray, with teams more often than not whiffing big time.

It would fix our biggest issue and is a lot easier to build around once you have that proven guy in there versus what we're trying to do now in building all of the pieces first and then hoping you happen upon some miracle like Seattle did with Russ.  Even guys like Jimmy G and Mayfield are not exciting because we know they're those middling type guys who are just good enough to QB teams to the playoffs but not good enough to get them over the top...  so until we find an elite talent there, we know we'll be spinning our wheels for awhile.

People wanted to trade significantly more for someone who might not even play next season. Totally reasonable to want to trade for a franchise QB. You eventually have to pay a franchise QB regardless.

      The issue is the position Bryce plays. Finding a good/great quarterback isn't easy. Plus, it sometimes takes years for these guys to actually become good/great. What you have to look for is progress instead of regression. Bryce has shown that. Can he put it all together? We don't know yet. But that's why you place a smaller bet with the 5th year option, and wait to see. You could be wrong and lose your 30 mil bet, but you didn't hitch your wagon long-term and lose much more.

      Absolutely not. That’s too much for replacement level player. Bryce may be that. Or he may turn into something more. If you can’t see the flashes, you’re willfully blind. There’s more bad than good right now, but there’s less bad than there was earlier in his career. He’s only 24 and he’s showing signs of improvement. He may never become consistent enough to justify a long term contract, but he’s shown enough to roll the dice on what effectively will turn into a 2 year, $30MM contract for the next two years to see if he can earn something longer.    Sure, in his one season starting, Howell managed to throw for 3,946 yards and toss 21 TDs, but it took throwing the ball an astounding 612 times. He also threw 21 INTs (for a particularly egregious 3.4 INT%). For all the talk of him being a deep ball thrower, he still only averaged 6.4 YPA, with an average air yards of 5.6 yards per attempt. And for all the excuses of Washington’s line giving him no protection (65 sacks taken that year), he was only pressured on 22.7% of his dropbacks, which is a few percentage points lower than what Bryce has had to deal with each year (24.2, 26.7, and 24.0%).    These are all numbers that are at best roughly equivalent to Bryce’s production the past two years. It’s wild to me people can claim so confidently that he’s a better QB.
