Time to Shine for Kyler Murray! His Moment Is Here!
The Vikings will try to rewind the clock to 2019-21.
In four years on the job, Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell has worked with eight different starting quarterbacks. The ninth one could be the most intriguing. Kyler Murray arrives, seven years after entering the NFL as the No.
1 overall pick in the draft — and four years after the Cardinals permanently poisoned their relationship with him by jamming a homework clause into his second contract. He has more raw talent than any of the others with whom O'Connell has worked. Yes, there are flaws.
His height, for starters. It's far below prototypical, and it creates a real challenge when it comes to seeing through the wall of humanity in front of him. It's the kind of obstacle O'Connell will embrace, scheming plays to get Murray in position to spot the open targets and/or to make him trust what he can't visually acquire.
At times, it could be like flying a plane with just the instruments. Regardless, Murray can make the throws. He can buy time with his feet.
