He could have been another Ricky Henderson for the A's. Or a fourth outfielder. 

Just imagine, he could be in Double-A right now if he just stuck with baseball!

I can't wait until I can bump this thread again when Kyler signs a contract extension this offseason that pays him more than Mike Trout. 

He made a good choice.

My ex-wife was listed at 5'1 but probably topped out at 4'11. Didn't have great "stuff" but her mound presence was HoF worthy

i'm interested in hearing more.

Me. And I think he's super talented college QB, but he is just too small to play in the NFL. He makes Russell Wilson and Baker Mayfield look tall. And they're among the shortest in the league.

As a basbeall player, he plays OF, but looks so small to me. Here he is next to Baker Mayfield who is just 6'. And Baker is bending down further. Scouts say he isn't close to 5'10, so maybe he's 5'9, but a 5'9" QB is not going to be a 1st round pick.

He should stick to baseball.

A team source told SNY's Ralph Vacchiano that Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray is "probably a little too small" for the Giants.

The Giants "prefer toGod stick to the established measurables they have for a prototypical quarterback," Vacchiano notes. The Giants' organization emphasizes conventional wisdom and inside-the-box thinking, and they haven't started a quarterback that measures below 6-feet since 5-foot-11 Gary Wood went 0-6 in 1966. And "the philosophy hasn't changed all that much (in that over half-century timeframe)," Vacchiano confirms. 6-foot-3 Dwayne Haskins, 6-foot-4 Drew Lock, and 6-foot-5 Daniel Jones appear to be likelier candidates to succeed 6-foot-4 Eli Manning than 5-foot-9 Murray.

Good thing the Giants drafted Danny Dimes.  Seems to be working well for them.

at this point i think i have to say its more like lol Cardinals... methinks this will not end well for him, his coach, or his GM... and of course the team itself.

Man, the wrong that that was flowing through this thread....

Murray's playing against the Rams a couple weeks ago was the best single game performance I've seen in the NFL this year.  He toyed with the Rams.

btw Lou, the last thing I want to do is blow smoke up your ass, but you frigging nailed it pre-draft on Kyler Murray as a qb.

lol - the board is actually worse at NFL scouting than baseball prognosticating.

Jerad Goff is pretty tall.

While it seems to make total sense that they will institute the air raid offense, by having Kingsbury coaching them, the air raid offense is really meant for offenses that don’t have a lot of physicality, college offenses like Texas Tech and NOT pro offenses.

I agree.

Ah yes the yk 100% hindsight redux... takes a special person to literally live for this shit.
I was wrong in this case, ill own that, happy?

What can I say, he’s been talented but it’s not the norm. And I doubt he’s gonna have a career like Brees, but who knows at this point.

But we never got to the bottom of the most important issue.

 

 

 

 

Exactly how tall is he?

The Cardinals have run more rushing plays than they have passing plays.

I was going to say that having Murray keeping the ball doesn’t hurt, but he’s only carried it 43 times in 7 games for 3 yards/carry.

He’s completed some 3/4 of his passes, which doesn’t hurt their running game.   Averages 286 passing yards/game, with 17 TDs/only 5 INTs.

That's an interesting stat, i thought it would be more.  I wonder if sacks count as rushing, etc.  It's hard for me to believe he ran 7 designed rushing plays against the 49ers, for one yard.  Maybe so.
