Pride Of Detroit on Kyler Murray
From the article
Simple. It's the quarterback play. More specifically, it's Kyler Murray... Here's the thing: No, he's not. Over the past four games with Murray as the starter, the Vikings' offense has generated four touchdown drives.
STACKED’s take
Murray's poor fit in O'Connell's system is primary reason for Vikings' offensive collapse.
Kyler Murray's poor fit in Kevin O'Connell's offense is the primary reason for the Vikings' offensive underperformance. Despite preseason narrative that Murray would help push the ball downfield to Justin Jefferson and open up the offense, Christopher Gates argues Murray is not a good fit for O'Connell's system. Over four games with Murray as starter, the Vikings have generated only four touchdown drives total—fewer than some teams generate in a single game. In Week 7 against a Colts team missing its top three corners, Murray had 150 yards and the Vikings managed just one touchdown, with Jefferson held to 44 receiving yards before halftime. Gates states: "No, he's not" a good quarterback, and emphasizes that if the Vikings are to be a serious contender, Murray must turn things around dramatically.
