Daily Norseman on Kyler Murray
From the article
Kevin O'Connell announced that Carson Wentz will start on Monday night for the Minnesota Vikings, while Kyler Murray will be week-to-week with a hamstring strain. This can and should be interpreted as a ''soft-benching'... Murray still isn't comfortable or acclimated running the offense and that has led to missed opportunities.
STACKED’s take
Murray benched with hamstring strain; soft-benching due to offensive struggles and slow decision-making
Kevin O'Connell announced Carson Wentz will start Monday night while Murray is week-to-week with a hamstring strain; this is a soft-benching similar to J.J. McCarthy's situation last year. The Vikings offense remains anemic because Murray still isn't comfortable or acclimated running the offense, leading to missed opportunities. Murray is hesitant, more concerned about avoiding mistakes than making plays, and isn't progressing fast enough or getting the ball out quickly enough—a continuation of his season-long issue. For an experienced quarterback halfway through the season, this performance level isn't acceptable; the Vikings coaching staff appears to be losing confidence in him.
