From the article

If Kevin O'Connell thought Murray was his Week 1 starter, then he's doing his player a massive disservice right now. Competition isn't going to bring out the best in Kyler right now; reps will. Murray's learning curve is too steep to waste any opportunity to get him up to speed on a phony quarterback battle.

O'Connell prioritizes Murray's reps over QB competition to accelerate learning curve.

O'Connell emphasized that Murray's learning curve is too steep to waste opportunities on a phony quarterback battle; competition won't bring out his best right now—reps will. The coach is prioritizing Murray's development over protecting McCarthy's feelings or placating media, indicating Murray is the intended Week 1 starter but needs significant work to get up to speed in the offense.
