Daily Norseman on Kyler Murray

Murray upgrade drives 3-game win total increase; career year upside with elite Vikings supporting cast.

The source expects Kyler Murray to be a significant upgrade at quarterback for the Vikings, warranting a three-game adjustment to the team's win total (from 8.5 to 12-5). There is nearly universal expectation that Murray will improve over Sam Darnold's 2024 QBR performance. An upside scenario exists where Murray, playing with the Vikings' top-five defense, solid offensive line, top-tier receiver group, and improved run game—plus facing the easiest schedule in terms of pass defenses this season—could have a career year and rank in the top ten at quarterback. This would be Murray's best team situation to date.
