"I have one concern: Will you be able to get Kyler Murray to play on schedule and to fall in love with the boring?" Schlereth said on the Sept. 7 edition of "The OG Football Show." "Because Kyler Murray has told me in a one-on-one production meeting, calling a game, 'Yeah, I just want to run more. I want to make more plays. I want to get outside the pocket more.' ... But when you play kind of 50-50, off schedule, on schedule, more mistakes happen eventually, inevitably, than big plays, and that's Kyler Murray's biggest problem in my mind."

Schlereth: Murray's preference for off-schedule play over boring fundamentals is his biggest problem.

NFL Green Bay. The Vikings Mark Schlereth has a key concern about Murray's ability to play on schedule and embrace the fundamentals; Schlereth notes that Murray has expressed a preference for running and making plays outside the pocket rather than staying on schedule. Schlereth argues that to be elite in the league, 70 percent of the time a QB must play on schedule and do the boring work, taking what's given before breaking down plays. When QBs play 50-50 off-schedule versus on-schedule, more mistakes happen than big plays, and Schlereth identifies this as Murray's biggest problem.
