At this point, Murray is a luxury.... One that we may not even need. Kyler Murray is a fool for coming to OU for these reasons:
1) BAKER MAYFIELD
2) Mayfield's pending lawsuit to restore his lost year of eligibility.... He could get that back.
3) Cody Thomas is our second string QB. Murray and Thomas may be a push as far as ability, but Thomas has been in the system longer, so obviously, he has a leg up.
4) Incoming freshman Austin Kendall.... Yeah, he's a freshman, but check his HUDL. If he adapts quickly, he can easily pass Cody Thomas who hasn't shown much and couldn't take the job away from a TURRIBLE Trevor Knight.
Kyler Murray willl probably never play a meaningful snap at OU, barring mass injury problems.
I personally like the kid, but I don't want OU to become the home of failed QB(or WR) rejects that couldn't make it in the SEC and think that they'll become a Heisman potential, All-American QB.
Murray is not Mayfield.
ETA: After reviewing Murray's tape, I'll somewhat retract my previous statement on Murray's ability. If he can grasp the system, he could easily be the number two. That doesn't mean he will , though. However, Stoops will give him the opportunity to prove he's worthy of being the #2 QB, provided that he stays out of trouble and makes his grades.
My point about his playing time still stands. Very unlikely he plays.
