I only watched the first couple games of Murray, but he looks good and better than I expected. He's accurate, better than average reads, and has a leadership quality you can't teach. I'll be the first one to tell you that I'm glad he's proving me wrong on my concerns - his height getting in the way of reading the defense and making the throws he could at OU.Rosen:

@Francium
The Cards are still stupid for hiring Kliff. Kliff going after Murray made sense for his system, but I just don't see his scheme being sustainable in the league with ultra-athletes.
I don't think Rosen will be a journeyman like Keenum, but he's an archaic QB in the sense he needs an O-line to protect him in order to be effective. We all know that. He's got deja vu in miami - poor o-line, dropped TDs, etc. It may not be until year 3 or 4 when we can really assess either QBs.
I just hated to see Rosen shipped out after having a similar rookie year to Darnold and Allen, but on a worst team.
