Six takeaways from day one of Cards Camp 2019
#1. Kyler Murray made some jaw-dropping throws
Murray was the top story of the day, and there’s no other story that maybe matter so much. But it’s not even the fact of what Murray’s done in seizing the starting QB job as a rookie but HOW he’s doing it.
He’s showing off that he has all of these traits.
-Accuracy
-Velocity
-Touch
-Timing
-Rapid reading & quick decisions in his offense.
What a talent. It’s almost too much to ask for, as some have pointed out:
He didn’t come close to turning the ball over and seemed in total command of the offense like a true 10 year veteran. And, I mean, he has spent almost 8 years in this specific type of offense that Kliff Kingsbury runs but it’s still something to marvel at some of the sheer throws he’s making.
One such bullet when he saw a wide open
Christian Kirk went so fast from Murray in the pocket to
Kirk’s hands perfectly placed some 40 yards away it was like it was teleported. He’s got a heck of an arm but it’s where the ball ends up that’s most impressive. I do think he’s probably the most talented QB the Cardinals have ever had and that’s not an exaggeration.
It’ll be a story to follow, maybe the top story in the NFL this season should Murray explode offensively in the pros. He’s got legit superstar potential and you can’t say that about just any QB in the NFL.
