There was a bio of Murray a couple weeks ago in the NY Times (yes, I know—not a great sports page), in which he was quoted as bragging about not liking to watch tape or prepare. He just goes out and “feels” the game. I pretty much threw him away then, and I think that it has been showing. I’ve watched a couple games of his down the stretch and now that I know he doesn’t prepare, their offense always seems…unprepared.

If there is one position in one sport that requires tape and preparation its NFL quarterback.

Didn't see the article but not a good look.

Certainly looks like he didn't watch any tape the way it's going tonight.

That was surprisingly conservative.

Rams had it on the 40 something. Go win the game there.

I mean they aren’t going to blow a 21 point lead. Probably. But go win the game.

Dallas made this Cardinals team look like the one that went to the Super Bowl a few weeks ago and really signaled their future doom.

Here:
Murray does not watch much game film. He tends to hold the ball outstretched when he runs, anathema to every coach who has instructed him not to (to which Murray has said, “When they get close, I’ll tuck it”). He is the rare person who didn’t have to adjust his behavior during the pandemic because he preferred hanging out at home anyway. His coach, Kliff Kingsbury, calls him “an introverted cat.” Murray favors the term “low-key.”
…
“I think I was blessed with the cognitive skills to just go out there and just see it before it happens,” Murray said. “I’m not one of those guys that’s going to sit there and kill myself watching film. I don’t sit there for 24 hours and break down this team and that team and watch every game because, in my head, I see so much.”

Apparently prefers to play Call of Duty as his preparation.

He sounds like Kyrie if Kyrie had a point and could stay on topic. Stupid and full of himself, but focused on an actual point

the kind of franchise quarterback a really good coach is going to dump for the backup

The irony is that the whole article is about his supreme talent. He compares himself to Russell Wilson. And Ronaldo. Says he’d master soccer in four or five years if he started now, or something. And he doesn’t like to prepare.

Hard. Pass.
