Understood, butIt's football, he's going to get hit and sometimes he's going to get hit hard. You can't always avoid hits.
You can avoid it a lot less than your counterparts.

Not yet. He will get creamed eventually. It's inevitable.
Sounds like you want it to happen more than anything.

I agree... he's good. Maybe even slightly above average. But, unlike JA I don't see Murray as someone that can become a complete pocket passer. To me Murray is Lamar Jackson 2.0, who was a Michael Vick 2.0; Murray is just a bit smaller. Once they figure him out, he will regress like Lamar has. Don't get me wrong, Lamar still plays at a high level but teams are understanding his game more and are able to defend him better and they will with Murray too. If you look at Jacksons stats, he has 7 less touchdowns to only 2 less picks than Josh. (JA 21 TDs to 7 INT's and Jackson has 14 TD's to 5 INT's) Not to mention Jackson also only has 3 rushing TD's to Josh's 5.
Josh on the other hand can be and is a complete pocket passer. He has pocket presence and awareness; sheds tackles and also has the escape-ability when needed to extend plays. I don't see Lamar or Kyler being able to become that prototypical "pocket" passer and personally, I think because of their size (more so with Kyler than Lamar) I don't think they have the durability to last beyond 5 maybe 6 years in the NFL.I don't think he's hesitant at all. I think he's trying to focus on his reads and getting the ball down field and trying to run it himself on only the designed plays for him to do that.
If you have watched Murray outside of last weeks game, you would realize he is the best QB at avoiding hits. His frame actually helps him considering he knows not to run through defenders like Josh, Cam, Wentz, Watson, Lamar, Dak, etc. He’ll be in the league for a very long time.

Exactly. I've seen Murray make opposing defenses look silly quite a few times this year. The kid can scoot, but it may also be what makes his career short lived, ala Robert Griffin.
Difference is Murray doesn’t openly take hits like Robert Griffin.

Only team in the NFC West you can pencil to make the playoffs is the Rams.
I know people are in love with Shanahan & the 9ers, but there is still a QB problem on there hands & while they have great talent like Kittle, Bosa, Trent, Deebo...that talent is injury prone. Shanahan is obviously a good HC, but even he can’t overcome without elite talent.
I think Seattle & Russ will have a rough marriage this season. On paper, I don’t even think they’re much better than AZ. We’ll see though.
