BillsFan4 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) Here’s his impromptu press conference: He seemed to kind of confirm that he doesn’t spend a lot of time watching film on his own with his “there’s multiple ways to watch film” comments, saying he likes watching film with other players on the team and that there are different ways to learn besides just watching film (at least that was my interpretation). Reports said that he watched film while at the facility but the issue was him studying the film on his own when he was away from the facility. I don’t see how there are multiple different ways to watch film on your own. You either sit and watch it or you don’t. unless he’s not really sitting and watching it… Maybe that’s why they put that clause in his contract about how he had to watch the film I distracted - that he couldn’t just have it playing in the background while he did other things.

Boss: Jauronimo we need to discuss your performance. You are clearly distracted during meetings and not putting in the extra time needed to excel in this position. We think it may be due to the amount of time you spend on a Buffalo Bills message board. J: If I wasn't working hard enough then why was I president of the math club back in JR high? This is laughable. You should have seen my grades in college. Boss: I don't see the relevance. J: I have worked hard my whole life because I am 6'1". Boss: WTF are you talking about? What does your height have to do with your work ethic? J: I no longer feel appreciated in this role and would like to discuss a pay raise at the soonest opportunity. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddick Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Murray's press conference was comic genius. From the "everything I've accomplished" start right down to the 'Easy' slogan on the tee. He really is a tiny turd of a man. There are few guys in the NFL I actively root to fail but this pouting Oompa Loompa has waddled up a high step ladder right to the top of my list 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToGoGo Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 The reason you know the Cardinals were correct is because Murray showed up to his "save face" press conference wearing an "Ea$y" shirt.

Disappointing. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34313366/specific-criticism-black-quarterbacks-weird Yeah, this is pretty ridiculous. It's not about race. Mahomes has been on a pedestal ever since he took over as QB1. His play has warranted that. He hasn't faced any kind of scrutiny because he's brown. Russell Wilson is as beloved as they come as well. With Kyler and Lamar, there are legitimate question marks. Lamar's passing ability and the ability to read defenses has been on display for 4 years now. Yes he won an MVP, but everyone sees it. A lot of his plays are improv, created by his legs, and he finds an open man when the play breaks down. He doesn't really sit in the pocket and pick defenses apart like Mahomes and Wilson. Lamar also struggles with throwing the ball outside of the hashes. With Kyler, it's mainly his attitude and apparently his off-the-field work ethic. If one of the greatest WR's, and most humble people to ever step on a football field in Larry Fitzgerald, make mention of someone's arrogance then I TRULY believe what comes out of his mouth. I have also seen Murray flat out throw his teammates under the bus in post game interviews. Multiple times. He's always trying to deflect blame from him or his play. Now we also have this situation with the contract clause. These things are not race driven, they are legitimate concerns that teams have about their $200M+ investments (even though Lamar hasn't gotten his $$$ just yet).

I thought there was a chance that could be reduced? Not seen anything in the last couple of weeks but the story I heard (I might garble this) was that the initial ban was for not only the PED but also the presence of a known masking agent to cover the PED. The second finding is now in dispute and so there was a suggestion it could be reduced to 3-4 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahomes was handed the keys to a finely-tuned offense and took full advantage of it, driving it to the next level Murray made one of the most egregious of bad decisions EVER, especially in a playoff game It's not like being criticized is unique to black QB. Josh Allen spent the first years of his career having his accuracy and decision making relentlessly questioned, to the point where it was comical watching TV broadcasts sometimes (how they would excuse bad decisions by the opposing QB and slam Allen for them). I do think black QB face a double standard at times, but why would the Cardinals even have put that clause IN Murray's contract if they didn't have some legit concerns, concerns in preparation and focus that perhaps came out on the field in that horrible display of headless-chicken-like meltdown decision making. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a very odd person who is "universally praised loved and worshipped" by all. Celebrities attract people who "feel big" if they put someone else down and I'm sure black celebrities attract racists too. Valid point that if Murray weren't making totally stupid decisions like in that playoff game and Lamar were producing at the same MVP level criticism would be less. But point they get the same criticism/skepticism that Carr, Tanny Cousins etc do AND an extra layer of race-directed critique above and beyond it. We see it with Lamar right on this board. I don't see the point in denying it or pretending it isn't there. Edited August 2, 2022 by Beck Water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
