dakrider Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Thats too bad. I think its getting to the point where every player should probably wear some sort of slip on semi knee brace or something to help reinforce the knees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Lamar will be next. I am wondering what effect this will have on QB salaries, if any. Stafford won a SB, Rodgers has lost a step and weapons, Watson, well too soon. Wilson, yikes who saw that coming? Lamar will get franchi$ed, maybe twice before moving on (like Cousins). Just another way of cashing big.

saundena Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) Hate to see injuries. They can happen to anybody at anytime. That said, if I'm the Cardinals owner, I might consider doing my very best to blow the whole thing up and start from scratch. Fire coach and GM, see about trading Murray (even if it means including picks/players based on his cap hit). Honestly, the Murray deal was stupid to begin with. It's almost as if fate intervened, giving ownership a difficult and uncomfortable way out of this mess. The short term pain of blowing everything up would be considerable, but keeping Murray, Kingsburry etc. is a losing scenario over the long term. Better to recognize the error now, deal with it at the expense of 2 bad seasons and emerge down as a potentially stronger team.

FLFan Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I am not sure the Cardinals are a bigger train wreck with or without Murray. They should be able to find a decent fill in this offseason and figure it out from there. It might be an opportunity to get some actual leadership at that position and an offensive design that can actually be executed. Then again, Kliff Kingsbury is an idiot, so there is that.

dma0034 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Outside of Lamar I can't see a QB having a torn ACL and it effects them more. He needs his legs to create throwing lanes. Not to take away from Murray but the Bills need to call on DHop asap next year imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I am not a fan of Murray as a QB, nor do I think he was worth the money he got even though I get why AZ had to do it. But I never like to see someone get hurt like this, so for that I feel bad for him. But, doesn't change my stance that I think he is mentally weak and afraid of contact when he plays on the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris heff Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I hope Murray has a speedy recovery, don’t wish injury on anyone (I have yelled “rip his head off!” occasionally, but that was directed at Brady). What happens to that franchise? Murray will be out most on next year and has a big long term contract. Kingsbury is signed through 2027. Do they eat his contract? What a mess.

msw2112 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) 3 hours ago, H2o said: He didn't lose his opportunity. His marriage to the Cardinals will last until at least 2026 because of that contract they handed him. I should clarify. He has lost his opportunity to PLAY from now until he is recovered from the ACL injury and back on the field. He certainly did not lose his opportunity to GET PAID. Even pre-injury, the contract the Cardinals game him was terrible, but they had backed themselves into a corner when they drafted him #1 and made him the leader and focal point of their team. You can't NOT pay your franchise QB and expect to have fans in the seats, but it was obvious to many (including me and many of our comrades on this board) that the return on this investment by the Cardinals was not going to be a good one. The team went all-in on Murray, Kingsbury and Kiem and will regret it for years to come. The Cardinals are an organization like the Bills used to be. Would it be diplomatic to use the term "clown show?" I can't state enough how happy I am that the Bills have competent management in place.

Punching Bag Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Good news is Murray will not need to spend time on playbook but can play video games all he wants.

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 6 hours ago, Utah John said: With the injury so late in the season, it's likely that Murray won't return until just before the 2023 playoffs. Which the Cardinals without him won't get to anyway. It'll be 2024 before he can play a full season. What a shame for him, the team, and the city. His lack of availability may lead them to bail on the 2023 season, shed some veteran salaries, and undertake a limited rebuild. I think they will need a better bridge QB than McCoy. There will be some QB's looking for a home next season, so AZ should have some options. Overall, it's a bad time to be a Cards fan. Things at a franchise can flip from promising to a dumpster fire at the blink of an eye. We all need to enjoy the Bills and their success because it can disappear quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 250 lbs, is knees are going to take a helluva lot more pounding than pip-squeak Kyler Murray. Every runner and NFL player can injure a knee on every play. Having torn all 3 of the major knee ligaments at once , the Brady “terrible triad” injury , I can tell you that no player is immune from it but the biggest protection from it is the muscle groupings in your legs and mid section. So your assertion that a player like Allen is as susceptible as Murray are wrong. Smaller guys like Murray and Lamar have much more probability of tearing them then guys with tree trunk bodies like Josh or Herbert. Much more stabilization in all of the muscle groups surrounding the joint and waist. Edited December 14, 2022 by Locomark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tore both my ACL's in separate hockey seasons. The first time it was ACL, MCL and meniscus with a lot of swelling. I waited 3 weeks for surgery. The 2nd time and other knee was just ACL with little swelling and surgery was in a week. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
