I believe that Kyler Murray is going to win it.
Should he win it?
Will he win it?
Those things are up to interpretation at the moment.
My projection is Kyler because, one, I think he's more talented, and two, he is accomplished at the NFL level.
And even though things haven't been all sunshine and rainbows in Arizona, you can look at it and be optimistic about what Kyler can do in this style of offense with these weapons, with this play caller.
McCarthy had severe limitations last year.
Those limitations end up being majorly impactful in the Vikings not making the playoffs.
We can talk about the final four-game stretch.
Yes, final four games, not five.
That's a misnomer, and we have to really correct that because if you want to include his final five games played, you're gonna include that disastrous Green Bay Packers game.
And quite frankly, we can't do that because the fifth game that is currently included is the Max Brosmer win against the Detroit Lions on Christmas Day.
There-- We just need to be correct on the semantics here
