From the episode

Kyler was bad, but I do think that there were like a couple of excusable moments... he had a few like I think the most frustrating one to me was early on in the second quarter... he runs into the flat. The outside spot player is open and like they do this little play action... Hawkinson. He's open. He's wide ass open at the sticks on I think third and five. And Kyler gets like a flash of color from the edge player right in his face and just like freaks out and takes a sack.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Murray's concussion return and system adjustment showed feast-or-famine play with decision-making issues.

Coming off a concussion and in his second game in a new system, Murray struggled with refined quarterback play and decision-making; he double-clutched and avoided throwing over the middle, had multiple plays where the ball needed to come out faster, and showed feast-or-famine tendencies where he can push the ball downfield with defined choices but struggles when reading progressions, raising concerns about offensive consistency.
