STACKED’s take
Murray ranks 17th EPA, 16th success rate, but accuracy concerns lack clear fix.
Murray ranks 17th in EPA per play (.089) and 16th in success rate (49.3%) among 30 qualifying quarterbacks, placing him squarely average by advanced metrics. However, the eye test reveals significant accuracy concerns: he threw for a season-high 115 yards despite completing only 4 of 13 attempts for a 30.8% downfield completion rate, the lowest since 2023. Forness noted there is no clear fix to the accuracy issues, stating 'There is no through line to where we can point to this and say, Hey, we fix this, we'll fix some of those accuracy concerns.' The disconnect between middling EPA/success rate and poor accuracy suggests systemic issues that may not resolve without offensive simplification.
