STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Murray's 2024 stats rival Darnold's Vikings year; environment likely explains Arizona struggles.

Murray's 2024 performance metrics with Arizona closely matched Sam Darnold's 2024 Vikings performance across most efficiency measures: PFF Grade 82.1 vs. 80.7; PFF Passing Grade 77.9 vs. 77.5; Adjusted EPA/Play 0.161 vs. 0.151; Success Rate 51.3% vs. 50.9%; Completion % 71.4% vs. 70.2%. Murray played with an inferior Arizona team and faced more unfavorable game situations, suggesting his struggles were more environmental than talent-based. The source argues that whether Murray's issues were intractable flaws or a product of Arizona's poor organization will be settled by his 2025 Vikings performance.
