Yahoo Sports NFL on Kyler Murray
From the article
Murray in KOC's offense should work on paper — but we just watched a preseason with one offensive touchdown. I've heard 'we're going to be physical in the run game' almost every August since O'Connell's arrival. I'll believe KOC, Keith Carter and Frank Smith when Mason and Jones are actually falling forward on third-and-2 in October.
STACKED’s take
Murray's 2024 form in KOC's offense could yield 12 wins, but preseason execution raises doubts.
Murray's fit in Kevin O'Connell's offense is theoretically sound on paper, but the source expresses skepticism based on preseason performance: one offensive touchdown in the preseason and a pattern of hearing 'we're going to be physical in the run game' every August without seeing results. The source will believe the run game works when Mason and Jones are 'actually falling forward on third-and-2 in October.' If Murray reaches his 2024 level in KOC's system with an easier schedule than last season, that projects to 12 wins; however, the source notes the Vikings had the 3rd-worst quarterback play in the NFL last year (worst for Vikings in 12 years) at 9-8, so Murray's improvement is critical.
