From the article

Forness, after watching All-22, insisted 'Kyler Murray was not bad' even if stats looked poor. Early chunk plays (dagger to Justin Jefferson, corner and post to Jordan Addison) worked; the second half collapsed because Todd Bowles' heavy fronts and deep linebackers clogged the intermediate windows Kevin O'Connell's scheme lives on.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Murray's poor stats were scheme/play-calling issue, not QB ability; first half showed competence.

Forness, after All-22 review, insisted 'Kyler Murray was not bad' despite poor stat line in loss to Tampa Bay. First-half performance was strong (5-of-8, ~100 yards, TD); second-half collapse blamed on Todd Bowles' scheme adjustments (heavy fronts, deep linebackers clogging intermediate windows) and Kevin O'Connell's play-calling failures, not Murray's ability. Protection was mostly clean (fastest sack 5.3 seconds), three batted balls were not height-related, and miscommunications with receivers were chemistry issues seen with prior quarterbacks.
