Mentioned at 41:18 – 44:07

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Murray's 2024 stats rival Darnold's; Derek backs his upside over McCarthy.

Derek argues Kyler Murray is better than J.J. McCarthy and not worse than Sam Darnold; Murray was statistically similar to Darnold's 2024 season and was that good in Arizona in 2024. Murray was better than Darnold for 80 percent of his career. Derek is betting on Murray returning to form after a down 2024 season, giving him a mulligan given his elite traits for his size.
