No. It's only the ones who don't transfer to the good guys that quit on their team.TX_Aggie37 said:Is every player that transfers a whiny self important ***** that quit on his team?SunrayAg said:

Still a whiny little self important ***** that quit on his team.
Have you been watching him this year. Highest % passer in the league.

His being an elite baseball talent just shows that he is an elite athlete whose resume can't just be thrown out the window. If we want to punish athletes for playing bad defenses, let's punish the last 2 heismans (heismen?) for playing on freakishly insane offenses that made them look better than they really might have been. Kyler still put up 400+ yards and 3 TDs with no INTs against Bama.Sparkie said:Not sure how MLB pertains to college football stats, but it's your dime.Alpha Texan said:
Well… I'm not gonna sit here and defend those defenses, but 10/10 times I'll take a heisman against those high school defenses over not winning a heisman. Bonus points if I have to give my first round signing bonus back to an MLB team to be the #1 NFL draft pick.
He is a great player and had amazing stats in college. But, facing little12 defenses is like having cheat codes. It does diminish his accomplishment.
It doesn't diminish his accomplishment at all. #2 that year was Tua. Tua played on a team that was leaps and bounds ahead of every SEC team in terms of talent and coaching, just as OU was in the Big 12. Are his accomplishments diminished simply because his team was so much better than everyone else in the conference? Tua was 1st team All-SEC that year, but compared to Bama, he played against much weaker teams. Did anyone question why he was 1st team.Sparkie said:Not sure how MLB pertains to college football stats, but it's your dime.Alpha Texan said:

Was Johnny's Heisman diminished because it was one of the weaker fields of finalists we've seen in a while w/ Klein and Teo? No.
Arizona is not trying to make Kyler a pocket passer, defenses have adjusted and are using a containment rush to keep him in the pocket and to limit his running and or scrambling. This has been the strategy by defenses most of the year, but especially since week 5. Try watching the Cardinals more than once a year next time before your spout off with some your high level analysis..W said:

2 out of 6 ain't that bad.
Jake would not have known of all the dynamics that were a part of that quarterback situation. He would not be aware of all private conversations with both quarterbacks. He would not be aware of the parents conversations with the coaches. No way he knew everything the coaches were dealing with when it related to Kyler and Kyle.
Granted, it's the coaches responsibility to keep the entire quarterback room from transferring so the end blame is definitely on Sumlin. However, it doesn't change the fact that the poster here still could be very correct in that Kyler is a whiny little ***** (a very rich one though).

Its just an outside observation but clearly Sumlin wasn't working closely enough with the individual players (like Allen and Murray) to develop any trust or personal relationships with key players. Thus when there was anxiety or insecurity, the individual players had no guidance on what to expect or what comes next.
Contrast that with Jimbo. He might is jawing with the players every time they leave the field but listen the the post-game pressers.... every players says things like "Coach always says this or that..." Over and over, these guys know just where they stand with Jimbo and his staff.
I'm sure there are plenty of players who prefer not getting ripped by coach but if they've been playing football for 15 years (like many of them have), they know that's part of football.
Maybe there is a place for the CEO coach (emotionally aloof and stoic) which arguably is Sumlin's style but he lost two 5 star QBs in 1 season (Both NFL quality) because BOTH of them resented how they were being treated by his staff.

Pretty wild we can't have a mature conversation about Kyler and his happenings in the NFL without turning it into a transfer/quit/can't make it in the sec/too small/sumlin messed him up whatever fest.
Kyler Murray was about to be flattened. Two Minnesota Vikings defenders were bearing down on him last month when the Arizona Cardinals quarterback had no choice but to turn his back to his own receivers for the sake of his own well-being.
Nothing about what happened next was scripted. Murray scrambled nearly 30 yards to the opposite sideline and heaved the ballon the run and across his body45 yards in the air, where receiver Rondale Moore had carefully positioned himself. Moore carried the ball another 40 yards into the end zone.
It was a dazzling play that captured how the Cardinals have mastered a style of offense that's taking over the NFL. It's familiar to anyone who has played with a bunch of friends in the park. That's because it looks like schoolyard football.
Murray is part of a generation of quarterbacks who have never experienced the pressure to stand in the pocket like Tom Brady. Murray had the freedom to freewheel in high school, and he played the same way in college eventually winning the Heisman Trophy because of it. Then he became the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft and has only gotten better playing the same way.
While Murray was on his way to going undefeated in high school, Kingsbury was having his own realization about how quarterbacks can thrive in this manner. In 2012, he was the offensive coordinator at Texas A&M when a freshman quarterback named Johnny Manziel dashed around the field like his shoes were on fire and upset No. 1 Alabama.
"Johnny Football really got it started for me," Kingsbury says. "That was the one where I really learned to relinquish the reins."
Kingsbury, whose offensive philosophy was steeped in the pass-heavy system called the "Air Raid," went on to become the coach at Texas Tech. That's where he had an even more talented quarterback who had a similar knack for those uncanny plays: Patrick Mahomes.

Kilff Kingsbury and Kyler Murray have been a great head coach and quarterback combo for the Arizona Cardinals. Even with a disappointing loss to the short handed Green Bay Packers at home, the Cardinals will probably win the NFC West.
As for Kyler's college days, Kevin Sumlin and offensive coordinator Jake Spavital did not make a sufficient effort to adapt to Kyler's skill set. By transferring to Oklahoma, Kyler found an offensive system that would suit his skill set.

Not sure he was an elite baseball talent, maybe he was. But I do know he never threw for 400 yards and 3 TDs vs. Bama. If you are referring to the CFP game, it was 21-0 at 1Q, 28-0 and 31-10 at HT, all the stats after that really don't matter.
All credit to him, aTm fans just have a bad taste in their mouth from his time here, and he wasn't ready to play as a true fish and should have RSd. Don't blame him for transferring out of the Sumlin S show with a terrible offense and no coaching.
He has played great in the NFL, but the NFL has proven multiple times over that QBs like Manning, Brady, etc. win big in the NFL, not dual-threat QBs. There is nothing new in the NFL and if Michael Vick could not change the NFL, then Manziel or Murray were/are not going to change it either.
Green Bay Sd the bed on the goal line at the end of the game. Being in a shotgun or pistol formation from 12 inches is ridiculous, get under center, I formation, and go straight ahead 4 times. GB was lucky to win and Kyler did a great job getting his team in a position to win.

3 of those have " beaten Bama"
https://i.postimg.cc/rpHKr9JQ/IMG-0770.jpg
Murray was selected 9th overall in the MLB draft, which is an elite indicator to me but that's totally opinionated. He may have been drafted even higher, but teams knew the risk of him never picking up a bat and going to the NFL instead. He only threw for 300 against Bama, rushed for the other 100, and while 300 is amazing, it does go to your point that he's needed his legs in the past, which is not the best recipe for success. Going into the 4th quarter of that CFP game, it was an 11 point game and OU had scored 20 of the last 23 points, including winning the 3rdQ 10-0. OU was not going gentle into that goodnight, and Bama was not comfortable going into the 4th.
I'm not saying he's gonna change the NFL, neither is Lamar, despite winning an MVP 2 seasons ago. QBs who are elite passers will still win 90% of super bowls. But I believe Kyler has the arm to be elite, or get close enough to be the 10%. I was disappointed with his arm strength his freshman year at A&M. I expected a baseball arm, and he didn't have it, but when he played college baseball, he moved to the outfield and grew a lot of arm strength.in AZ, He's not scrambling around and playing Houdini like he used to. He's averaging less than 20 rushing yards per game this year, Which is less than elite arm talent and super bowl QB Russel Wilson rushes for. Kliff has him sitting in the pocket and ripping the ball across the field in that spread-em-out offense. Kliff is a brilliant offensive mind as has set a great offense ahead of Kyler, who is molding it to his liking.
Between Lamar and Vick winning MVPs, I believe he can do that. And with dual-threat QBs Russel Wilson and Commie Kaepernick making several super bowls and winning 1, I believe he can do that too. He can run as well as any of those guys and pass almost as well as any of them in his 2nd year.
Kyler has also been a leader for that team since draft day, despite what many of bitter ags, who you mentioned, believe. Last summer, amid Covid, Kyler told his receivers, "Hey Texas is open. Come out here for the summer, I'll take care of you, and let's start getting reps together."
Green bay in shotgun inside the 1 blew my mind. If you don't want Rodgers to get under a dogpile, send Jordan Love out there, sheesh. They screwed it up doing the same thing in the first half at one point, too, I think.

It was true when he was drafted and its true now...he's small and one blindside hit away from being done. Healthy and in peak playing shape he's a superb NFL player. A tweaked ankle or rolled up blocker will end his mobility quickly.Jarrin' Jay said:

Maybe we even beat Bama if we leave Kyler in the whole game so Kyle doesn't throw *checks stats* 3 PICK 6'S to Alabama.

Im pretty sure Saban didn't tell Hurts there was a qb competition. When he yanked him for Tua to win the championship game against Georgia. You play to win the games. Both qbs where whiny imho.

MLB draft is based on potential, much more so than NFL draft where someone drafted that high is expected to be NFL ready. I am not an expert on OU baseball but my understanding was Kyler was very average in college baseball and not even a starter.

It's not about his time at A&M being brought up. It's that it's brought up every single time. It's like it's
on a teleprompter or programmed in or something. The opinions never evolve.or change.
Hmmm, that's a really good point about them drafting for potential. Looking at it now, he wasn't a sub, He played 51 games and had 189 AB's with a decent average of .300. He had elite speed, good power for someone his size, averaging 1 HR every 19 AB's. So yeah, he showed signs of being able to hit, hit for power, he had the speed, and I assume he was fine in the field. But he never really broke through on any of those. He was a key piece of their lineup though.
The 20th pick that year, playing at Oregon State, however, didn't miss a game. He hit .348 with 19 HRs and he was also an outfielder. I know those are just a few stats, but the overwhelming majority of the other stats also lead me to say the Oregon State outfielder would be the better choice, yet he was picked 11 picks later. In conclusion, the idea of the MLB drafting for future potential while the NFL focuses more on your results as an indicator for the future is a really good point. Thanks for that!
