Is Kyler Murray Actually Injured?
You know, ever since the Titans game when Kyler Murray got bonked in the face by that snap, then suddenly walked off the field and went into the back and everyone was like, “Where you going, Kyler? What are you doing?” And then people like me thought he was just taking a dump and then coming back out onto the field and suddenly he has a foot injury all of the sudden. I’ve been getting vibes that this whole situation may be a little bit fishy. And while I don’t have proof on that, I’m going to explain to you why I think that today. Here’s my theory. Now, Kyler Murray, after getting his foot slightly injured at the end of that Titans game, has missed the Indianapolis Colts game and the Green Bay Packers game with apparently a foot injury. The whole time he’s been walking around in street clothes on the sidelines. He hasn’t even been suiting up in pads. And Kyler Murray was a game time decision for the Packers game. So, why now are we kind of getting the vibes that he may not play for the Cowboys game now? I mean, even right now, at the time of me filming this video on Monday, the Monday before the Monday night football game against the Cowboys, his status is still up in the air. I never saw a single play where it looked like he had kind of twisted his ankle or hurt his foot in any way. He never got rolled up on. There was no indication of him being hurt on any play and suddenly he’s out for 3 to four weeks. I mean, let’s take a look at the playing question right now. That is the one that apparently hurt him. Okay, so here is the playing question right here where the ball is going to hit him in the face. This is where everything started falling apart for the Cardinals in that historically bad loss for the Cardinals franchise. We’ve seen a lot in the previous years, a ball fly over his head when he’s not ready for the snap. For some reason, in year seven, he still does not have communication correct with his center. But this time, the ball’s going to bonk him square in the face. So, right here, here’s the play. Boom. Right in the face. He staggers backwards and then he’s going to stumble around and fall to the ground. This is where he then went to the back in the locker room for some reason. And everyone was like, where is he going? I don’t see anything during this play that makes it look like he got injured at all whatsoever. There’s a little pat on the head. Here’s the here’s the slow-mo of it. Look at his feet. Do you see anything weird happened? Bonk. Stumbles backwards and then falls on the ground. I don’t see anything there. For the rest of this game, Kyler didn’t really do much on the field. Brassette took over for a minute and then Kyler kind of came in and the team did absolutely nothing. Going punt, punt, punt, punt, punt. horrible play after another. So, Kyler really didn’t have much time on the field following this embarrassing fumble. The Titans pretty much had the ball for the rest of this game as they made their crazy comeback. So, I could be completely wrong about the play where he actually did tweak his foot, but to me, I didn’t see a single play and I am a physical therapist where it looked like he in any way hurt his foot. And then the next week against the Colts, he doesn’t suit up. Jacobe Brassette looks way better as a quarterback. He’s throwing for way more passing yards. He’s stepping up in the pocket. He’s throwing the football. He’s not just scrambling out there and relying on being the best athlete on the field in order to get him out of bad situations. Tyler’s always been the best athlete on the field. He’s no longer the best athlete on the field, and he can’t bail himself out as much anymore. He may get to do that two or three plays a game, but it just does not happen anymore where you can just make amazing plays with your feet. We’re never going to win a playoff game or a Super Bowl with a quarterback who can make a couple miraculous plays a game, but literally can’t play actual quarterback in the NFL. But then he didn’t suit up for the Packers game even though they said he was a game time decision. And now they say he’s questionable for the Dallas Cowboys Monday Night Football game. And this is where I come back to something fishy is going on to me. I wonder if maybe the coaching staff thought Kyler Murray ain’t the guy and he is not doing what we want at all. But instead of embarrassing Kyler and just benching him, they have instead given him an injury designation. Kyler can pretend he’s injured and not play. But something happened behind the scenes where now coach Ganon is like, I can’t stand this guy. I don’t want him playing for us at quarterback. I’m still going to go in front of the media and the press and say if Kyler’s healthy, he’s our guy. But at the same time, I don’t want Kyler to be the quarterback. I want BCET to be the guy. So they’ve given him an injury designation of foot when in actuality he’s not hurt at all. They just don’t want him playing at quarterback. they’ve benched him and they don’t really want to actually say that to the media because for one they don’t want everybody to know, yeah, we benched our really expensive quarterback for Jacobe Brousette instead of playing this guy we signed to a massive contract. And for two, they may want to be nice to Kyler and make it look like they’re not benching him so that they can save some trade value while also not just utterly embarrassing the guy that they made their franchise quarterback for way too long. That could be one of the theories. Another theory could also be related to Kyler’s attitude and his leadership. Maybe the coaching staff is fed up with his level of effort. Maybe they’re fed up with his lack of leadership on this team. Maybe they wanted him to at least for a few weeks see what a quarterback that’s actually played and had success sometimes in the NFL cuz Jacobe Brassette has had a little bit of success in the NFL as an actual pocket passer. So maybe this coaching staff was like, “Hey, we’re going to give you an injury designation for two to three weeks. We’re going to let you sit there and watch Jacobe Brassette. And this is how we want you to play quarterback. This is how we want you to lead the team. This is how we want you to scramble when you need to scramble. This is how we want you to throw the ball downfield when you need to throw the ball downfield. And maybe the coaching staff was thinking, “This guy’s just not getting it. He needs to watch a real NFL quarterback throw the football.” Granted, I think Jacobe Brassette is a really good backup quarterback and an average to below average starter in the NFL. So, it’s not like you’re watching Drew Brees out there or learning from Tom Brady. But still, Jacob’s been a great pocket passer and a great quarterback and he may be a better leader than Kyler Murray on this team right now. So, I just can’t get past the fact that is Kyler Murray really injured right now or is something fishy going on. It doesn’t make any sense to me. And I want to know your opinions in the comments below. Let me know if you think something fishy is going on or if you think Kyler’s actually injured because if he is injured, I think he’s Charmin soft. Tyler has been known in the past, other than the ACL injury, to be a player who is made of glass. And anytime he gets remotely hit in any sort of light soft way, he ends up being injured for an extended period of time. So, I wouldn’t put it past him to somehow be injured. Maybe he got injured taking a dump in the bathroom when he left the Titans game. Constipation is a horrible thing. One thing I know for certain is that the Cardinals need to get rid of Kyler Murray at the end of this year or before that. And then we need to look to the future with Jacobe Brassette for the rest of this year and then whoever we end up finding next year. But I really do not think that Kyler Murray is injured. And that’s my conspiracy theory for the day. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
Today we look at if Kyler Murray is actually injured or if we are just being fooled by the cardinals on his status. Kyler Murray has been out of action since the disaster of a loss to the Tennessee Titans a few weeks ago with an injury the Arizona Cardinals are calling a foot issue. The problem is he was day to day with this injury before the Packers game and now he is day to day with this injury once again for next weeks Monday night football game against the Cowboys! I think something fishy is going on. So today, let’s talk about my conspiracy theory on whether or not Kyler is actually hurt or not.

I hope your right. He is un coachable.
No he's not hurt. Maybe his pride is hurt. He is another quarterback idolized by ESPN talking about how great he is because he played for a big name college. Maybe ESPN should pay Arizona Cardinals back for steering them down the wrong path.
He probably wants out Arizona
