These quarterbacks are described as &#8220;solid starters, but they need more help.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After multiple injury-plagued seasons, Murray finally stayed healthy in 2024 and delivered an 82.1 overall grade. If he can avoid the injury bug again in 2025, Murray is well-positioned to take another step forward in Year 3 under head coach Jonathan Gannon and offensive coordinator Drew Petzing.<\/p>\n<p>Murray is frustrating for fans. We have seen Tier 1 or 2 play in his career. He has looked like an MVP in stretches. And then he looks very average. Normally turnover-averse, he threw eight interceptions in the Cardinals&#8217; final seven games, when they went from 6-4 and in the division lead to 8-9 and not making the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>In a season and a half under Jonathan Gannon, Murray has been someone who needs more, although what he really needs is a defense that can get off the field. Murray led a quality and efficient offense.<\/p>\n<p>He still has that Tier 1 ceiling, but this ranking based on actually play on the field is probably fair.<\/p>\n<p>Get more Cardinals and NFL coverage from Cards Wire&#8217;s Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.
