I agree with many points. To be fair to Kyler though both ints were Marvin’s fault. Also Drew Petzing is the worse OC in football.
The thing about Kyler is he always flashes enough great plays to keep you optimistic but then can never put it all together consistently.
He makes a lot but compared to other QB salaries that is just the going rate for a non-rookie starter who is good / not great
The OC point is interesting with Kyler and other guys like him who are best at making things happen outside of structure.
Has Kyler demonstrated an ability to execute a well-designed offense? I recall there being embarrassing reports about him not watching film, which paints a picture of a player who prefers to improvise over planning.
He's still probably the QB I'm most scared of, after Mahomes, to make some ridiculously improbable comeback in any given game.
reply
Those reports were driven by Steve Keim being retarted in contract negotiation trying to get leverage.
Kyler has bad body language when things don’t go well but in general for the last few years he has been the first guy in / last guy out. I don’t think work ethic is the issue.
Petzing doesn’t know how to design an offence to personnel
reply
Ok, but has Kyler thrived in any offensive structure so far?
reply
He’s made 2 probowls in 2020 and 2021. Was pretty dynamic and put up throwing / rushing stats consistently
reply
I know he's had good production but my impression has been that it's more from unscripted play-making than gameplan execution.
reply
That’s how Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Lamar produce most of their dynamic plays and points too
reply
I agree about Mahomes but he's settled into the offensive structure more over time.
Lamar and Josh are great improvisors but they also have a lot of designed runs and they use that threat to set up the rest of their offense. I think both of them mostly execute their gameplans at very high levels.
Kyler seems more like the Mahomes model where his running success mostly comes from scrambling out of pressure.
reply
A lot of these throws are from the pocket. Kyler use to have one of the best deep balls in the league @Undisciplined
Petzing has cucked the offense
In general the offense looked great the first bit of Klingon Kingsbury’s tenure.
It started to become too predictable tho and too reliant on Kyler magic and everything burned out.
I would love to see him in an OC scheme like Kyle Shannahan. Maybe the cards can hire Mike Mcdaniels after the dolphins fire him
Hail Murray against the bills! Will never forget that play
reply
He made two amazing TDs+2pt conversions in a 4th quarter against the Raiders when they were down 16. It was some of the most spectacular play I've ever seen.
reply
We both been burned by Kyler
reply
I saw he took 6 sacks!! That’s terrible
