He is Doug Flutie the second. Take a chance on him and watch the magic happen. Whoever drafts him willn not be sorry, he is talented, tough, and a gamer.
but I do think the thread title is slightly misleading. It looks like all signs are pointing that way, but it's not official. (Maybe that distinction doesn't mean much to most, but it does to me. I may just be a persnickety bitch, however.)
baseball? Has there ever been a QB that has done both professionally before? I think he would easily go first round as a QB even with the size concerns, but if he wants to do both sports I don’t think he will go in the first or second.
Maybe I read this wrong and he is going to give up on baseball for the NFL.
How would he survive as a running back and not a qb? If we are talking strictly physical stature. I just don’t get the logic. Thin lower body. Imo He doesn’t have the body type to be a running back. If he fails at qb he would be beyond stupid to attempt a career at running back over trying his luck in the mlb
There are three things to consider about Murray. Â
He goes to his second read once. Look at his highlights (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIw2sEuR0P4
) Around the 2:10 mark.... Other than that he's going to his first read the whole time. Unlike Drew Lock who's head is on a swivel constantly looking off his receivers!
he's going to have a lot of time on minor league bus rides to study the playbook and film. Which is weird.
Seriously, I wonder how long he'll be up for that. In the NFL, he'll be playing at the highest level int he sport, highly paid, performing in front of huge crowds in first-class facilities, staying in nice hotels on the road and enjoying all the perks that come with being a "big league" athlete. In baseball, he'll be a minor leaguer, riding the bus and putting in months of work in front of tiny crowds in small-to-medium towns, in small, second-rate stadiums.
Plus, it's one thing to do the two-sport thing as a CB/OF like Deion Sanders or a RB like Bo Jackson, it's another to do it as a QB, where there's so much mental preparation. Plus training camp -- the bulk of practices for NFL teams -- are during baseball season. How's that going to work?
I guess if he puts in the time at rookie and A-ball, if he doesn't make it work in football he'll be able to catch up and have a chance at a MLB career starting in his mid-20s. But it sounds unworkable to me.
But if he can somehow stay healthy, he will be a good pro QB. I have very little doubt about that.
First not dust lol
I asked at WR? All said QB. No brainer for Murray“

2) He's an excellent runner.
3) He's very short for a quarterback.
Quote:
“Texted several nfl execs just now on Kyler. Everyone responded 1st round.
In other words, none of them thought he was worth a 1st round pick.
My thoughts as well!
