Report: Giants most interested in Murray today

muhajir : 3/13/2019 10:07 pm
Giants were the team that showed the most interest in Kyler Murray today; They met with him immediately after the Pro Day finished & he later had an extended meeting w/ Giants brass, per @MikeLeslieWFAA.

Here’s Kyler chatting w/ Mike Shula and Dir. of Col. Scouting Chris Petit. https://t.co/FBuqyG4LA8

it's a NYG football board.

If I want to look at large pics of Calamari I will go to a foodie board.

There is no reason to clutter NYG football threads with large photos of things that have ZERO relevance to the expected content.

Offer #95 and a 2020 3 two third rounders....if it doesn't work offer a 2020 2 and #95....we still have a ton of picks to rebuild team

Rosen's character issues scare me. Tons of scouting reports I read on him says he's not a great leader and is known to butt-heads with teammates. Not sure that's a trait I'd want in my starting QB.

I trust Schurmur on QBs  
Emil : 3/13/2019 10:42 pm : link
While I prefer a prototypical QB, it’s hard to ignore the exceptions to the rule like Russell Wilson and Baker Mayfield.

I think Schurmur can coach any QB and looks for things like a quick release and anticipatory passing more than height requirements.

Would also point out, at 5’10” 205lbs Murray isn’t much smaller than Case Keenum who is 6’1” 215, and Schurmur got plenty of production out of Keenum in 2016.

that Twitter pic makes him look about 5'5" or 5'6".
I doubt the NFL has a rule against a QB standing on a chair...

I'm just bustin' chops. IMO, Murray has skills that would mitigate that height deficiency.
Would be a great way to maximize Barkley

I think its important to understand that Case Keenum played in a dome in Minnesota. That gives an advantage to any QB. You can see the difference with Keenum outside of a dome, he was terrible.

I'm going to try this once more. I was not banned. I really don't know how differently to put it. My handle was Giants34. It got messed up as it was unlinked from my e-mail account, so I had to change my handle. So stop with the nonsense that I was banned, which was patently false.

DSG earned his monicker. He is an absolute jackass who is tearing this team apart with no plan other than to bow down to Eli. It's sickening to watch.

The reality is it's neither of your faults to being the assholes that you are... This web site has limitations and one of which should be to show the only the "image" as a clickable tab option and not display if not clicked.

But please carry on with your obnoxious rights to post whatever dumb and unnecessary pics you want on this site.

Mayfield is a shade over 6'. Wilson was a 3rd rounder. Murray is not 5' 10". Stephen A. Smith thought labeling him 5' 9" was being generous, and he may be correct. Here is a photo of Murray standing next to Haskins, who is listed at 6' 3" and Tua who is listed at 6' 1".

giants went all in for Eli in the draft giving away a lot. but there were many assurances from both inside and outside the organization that he was the guy to become the face of the franchise. You could almost say that his genetics and his family groomed him, determined him if you will, to be the qb.

Murray is too small and not just short. he has matured he can’t get much bigger and broader and being 5’7” which is closer to his actual height does not assure good odds for him to become a great nfl qb. So just forget it. it’s not going to happen because DG/Shurmer are too smart to let it happen.

Did he exhibit any of that last year in the pros? Forget the scouting reports. Besides surviving the season behind the worst line in the league, I don't think there was an issue with teammates.

You can't possibly be this dumb right? He was literally just measured at the combine and was 5'10 so no 5'7 isn't closer to his actual height.

Rick, that picture sure seems to show him 5 or 6 inches shorter than Tua...it ain't the shoes because I've seen the picture taken from the side and they are all in standard dress shoes. If I never knew he was measured at 5'10" and saw that picture knowing Haskins was 6'3" anad Tua 6'1", I'd guess Murray was 5'8"...

But that picture of Murray next to Haskins (who is closer to 6'3.5") and Tua is damming. He truly can't be 5'10".

No way by that photo.

Anyway the Giants were "all over him" because of due diligence. Several people have pointed out that Murray was just terrible on Dan Patrick's show in interview.

The Giants' brass are digging into his mental makeup, and maybe checking out the truth about his height too.

I don't think they bite on him at 6, let alone trade up for him.

But what do I know?

Rick in Dallas : 3/14/2019 8:22 am : link
He sure as hell doesn’t look 5’10” with 9 1/2” hands. Make him run the 40 also.
His hands look smaller in pictures when he grips a football.
I am just not sold on Murray. Like Haskins and Lock better than Murray.
In s perfect situation we trade our number 37 pick for Rosen.
I don't see it.

Height doesn't matter when your handing the ball off 40+ times a game. I'll be pissed if our offense is Raven-like.

I am very quickly moving into wanting Kyler Murray - maybe even more than Haskins. It has always been these 2 guys for me, but I'm starting to really like the idea of doing what we have to to get Kyler.

Swing for the fucking fences, man. If he doesn't pan out or gets hurt... so be it.

Take a shot. The kid throws a great ball. He's incredibly athletic. His size still really concerns me - as does his hand size (Goff was absolutely terrible in Chicago in December) - but I'd be happy if this is the direction we moved in.

This is too much guys. How old are you that you don't understand the concept of perspective? When shot at an upward angle, an object in the foreground will appear larger than an object in the background. In the photo in question, Murray is standing just behind Tua and Haskins, making him appear shorter.

Are we now doubting the ability of combine officials to hold a tape measure correctly?

Sure but that doesn't mean much here. Barkley is a once in a life-time caliber talent. For all we know the Giants really wrestled with that decision. There is no Saquon Barkley in this draft. Shurmur could have loved Darnold and the Giants still could have liked someone else more. Both things can be true.
