2023-07-07
Arr, me hearties! Kyler Murray be a fierce scallywag, fightin' injuries from the start. But fear not, for the Arizona Cardinals be signin' him to a jolly big haul o' doubloons last July. Aye, the lad be stayin' aboard to plunder the league!
In the 17th century pirate language, me hearties, let's talk about the adventures of Cardinals' star quarterback, Kyler Murray, in the treacherous waters of the NFL. Arrr, his first four years on the gridiron have been a bit of a mixed bag, mateys. He's managed to throw at least 20 touchdowns each season, except for the cursed 2022 season when an injury cut his journey short. But fear not, me mateys, for this here No.1 draft pick of 2019 still believes in himself, even if others be doubting him.Now, me hearties, CBS Sports be releasing their rankings of the quarterback scallywags, and poor ol' Murray found himself in the lowest tier, tier 6 to be exact. Aye, they placed the signal-callers in tiers 1 to 7, and Murray ended up in the abyss of tier 6. But did our fearless pirate captain let it shake him? Nay! He simply shrugged it off like a wave crashing against the hull of his ship.
"I love it!" Murray exclaimed in a Twitter post in response to the rankings. Aye, this be a man with the heart of a lion and the wit of a pirate. He be a two-sport star back in his college days, but injuries have plagued him ever since he set foot on the NFL shores. Yet, he still managed to be named Rookie of the Year in 2019 and made it to the Pro Bowl in 2020 and 2021.
But alas, me hearties, tragedy struck when he tore his ACL last season, forcing him to miss the final six games. The surgeon's knife be his only hope, and he underwent surgery in January. The recovery time be at least eight months, so it be uncertain if he'll be ready to hoist the Jolly Roger and play in Week 1 of the 2023 season.
The new coaching staff be trying to manage expectations, aiming to keep Murray safe from further harm. The sixth tier in the rankings be labeled the "No Clue, Man" group, aye, a fitting name for those who doubt our pirate captain's abilities. He threw for over 2,000 yards and 14 touchdowns before he was injured last season. The Cardinals be sailing into uncertain waters with a new head coach and a new general manager.
But fear not, me hearties, for Murray be using the doubt as fuel to stoke the fire within. The Cardinals be setting sail on September 10, facing off against the Commanders to begin the 2023 season. Will Murray prove his doubters wrong and lead his crew to victory? Only time will tell, me mateys. So, raise your mugs of grog and toast to the adventures of Kyler Murray, the pirate quarterback of the Cardinals!
