"I'm seeing parallels between Kyler Murray and Baker Mayfield. Do you think we could see a similar turnaround from Kyler in year three?"
Couple points to make here. One, Kyler had a pretty good season. I think Murray needs to improve in certain areas, but I don't see the need for a "turnaround." Not like from Mayfield was coming from. In fact, if you look at the numbers, Murray had a much better year than Mayfield in almost every category except touchdowns (same, at 26) and interceptions (Mayfield threw 8, Murray 12.) The other point here is trying to learn from a mistake many (including me) made last offseason, and that is making direct comparisons of Kyler to others. Everyone talked about him taking that second-year-MVP-type leap, and while Murray was good, he didn't get there this year -- and again, that doesn't mean he had a bad season. I reiterate, he needs to build on what he's already done, and the offense as a whole needs at least one more playmaker and a lot more consistency.
