Kyler Murray, the talented quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, was the first overall draft pick in 2019 and has already made two Pro Bowl appearances. However, despite his individual success, the Cardinals have only had one winning season since Murray took over the starting quarterback role. Coming off a disappointing four-win season, the Cardinals have made some offseason moves, including drafting standout player Paris Johnson and signing linebacker Kyzir White, but they are still not expected to be a top team in the upcoming NFL season.
Nevertheless, Murray believes that the Cardinals are poised for a competitive 2023 campaign. However, his own health is a concern as he suffered a torn ACL late last season, leading to him missing the final six games. Murray underwent reconstructive surgery in January and the usual recovery time for an ACL injury is around eight months, which means he may not be ready to play in Week 1 of the upcoming season. Nonetheless, Murray has expressed his goal to be ready for the opening week.
In a recent interview, Murray spoke about his mindset heading into the season and the changes happening within the organization. He feels a sense of freedom with the changes in the front office and the accountability and leadership they are bringing. Murray believes that the organization is building something from the ground up and is optimistic about the team’s direction.
During the past four seasons, the Cardinals have had a record of 25-31-1, with their best year being in 2021 when they went 11-6 and made the playoffs. Murray was a strong MVP candidate during that season. However, the team suffered a blowout loss in the wild-card round. Following that, the Cardinals made changes, parting ways with head coach Kliff Kingsbury and general manager Steve Keim. They hired Jonathan Gannon as the head coach and Monti Ossenfort as the general manager.
Overall, Murray is confident in the Cardinals’ potential and believes that the sky is the limit for the team. Only time will tell if their offseason moves and improvements will lead to a successful season.
