New Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said his plan for the offense is for everything to be structured around quarterback Kyler Murray.
The fact that Murray was in the training facility conducting his rehab from a torn ACL in his right knee was just as compelling. After he fired Kliff Kingsbury as head coach on Jan. 9, Bidwill told reporters that he expected Murray to do the majority of his rehabbing at the team facility and not near his hometown in the Dallas area. And there he was in Tempe, even sharing some of his workout routines on video via Instagram.
As for Murray, the former NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and two-time Pro Bowl selection, Gannon knows what a challenge it can be to game plan against the QB. Murray regressed this past season in his fourth year in the NFL. He had his lowest completion percentage since his rookie year and career lows in yards gained per pass attempt , yards gained per completion , passing yards per game and passer rating .
But make no mistake, Murray is the face of the franchise and despite what some of his critics may say about him, he and the Cardinals are united and invested in making it work. It will be interesting, though, to see how Murray responds to a new head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
