This guy was 4 yards away from beating the best defense in college football. Yeah he's 6'1", but who the **** cares? He's like an inch short of the prototypical QB requirement for QB's. Put spikes on him and he's fine.
Would not be surprised to see this guy starting in KC next year. Watch his game tape. The kid is ****ing good. He's just as good as anybody in this class. The fact that he put up great numbers in the hardest conference is insane.

I like Murray a lot. I thought he could have been the top QB in this draft, but he just did not get any better with Georgia. There's just something a little too robotic in his mechanics right now. I think that's largely on coaching, not his ability. Which is a shame. He'll do well in the NFL, but only if surrounded by the right coaching, because he's got a long way to go.
The other question I have is confidence. When the game matters most, I don't think he trusts himself. I don't see the swagger in him that I'd like. Maybe as he gets better, those problems disappear. Or maybe he's just never going to be a confident QB.
