They retort that Brady and Brees and Wilson are anomalies, because they have talent that was dismissed - talent that Murray doesn't have. But right there is the point - bring the argument back to the actual player. Because debating what round some guy went in as the sole indicator of success is next to worthless. All it takes is one example to completely discredit it. |

I like the Aaron Murray pick, but maybe we should have some kind of a pool where we guess the date of the first "Murray should start over Smith" thread.

I like Murray a lot, and I think we may have gotten the best value for a QB in the draft. But we didn't get 1st round value in the 5th. He will have a lot of work to do and the odds will be stacked heavily against him, like any mid/late round QB. |

But if he would have entered the draft last year it's in my opinion the Chiefs wouldn't have drafted him anyways cause Reid was hell bent on trading for Smith. So this way we get both.

If Aaron Murray is Matt Cassel thats a good pick when you look at 4th round or drafted later QB's who produced and started atleast 16 games.

Murray was a second/third round prospect that slid to the 5th because of the knee injury. More than likely he will be a top backup instead of starter, but still its a good value pick and the step in the right direction for a franchise that doesn't value drafting quarterbacks.

No way, homeslice. Matt Cassel is never a good pick...never under any circumstances....unless of course you are able to trade him for a #34 overall pick in the draft a few years after you draft him...or something stupid like that. Oh wait.....nevermind.

Wrong. Hes the most productive QB taken in the late rounds not named Brady. That should bring some prospective to the conversation.

I like Murray but I firmly believe they are all in with Alex for the next 5 years.
This was a very smart pick though. Alex has been injured a lot before coming here, so having a capable guy come in is huge. I think Reid's premise here is to buy low/sell high. I can see him trying to get a 2nd or 3rd from a desperate team in the future.

Not to mention, Murray's style of play is so system-specific. I think the system has to be a specific one in order for things to work out for him and the team he gets drafted by and potentially plays for... the Saints would have been a good fit...the Chiefs are an awesome fit for him, IMO. I think the Chiefs staff knew he was likely to drop a bit because of that, so they took their chances and ultimately got their guy in the freaking 5th. Murray comes off as a bright kid to me and I believe he is capable of catching on to a WCO very quickly...I just hope he is able to execute it effectively if given the chance. |
