One year ago, this was the week where the Cardinals released Colt McCoy, and GM Monti Ossenfort traded for Josh Dobbs to reunite him with his former QB coach in Cleveland, Drew Petzing.
2023 5th round pick Clayton Tune was a rookie who would finish 20th in pre-season passing yards with 353 —- and thus the Cardinals wanted to turn the interim QB reins over to a veteran who was familiar with the system, that was before Kyler Murray would be ready to play later in the season.
When Josh Dobbs was traded to the Vikings on the eve of Kyler Murray’s return, rather than have Kyler face the Cleveland Browns’ ferocious pass rush in his first game back from ACL rehab, the coaches handed the ball to Clayton Tune.
