One of the major reasons fantasy owners were keyed into Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray's rookie explosion in 2019 was the prospect of playing in a Kliff Kingsbury-planned offense.
As SB Nation’s Charles McDonald wrote last year, “Making life easier on the quarterback is the core principle of the air raid.” It’s no surprise therefore that the Cardinals lined up in shotgun nearly 90 percent of the time (second-most in the league) last season. Shotgun allows a quarterback to keep his head up and read the field extremely quickly, making a decision much faster than if he’s under center and dropping back.
