When you look at Kyler Murray’s work through six games of his NFL career, you see really strong numbers.
Two of the games that have really stuck with me though are the games against the Detroit Lions and Carolina Panthers.
I went through what other QBs have done against those teams to try and gauge the performance by a rookie in his first three games.
Here were the numbers.
vs Det:
Murray - 29/54 308 2TD 1INT (T)
Rivers - 21/36 293 1TD 1 INT (L)
Wentz - 19/36 259 2 TD (L)
Mahomes - 24/42 315 (W)
Rodgers - 24/39 283 2TD 1 INT (W)
vs Car:
Goff - 23/39 186 1TD 1INT (W)
Winston - 16/25 208 1TD (W)
Murray - 30/43 173 2TD 2INT (L)
Watson - 21/33 160 1 rushing TD (L)
Minshew - 26/44 374 2TD (L)
Winston - 30/54 400 1TD 5INT 1 Fumble (L)
It’s interesting to put the numbers together and take Murray out just to see where he was.
