If you want to make any quarterback look outstanding, give him the lead and great field position.
Jameis Winston threw just one pass when the score was tied and zero passes with the New Orleans Saints trailing in Week 1. Kyler Murray threw five passes with the score tied and zero when the Arizona Cardinals were trailing.
Winston threw just nine passes in Saints territory in Week 1, only one of them inside his own 20-yard line. Murray threw 16 of his 32 passes from Cardinals territory but just one from inside his own 20; the Cardinals had fine field position for most of their rout of the Tennessee Titans.
