Kyler Murray's development stagnated this past year, and one NFL team executive posited it could reflect a larger issue for the Arizona Cardinals star.
Speaking with The Athletic's Mike Sando, the anonymous exec cited the team's "older roster" and Murray's "contract/injury situation" as drawbacks to taking over as Arizona's head coach.
"I don't know how much better Kyler can be," they said regarding the veteran quarterback. "He might have hit his ceiling, and will always be limited by his size and unwillingness to stand in there and get hit."
Whoever succeeds Kliff Kingsbury as coach will do so knowing Murray is likely to miss the start of the 2023 NFL season with a torn ACL.
