The Arizona Cardinals might soon have to decide between two Lincoln Riley-coached quarterbacks when mapping out their future.
Let’s read an excerpt from an article at Cards Wire by Jess Root, who writes:
“ESPN’s Jordan Reid has projections for 2024 and the Cardinals have the first two picks in the draft.
“Who are their selections? They select USC quarterback Caleb Williams first overall and then with the second pick (from the Houston Texans), they take Ohio State receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.
“This assumes the Cardinals are the worst team in the league and that the Texans follow them. Some might be excited at the thought. However, it does mean bad things for the Cardinals.
“If they are the worst team in the league, it means quarterback Kyler Murray either returned very late in the year or that he was bad in his return from his recovery from a torn ACL.”
Do the Cardinals really want to start over? If they choose Caleb Williams (provided they are in a position to do so), they would be starting over. It’s a legitimate debate as to whether they should prefer Caleb over Murray, given that Murray is their guy, the focus of a lot of investments over several years.
Yet, Caleb Williams has more upside than Kyler Murray. It’s not an easy choice if the Cardinals are in position to make it.
