If 2018 was the Year of Mahomes and 2019 was the Year of Lamar … well, it’s quite possible that 2020 could be the season in which Kyler Murray ascends to the top group of the quarterback pantheon. In his rookie season, Murray put up two games with passer ratings over 100 against a fierce 49ers defense, and he didn’t look overwhelmed against any defense. There’s a lot to build on there, especially since Murray looks like a natural fit in Kliff Kingsbury’s offense. Questions surround the legitimacy of Murray’s weapons, with David Johnson’s possible upcoming release and the lack of a No. 1 receiver outside of 36-year-old Larry Fitzgerald, and the defense needs retooling aside from a few key pieces. But in what should be a murderously competitive NFC West, at least the Cardinals have the game’s most important position sewn up.
