I'm Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider presented by Fanduil.

0:34.6

Matthew Collar here and on the show from the athletic, Mike Sando.

0:38.3

I am fascinated by what people say about Kyler Murray because, one, I think that a lot of

0:45.3

folks just haven't paid much attention to him over the last few years for decent reasons.

0:51.0

It's been a bad franchise.

0:52.3

They've gone through some really tough years. And

0:55.5

the interesting thing, though, is in 2024, he underwent a pretty significant offense change

1:02.8

with Jonathan Gannon and Drew Petting. And it stands out to me, Mike, that he was asked to

1:09.5

play a lot more traditional quarterback than backyard

1:12.3

quarterback. I'm curious about through the years when you do the quarterback tears and what you've

1:17.5

heard about him. If that progress is something that shows up or if that change is something

1:23.2

that shows up when you talk about Kyler. I think there's two things that come up with Kyler.

2:03.0

If Kyler had to wait on that and came in the league with a chip on his shoulder,

2:09.3

it would be different for him.

2:10.5

So that's one component that always comes up with him.

2:13.7

And the other is you are limited to some degree by the size.

2:16.4

He can't do certain things.

2:17.9

So I think now as you go to the Vikings, well, the entitlement part, unless it's just wired into

2:24.9

his DNA, look, if he doesn't study or no stuff, he doesn't play. Like, they don't have to play
