 Ladies and gentlemen we are 15 days away from the start of the NFL season 15 days away it's that close man you you could feel it you can almost taste it I don't know the NFL season tastes like so I guess not but anyway you get my point and with us being so close and really throughout this entire offseason of course we've went through so many different lists and we've heard a lot of different comparisons some actually have some credibility and others were just like what really what are you talking about man but this comparison and this statement it came from one Jeremy Fowler from ESPN and what he said that he heard he heard it from some NFL executives some NFL personnel what not and he said that a lot of NFL personal personnel believe that Kyla Murray Cardinals quarterback Kyla Murray that he'll be harder to stop in 2020 than Lamar Jackson and before I know a lot of y'all already saw the title like y'all probably got your pitchfork sour you ready to go do some damage but let's let's try to think of why he might feel that way before you get up in arms before you get all angry and upset and whatnot let's think about it he says that he feels that or he's spoken to some people that feel like Kyla Murray will be harder to stop in 2020 than Lamar Jackson well first and foremost let's go based off of ability alone just based off for the quarterbacks both of them can throw it both of them can show a run as well and Kyla Murray he is he's lower to the ground in Lamar Jackson I think he's about 5'10 but he is quick I remember and I y'all know I don't watch much college football but I did watch one um Oklahoma game and where Kyla Murray was playing and he like when I watched this guy run like this guy like he starts running and he just goes he liked he takes off quick man so the running ability is there is he shaking people like Lamar Jackson no not at that level but he's still he can still run and he can still move man and Kyla Murray can certainly still make somebody miss but I don't think that the comparison it's really about their running ability I do not think that's what people were thinking about or taking in mind or taking into account when they were thinking that Kyla Murray could end up being harder to stop than Lamar Jackson I don't think it's about the quarterbacks themselves but I think it's about what surrounds them what's around these quarterbacks what type of weapons do these quarterbacks have and again I don't think this was a diss to Lamar Jackson at all I just think it's them stating like hey they feel like Kyla Murray may be in a better situation offensively than one Lamar Jackson so let's take a look at the pieces around them well first who has the advantage when it comes to running backs and I actually had to look up the Cardinals depth chart at running back because I know they had Drizzy Drake on a roster October's very own I know they had him on a roster but beyond that I wasn't sure so they have King and Drake he's that guy and I believe they franchise tagged him or they gave him a transition tag but anyway they have Drake they have Edmonds Benjamin and Foster okay so no really notable names there but then of course the Ravens they have Mark Ingram they have J.K. Dobbins they have Gus Edwards they have Justice Hill so Ravens have a clear advantage when it comes to running backs because they have three and possibly four but a definitive three starting running backs on their team guys that could go to other teams and start guys that could start for their current team right now on the Ravens they have three definitive starting running backs and possibly a fourth but Justice Hill is a lot that is left to be determined with Justice Hill so moving on this is where the the big discrepancy comes in but first we didn't even go to you we're gonna start at the tight end position so their tight ends Arnold and Max Williams former Baltimore Raven and when you compare that to the Ravens Titan they have Mark Andrews and Nick Boyle and that third tight end is to be determined we'll see what happens there so with tight ends you got to give that edge to the Ravens as well but here here is where the biggest difference is the biggest difference comes at the wide receiver position and this is where I really think that and I really feel like this is why whatever NFL personnel said this that they feel like Kyla Murray is gonna be more dangerous than one Jackson this year I feel like where they got that from was from the receivers that he has on his team and it pains me that especially if it's true it pains me that the Ravens weren't able to get this deal done with the Texans and acquiring one DeAndre Hopkins because I felt like that could have just took us to so many more levels so much oh that's a tough one man oh man I will never ever forget making that video cuz I really feel like my eyes were getting watery I was just sad because I'm like man we could have the best receiver in the game but it's all good he ended up going to the Cardinals but anyway the biggest difference right here between Lamar's weapons and Kyler's weapons are at receiver receiver Kyla Murray has DeAndre Hopkins oh that's the best in the game he also has Larry Fitzgerald Hall of Famer guy who's been doing his thing for years the guy has what they say he has more tackles than drops and he's a receiver for crying out loud he's a receiver how does he have more tackles than drops that doesn't even make any sense but it's Larry Fitz Gerald he does not drop the ball they also have Christian Kurt but then I had to look at the roster and I had to get reminded they also have speedy guy Andy Isabella and then they have six four six five another big receiver Hakeem Butler and I forget that they had him because last year he was hurt so it's like man these guys they got guys coming back they got depth they got is they got a stack set of receivers and their top three receivers they a lot of them well I mean I'm saying a lot of time about three receivers though but they probably could all go to other teams and go be the starting receivers right away when youth obviously DeAndre Hopkins can go to literally any team and he would be the start at receiver we know that but Larry Fitzgerald he can go to most teams and be the starting receiver as well because he doesn't have the speed he wants and he was never really a speedy guy but his hands are still there the route is his hands his hands his hands ain't going nowhere man it ain't going nowhere this dude when you talk about long longevity Larry Fitzgerald is that guy and then Christian Kirk too he can go to a lot of teams and be the starter too so when you look at their group of receivers then you compare that to Raven's receivers how a lot of people view them you look at how Hollywood could go to a lot of teams and start but then beyond that it's like it's a lot of it's a lot more question marks than answers when it comes to Raven's receivers because obviously and again their receivers are veterans on the Cardinals Larry Fitz DeAndre Hopkins yes those guys they've been in the game for a while and they know the game they done exceeded expectations of they get that they're wonderful but with Raven's receivers there's a lot of there's a lot of question marks it's a lot that people just don't know it's a lot of that people just don't know what to expect because you have a Hollywood Brown looking good coming back from injury last year he was Raven's best receiver last year but he was hurt so that's that bodes well for him and the Raven's going into this year then you got Miles Boykin last year was very raw underutilized so how is he gonna fit in in this year's offense we just don't know yet then you got Devin Duvenay somebody who I expect to end up taking a slot position from Willie Snead if not this year then next year but speedy guy big play guy he's like a running back playing receiver got good hands got good speed got the big playability but hey now it's time to make it see if it translates to the NFL level James crochet not all the speed in the world good route runner but great hands makes great contested catches but he's a rookie so we got to see how it translates to the NFL then of course you got Willie Snead the Raven slot receiver somebody pretty reliable a decent blocker a decent speedy did lose seven pounds so he's gonna be playing at a different body weight so that's gonna be different for him but he's um he's never really been a star receiver so to speak he's never been that guy at wide receiver not that he's bad but he's never really been that guy so exactly what type of role he'll have with the Ravens this year that's to be determined it'll be a significant role but it's still to be determined but definitely a great teammate though it's one thing you could definitely say about Willie Snead a great teammate super supportive all that but anyway that's beside the point so my point is that when it comes to the Ravens receivers it's just a lot of unknown there's a lot of unknown it's a lot of unfamiliar territory when it comes to them as opposed to the Cardinals receivers and it's like oh you know what you're getting out of those guys you know what's to come you know what to expect because those guys have us most of them have established their name in the NFL they are household names if you know anything about football then you know those guys off top you could have somebody and that's no if this is no offense to the Ravens receivers at all obviously because they're super young but if you could have somebody that knows football that knows the game that's familiar with the NFL and you ask them who are the Ravens receivers they may look around like I I don't know I'm not sure and not to say that you everybody can name every single person receivers on the on every single team but with the Ravens there will be a lot of extra head scratching from that person because they just they're not familiar with them because they're not household names he's not yet so we'll see how this season continues to go and we'll see how it ends up going for Kyla Murray and Lamar Jackson now one thing that we have to also take into account that we didn't talk about is coaching because you could have the most talented team in the world you could be stacked quarterback running back receiver tight end often everything but if you don't have good coaching then it means nothing see the Browns for example and that's not me taking a shot at the Browns but you you know that over the past couple years their teams have just been built strong they have been strong like if you look at them on papers like wow okay Browns y'all doing something serious but then since it wasn't right at the top then everything below it it ended up crumbling so what I'm trying to say is that with coaching coaching makes a huge difference and what coaching did is that they with Lamar Jackson and the Ravens they took some receivers last year who nobody knew about nobody knew what to expect from them last year and they took those receivers and they took that offense and they just made it a machine it was a machine and it was a powerful machine so they didn't even need to have the best of the best at wide receiver they didn't even need to have the household names at wide receiver but they still got the job done and it did it well so with Kyla Murray in the Cardinals it's all up to coaching because you got the pieces in place you got the pieces in place to be very successful especially on offense but how are you gonna put those pieces together we'll see team keep it clean I appreciate y'all I love y'all so so so much and we out
