KylerMurrayhasitintheNFL.
Hehas a chancetobegreat.
He's RussellWilsonagain.
He's RussellWilsonalloveragain.
But I thinkifanything, he's a Mawrdynamicrunner.
And I thinkheis a betterthrowerthanRussellwasathisage.
NowRussellputupnumbersas a rookieandbeyond.
Russellis a firstballotHallofFamer, and I thinkitis a shamethathehasneverbeenthe M V P.
Andheabsolutelystillcouldbethe M V P.
Thisyear.
He's hadbacktobackbadgames.
ButRussellWilsonis a greatplayer, but I thinkColinMurrayhas a chancetobejust a goodifnotbetter, andheisasmuchfuntowatchasanyplayeratthepositionintheentiresport.
Sotome, I don't likehearinghimtalkaboutlovingbaseballandmissingitandnotgivingupongoingbacktoplayit.
