Why are NFL fans making the same joke about Cardinals’ Kyler Murray commitment post?

The NFC West has been quite competitive throughout the 2023 season. However, Kyler Murray’s Arizona Cardinals were the only exception to that. The team struggled throughout the season with a lackluster performance before ending the campaign with only four wins and thirteen losses.

Murray himself has to struggle with his injury setback continuously. Besides on-field adversities, he also got embroiled in a trade drama. However, the Cardinals have decided to draw a definite scenario for their quarterback, which draws parallels to an infamous past incident.

Kyler Murray rumors ended with Cardinals’ 3-word social media post

The Cardinals put an end to speculation surrounding Kyler Murray’s trade situation with a succinct three-word social media post, “Our franchise QB.”The post features three images of Kyler Murray, highlighting the team’s unwavering support for their QB1.

This affirmation might seem unnecessary given the Cardinals’ substantial investment in the quarterback. The team made a commitment with him of nearly a quarter-billion dollars through 2028, made just two years prior.

Coming on the heels of a similar statement on Facebook, where the Cardinals unequivocally declared, “There’s no doubt, Kyler’s our guy.” Head coach Jonathan Gannon has also been steadfast in his endorsement of the signal-caller’s as the team’s long-term solution at quarterback.

When asked about any doubts regarding Kyler Murray’s future with the team in a recent interview, Gannon responded that there was no room for ambiguity. The QB’s tenure as a starter has been marred by injuries and a somewhat lackluster win-loss record, but the Cardinals remain resolute in their commitment to him. His Pro Bowl appearances and flashes of brilliance on the field also affirm his potential on the field.

NFL world making the same joke on Cardinals’ Kyler Murray post

Some NFL teams have some weird rituals, such as wishing a player a happy birthday and releasing him after some moments on the same day. A similar trend from the Cardinals was speculated by fans when the team announced the bold remark about Kyler Murray.

This moment harked back to a not-so-distant memory when the Cardinals had similarly declared their allegiance to quarterback Josh Rosen. But later, they surprise everyone by selecting Murray as the first pick in the 2019 draft just two months later, via YardBarker. It was a move that left fans scratching their heads and speculating about the unexpected twists in the NFL.

Fans couldn’t help but draw parallels to the past, highlighting the team’s tendency to make definitive statements about their QBs, only to seemingly pivot later.

A fan wrote, “Buddy no one makes you tweet these things.”

A user wrote, “Didn’t yall do this for Josh Rosen?”

It’s still unclear whether the Cardinals’ social media post was simply a routine display of support or a subtle hint at future moves. However, in the unpredictable world of the NFL, nothing is ever quite as it seems. Fans will now have to wait for the next chapter in the team’s QB saga.
