In preparation for the next Red Rain Podcast that Kyle L’ll Rock and I are hoping to record early next week, I would like to poll your reactions to a few of the things Kyler has indicated and said about his potential return.

Poll #1:

Poll

What is your reaction to Kyler claiming that "last year was necessary"?

This poll is closed

  • 3%
    Kyler is right, because Kliff was the problem.
    (11 votes)
  • 53%
    Kyler’s correct because the whole organization needed a shakeup.
    (194 votes)
  • 16%
    Based on the way Kyler struggled last year, he wants us to think it wasn’t much of his fault
    (59 votes)
  • 15%
    The necessary part about last year for Kyler was getting his $230.5M bag, everything else paled in comparison
    (58 votes)
  • 9%
    How can a season in which Kyler shows up late to meetings, is given the start anyway versus the Patriots and then on the third play of the game tears his ACL be necessary?
    (34 votes)
  • 2%
    Other, please explain in the comment section and if reasonable, I will add it to the poll

Poll #2:

Poll

What is your reaction to Kyler saying he is going to be" coachable"?

This poll is closed

  • 29%
    Should a QB’s coachability be a question after four seasons in the NFL?
    (100 votes)
  • 7%
    Yeah, I get it because Kliff was awful and Kyler deserves ro be vindicated for having to work with such an under-qualified coach
    (25 votes)
  • 40%
    This suggests that Kyler knows and acknowledges how a number of pundits have been questioning his coachability.
    (138 votes)
  • 21%
    It could very well mean that Kyler is now willing to accept more accountability.
    (75 votes)

Poll #3:

Poll

What is your reaction to Kyler adding the caveat that "if the (expletive) ain’t working, at some point, we all have to look in the mirror"?

This poll is closed

  • 3%
    It clearly indicates that Kyler isn’t quite too confident in his new coaches and offensive scheme.
    (12 votes)
  • 27%
    Kyler is just trying to exonerate himself in advance for how the offense performs because, after all, if he is going to be coachable and give it his all, a struggling offense would have to be the coaches’ fault.
    (90 votes)
  • 4%
    It means Kyler is retaining the prerogative to scream at his coach: "Calm the (expletive) down".
    (16 votes)
  • 44%
    It’s a fair statement —- at least he says "we all have to look in the mirror."
    (144 votes)
  • 15%
    Why would Kyler bring the "ain’t working" possibility up at this time, when training camp hasn’t even begun?

Poll #4:

Poll

What is your reaction to Kyler saying his goal is to start Week 1?

This poll is closed

  • 30%
    That should be his goal
    (101 votes)
  • 28%
    The fact that Kyler is aiming to start Week 1 is very encouraging
    (94 votes)
  • 0%
    With Kyler, a week 1 return is realistic
    (3 votes)
  • 4%
    It’s a tease.
    (15 votes)
  • 14%
    There is no way that Kyler comes back week 1, so why stoke up false expectations?
    (49 votes)
  • 20%
    The profound irony of this statement is that there is higher likelihood of Kyler not playing at all this season, than him playing Week 1.

Poll

What is your reaction to being told "if it wasn’t already clear, do not doubt Kyler Murray?"

This poll is closed

    I agree, Kyler is a man on a mission and should not be doubted.
    (58 votes)
  • 18%
    Yes, there is a whole new undoubtable vibe to Kyler this year.
    (59 votes)
  • 37%
    It’s difficult to imagine any narrative about Kyler that does not include the word "doubt".
    (119 votes)
  • 24%
    It’s pure hype.
    (76 votes)
