An under-considered part of the QB decision
This ad came out the day Kyler was declared QB1. Made me wonder how many QB2s get endorsement deals, because I don't think this ad gets released that day if Kyler was not named QB1. And then how many endorsement opportunities dried up for McCarthy and his agent when the announcement was made.
All this to say there is a lot more going on here than just which QB is taking snaps against Green Bay in the opener. I believe the decision was the right one, but I do feel bad for the kid.

Wow, you really hate this guy, don't you?
To be fair, Kyler Murray has literally always been one of my least favorite players in the NFL. Never once liked the guy.
It’s reflexive when I see the word “cringe”

Interesting story here that gives you both sides of it a bit (someone copy and paste please):
The Vikings believe in Kyler Murray, even though the Cardinals had seen enough.
Here’s why.
