Kyler Murray, the Arizona Cardinals' quarterback, is far from perfect. 

After coming off an ACL injury, the table is set for Murray to prove his doubters wrong. With the addition of Marvin Harrison Jr., the Cardinals' offense looks primed for success. 

Still, former head coach Bruce Arians isn't completely in on buying a boatload of Murray stock. 

“I think Kyler’s evaluation is still up in the air,” said Arians. “Kyler makes amazing plays and some really poor ones, but he’s a very talented young guy.

“The problem with guys who depend a lot on their legs is they have leg injuries. All of a sudden, they have to depend on their arm and their brain, but I think he’s at that point now in his maturation process where he can depend on those things to win games, and not just depend on his legs.”

Though Arians isn't all-in on Murray, the sixth-year signal caller has enough belief in himself heading into 2024. 

"I want to say it's felt like one of the best offseasons I've had in a long time," Murray told reporters.

With the weapons at his disposal, Murray is set to make the 2024 season his.
