The beginning of the 2019 offseason saw the Arizona Cardinals stand by their starting quarterback.
Along with saying the right things to the public, the team's X/Twitter account posted a now infamous graphic stating Josh Rosen as "our guy."
We all know what happened just two months later.
Rosen watched as the Cardinals—one year after trading up for him—drafted his replacement, Kyler Murray, with the first overall pick. Their guy wasn't really their guy after all.
Murray has been with the Cards ever since, signing a five-year extension with the team in 2022 to officially become their franchise QB.
And that's exactly what the team posted Monday morning, almost mimicking their Rosen post from five years ago.
What the Cardinals' social media staff posts has no bearing on the front office's plans for the team, but it is hysterical of them to give Murray the same treatment Rosen got right before his career went sideways.
Rosen bounced around with the Miami Dolphins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and a few other clubs over the past four years since leaving Arizona.
Obviously, that won't happen to Murray, but the Cardinals do hold the fourth overall pick in April's NFL Draft. There could be a quarterback they deem worthy of that pick available, and start fresh once more at the quarterback position.
Are the Cardinals repeating history, or is this an actually genuine reminder that Murray is indeed the franchise quarterback? History tells us to not assume one way or the other.
What should the Cardinals do with Kyler Murray?
The quarterback’s future is still uncertain.
