Murray has proven nothing. We shall see if he can handle the horrible franchise and the beating and the losing and the no defense and no weapons. Maybe he is equipped to handle it. I predict he'll be a lot like RGIII, who had an awesome one year career.
If you're a new HC desperate to win(the previous guy got one whole year to prove himself), working for a FO with, let's just say, questionable judgment, and you have a QB who can run like Murray can, you will be having him run. And good luck with that.
If a team has the number one pick in the draft, if they aren't going to take the hands down best player, you at least have to take the best QB. And there is far from a consensus he is even the best QB and nobody is saying he's the best player.
Is Murray built to handle the sucking? That is what I'm really asking.
This is a straw man. You brought up how important combine throwing was as some sort of knock against Murray, it isn't by the way, so I asked if you applied this logic when Luck didn't throw.
You said...
"As far as not doing anything at the combine, where's the competitor in you? Where's that side of you that says hell yes, I'll throw, I'll out throw all these other QB's? When I leave here, there will be no doubt who's the best. Give me the guy without fear. If you're the first overall pick, you will obviously be going to the worst team in the league. How you gonna handle that if you're afraid to do combine drills?"
So does it or does it not matter to throw? Did you apply these same standards when Luck chose not to throw? Where was the competitor in Luck? Why didn't he throw against other QB's to prove he was the best (there was debate RG3 could be better as weird as it seems now). If he was going to the worst team in the league how could he handle that if he was scared of combine drills?
