Reading your comments from the start of this thread kind of show you were keyed in on him as a "bad person" from the jump. 

I refuse to see signs because tape doesn't lie about him as a player. Again, I don't care if he is as a relateable guy or gives a good interview, if he isn't doing drugs or robbing people it doesn't matter. He was leader enough to lead OU back against Bama after a rough start. He was good enough at reading defenses to shred teams all year including working his progressions quickly and fluidly. If he checks out with his team mates then to me everything else is nothing because his coach endorses him. Cam Newton was blasted for being defensive, dismissive, and a total douche in his interviews...it hasn't hurt him in the NFL. 

The tape doesn't lie about the player.  I never denied that.

Let's look at it this way.  You have a QB who is a dynamic runner.  You have a rookie HC in a place where the last HC got fired in one year.  You have a bad OLine and a bad defense.  You have one receiver worth a damn. 

There has to at least be a chance that their passing game will have bad days.  On those days, what are the chances that the rookie HC goes all Shanahan/Harbaugh and puts that dynamic running ability to work? 

It saved Shanahan's job but got RGIII shattered.  It saved Harbaugh's job, even though Jackson had to leave more than one game dinged up.  How much running can Murray get away with in the not Big 12 NFL, where defenses are gradually coming to terms with the college offenses?

I'm not saying Kingsbury will be making a RB out of his QB.  But it's pretty hard to deny how strong the temptation will be because there is precedent.  How much of that will he be able to stand up to?  

Is his HC up to the task of taking a horrible team and turning it around?  He couldn't do squat at TT.   And talk about lofty expectations. 

Mayfield had a team already pretty well assembled, with good receivers and backs and a very good OLine and a top notch GM in Dorsey.  Murray will not have that.  That's gonna be a lot to ask.  Gonna be a far cry from Oklahoma.  We will certainly see what he's made of, won't we?  If he goes to the Cardinals, it almost seems like the worst possible situation.
