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.

All I can say is I guess we will see. This will be a fun thread to look back on in a year or two no matter what happens lol. At worst it'll result in Jpoore taking a draft season off from crazy predictions.
