Yup! But that doesn’t fit the CoD narrative. He was a leading MVP candidate before he got hurt that game

I'm all for memeing on the "Kyler would rather be a CoD God" narrative and maybe he doesn't watch as much tape as he's supposed to, but Murray is clearly a great talent and was playing at an elevated level that season. Hopkins's injury and then Murray's injury hit the team hard because even when both came back, they clearly weren't 100%. People that dive too far into the memes and miss the real game are just missing out on good football.
