😤 Kyler Murray’s Mad At The Wrong People

Instead of questioning team execs, Murray blasted reporters over his study clause. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray vented out his frustrations at the media, but he might want to point the finger elsewhere ... we shadow Andrew Benintendi during his first day as a New York Yankee ... and more! Maybe Kyler Murray believed what he was saying. Maybe he really was mad and frustrated, not at the Arizona Cardinals, but at us. Maybe he was angry at people like me, who write, report and impart commentary about notable happenings in the NFL. Things like, ooh, I don’t know, a franchise trusting a quarterback enough to give him $230.5 million but simultaneously inserting a "please, do your homework" clause into the deal. Maybe he’s angry at people like you, who intelligently and rationally soak in the news that seeps out of the league’s inner workings during the offseason and make the entirely reasonable assumption that the Cardinals’ "independent study" subsection was the most bizarre proviso you’ve ever heard of. "To think that I can accomplish everything that I've accomplished in my career and not be a student of the game?" Murray said on Thursday, taking to the podium for an impromptu media session. "Not have that passion, not take this seriously, is almost … it's disrespectful and it's almost a joke." Agreed, Kyler. Totally disrespectful. An utter joke. Just one problem. That idea that something might be amiss came because of one reason and from one source only. Your employer. And, because of them, the joke centered on you, at the precise moment when you were given financial proof to back up your status as one of football’s best QBs. Sure, Arizona made a late attempt to walk things back on Thursday, removing the study condition from the contract and publicizing the fact it was doing so. Too late. Too late to fix the damage. Too late to stop the most positive piece of summer news about the organization from turning into a public relations calamity.

[BET OF THE DAY] [BET OF THE DAY] Odds provided by [FOX Bet]( Justin Fields to lead NFL in INTs: +900 FOX Bet Trader Daniel Montanari: The Bears will want to see a full season from Justin Fields to determine if he’s the QB of the future, and with what seems a below-par wide receiver core, there should be more interceptions up for grabs for opposing DBs. Also, in Fields’ 11 games in 2021, Fields was throwing an interception on 3.8% of his pass attempts. This was a full 1% higher than both Trevor Lawrence and Matthew Stafford, who not only led the league in INTs with 17 each but were second-highest in the interception percentage per pass attempt.
