Social media detectives believe they have uncovered evidence that Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is about to have another well-documented second-half regression, following a tremendous start to the young 2024 season.
Kyler Murray has completed 73.1 percent of pass attempts for 428 yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions and 116 rushing yards. One week after narrowly falling to the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium in Week 1, the Cardinals returned home and crushed the NFC West rival Los Angeles Rams 41-10.
But is the first overall pick of 2019 the real deal this year, or is another second-half unraveling on the horizon? Let’s just say internet detectives believe they have evidence to believe the latter.
For those unfamiliar, Kyler Murray is a well-known superfan and avid player of the “Call of Duty” video game franchise.
There is speculation that the Cardinals became concerned about his love for “Call of Duty”, as the team initially implemented a mandatory four-hour “independent study” in his $230.5 million extension. Following immense criticism, the Cardinals removed the clause from Kyler Murray’s contract contract.
So look away, Cardinals fans. Here’s a reminder from Al Smizzle that the new highly-anticipated “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6” game will be released on Oct. 25 — two days before their Week 8 road game against the Miami Dolphins:

Don’t say we didn’t warn you about Kyler Murray if he endures a second-half swoon, Cardinals fans. Don’t forget that this was the norm during Murray’s four seasons with Kliff Kingsbury as head coach, either.
Things Might Be Different For Kyler Murray This Year
There are several reasons to believe that this might be the year where Murray plays like a superstar for an entire season. For starters, the dynamic pass-catching duo of rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and rising star tight end Trey McBride.
Secondly, head coach Jonathan Gannon has brought new energy and confidence to the Cardinals team that Kingsbury appeared to lack.
