Kyler Murray's performance drop-off every fall is directly caused by the release of new Call of Duty games

Kyler Murray, before Call of Duty is released in the fall, he averages 22.5 fantasy points per game. And after it's released every fall, he averages 17.4 fantasy points per game. The new Call of Duty is supposed to come out the end of October. So it feels like the Cardinals were like, Hey, this is actually the Call of Duty clause here.

The statistical correlation exists, but the causal link to his performance drop remains a matter of debate/opinion.

The Cardinals specifically leaked Kyler Murray's contract to cover their own asses

I really do think the Cardinals are trying to cover their own ass because like you said, like they're, they have to sign Kyler Murray... but they also wanna cover their own ass and be like, well, if it doesn't work out, here's probably why giving themselves an escape clause.

While never officially confirmed, many media analysts shared this theory at the time.

Russell Wilson is becoming more of a robot every day

Russell Wilson is just becoming more and more of a robot every day. The fact that he like, he actually is, you know, when people say like, I'll give 110%, he truly believes that there is something more than a hundred percent.

Subjective assessment of a player's personality.

Jim Harbaugh's adoption stance is actually a long-term recruiting strategy to build a super team

He's essentially just opened the doors being like, I will take any babies that my team produces. And guess what? It's a lot easier to recruit your adopted sons than it is some random kid that you have no connection with. He's building a super team for 20 years from now.

Clearly a comedic theory that hasn't (and likely won't) manifest as a 2042 recruiting class.

The Vikings officially have a Kyler Murray problem

I think we can officially say they have a Kyler Murray problem. Justin Jefferson has reached his point where he's like, 'What the fuck is going on?' So that would be my point. Maybe there's a Kyler Murray issue.

Whether Minnesota had a significant Kyler Murray problem is an evaluative football judgment rather than a definitively resolvable fact.

The Vikings should trade for Kirk Cousins

What if I told you the Vikings could trade for a quarterback that has 18 touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown? Would that be something you think you'd be interested in if you were a Minnesota Viking fan? Kirk Cousins.

Whether Kirk Cousins was traded to Minnesota during the 2026 season is not established by the transcript or reliably known here.

Jalen Warren is a top-five running back

Jalen Warren is the top five running back this year. And it's like watching him play, that changes what I think about the Steelers.

Top-five running back status is ultimately a subjective ranking that cannot be definitively resolved.
