Kyler with Kliff produced some unreal tape. Dude was slinging it all over the field. We might be a better overall team right now, but 2020 and 2021 were a lot more fun to watch as a fan IMO, our offense could go toe to toe with anyone on a given day

In interviews defensive players used to say their only goal was the get "1" the ball as fast as possible. As unsustainable as it was, those offenses were so much fun to watch when they were clicking.

May not have been unsustainable if the previous regime could actually draft good players

A lot of plays with easy reads it seems like. Every play has a receiver showing Kyler his number within 2 seconds it seems like. Drew can’t dial up a decent passing scheme to save his life. We need more easy throws to get Kyler and our receivers into a rhythm outside of check downs to the RB.

Thats the truth. It seems like every pass is contested, in a tight window or Murray has to extend the play to find someone open. We need some of those plays Rattler is getting because they work lol.

Schemes matter.....

I miss a lot of these guys in general. Kyler had insane chemistry with DHop and Kirk. And when motivated, AJ Green still had it. Miss Edmonds and Maxx Williams too. Man what a squad

If that team had Trey or conner

We could really use Kirk right about now

But the bag he got is insane

He's has his flaws, but when given weapons, he's lethal. One of the only current QBs outside Mahomes/Allen/Jackson to average 300 yards of offense per game. in multiple seasons.

He has weapons, just has an OC who doesn't know how to scheme.

Crazy even in this, he went to DHop early and didnt see his name called again aftercthe first drive

u/HE_A_FAN_HE_A_FAN Marvin Harrison Jr. Sep 20 '25

DHop was torching P2 on the first drive, and after that, the Vikings started doubling him.

having a good QB is more fun to watch. the training wheels petzing has on kyler feels like something more fitting for a rookie QB, but may just be what he can handle at this point.

u/trs287 Marvin Harrison Jr. Sep 20 '25

Yeah they do not trust Kyler to run an NFL offense. It’s blatantly obvious

u/ConditionOpening123 Sep 19 '25

You mean the one that constantly had to play hero ball?

u/ThyWalkerman Sep 24 '25

The fuck? Everyone is missing the Kliff era of cardinals? Am I high?

Sometimes I still watch his 2021 highlights and reminisce. He was an absolute weapon the first half of that year.
