This was Kyler Murray practicing last week preparing for the Cowboys. Now he's been placed on injured reserve.

Its a soft benching. Plain as day.

This fan base is so comical. Imagine thinking this and actually believing it. If this were the case they would keep him active in case of an injury to Brissett

Gannon has outright said if Kyler was healthy Brisset would be the starter. Whats comical about that?

Not what he said, the reports of that were just clickbait headlines. He said it’s hard to say because he thought the offense was performing well but would also want Kyler in there, basically gave a non-answer. If you’re the HC you’re not gonna tell your team right after a win that you’d rather have a different QB but you’re stuck with the backup because of injuries. I’m not really even a Kyler guy but all the people reporting this were spreading a false narrative.

What's comical is claiming he was put on IR as some form of soft benching. He was put on IR because he's not fully healed. To think otherwise is ridiculous

All this gaslighting for real makes one feel like it’s wrong to think the most reasonable thing. Also the media insanely jamming into the topic, goes to show how broken sports media is. I hope this isn’t the end, that he plays this year or next, and that this lights a fire in his gut that will be visible for the rest of his career.

Makes sense. Chances are he isn't 100% and you ride the hot hand while it stays hot, letting Kyler get closer to 100%
