As the NFL season draws nearer, Arizona Cardinals fans are hoping that quarterback Kyler Murray is recovering well from his injury. He ruptured his ACL in the 2022 NFL season and had surgery done in January. Given an eight-to-nine-month timeframe for a return from such an injury, fans will be wondering when exactly he can return to the field. Much depends on the QBs ability to scamper, play with a collapsing pocket, run and throw. There is not really much of a Plan B for the Cardinals as it stands just now. So, one can imagine Cardinals fans' surprise when Kyler Murray was ranked by an NFL expert as among being a sixth-tier quarterback in a classification with only seven tiers. Chris Trapasso 🏈@ChrisTrapassoWell done, @WillBrinson52751Well done, @WillBrinson https://t.co/5imm1OlFv8Fans were unsurprisingly having none of that. Considering players like Brock Purdy, who was also injured last season, ahead of Kyler Murray, despite the latter having a bigger body of work, definitely raised the ire among the fanbase. Here are some of the best responses from NFL fans to that classification: ✖️🔌@AlwaysOpen4L@elitetakes_ the kyler murray disrespect it insane, he’s a top 15 quarterback. he was on his way to elite status2581@elitetakes_ the kyler murray disrespect it insane, he’s a top 15 quarterback. he was on his way to elite statusBrandon McDermott@B_McDermottt@ChrisTrapasso @WillBrinson Is Kyler Murray really tier 6?

But this particular list seemed to rile fans of all persuasions. Considering that Jalen Hurts made it to the Super Bowl, while Joe Burrow and Josh Allen did not, it seemed surprising to not include him in the first tier. If injuries were a factor, and they seem to be in the case of Kyler Murray, then seeing Lamar Jackson in the second tier was also surprising to many. New York Jets fans will be apoplectic to find their new messiah, Aaron Rodgers, languishing in the third tier. Given that tier also comprises of players like Daniel Jones and Justin Fields, such a conclusion is perhaps not far-fetched. If one argues that Daniel Jones is there based on last season's performances, then Russell Wilson in the same category arguably cannot stand. But perhaps the most galling omission still remains Kyler Murray. Putting him at the same level as untested quarterbacks like Sam Howell, Desmond Ridder and Jordan Love did not seem fair to many. Notably, this is a player who has made two Pro Bowls and was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2019. None of his compatriots in the same tier have a CV remotely close to his.
