Good luck finding someone who checks those boxes.
6. Immensely desiring to be a top student of the game which very few NFL QBs attain. Most settle for C+ QBing especially the real athletic QBs thinking their athleticism will vault them over the top and rarely does only to flame out.
I don't see Kingsbury demanding a whole lot from Murray let alone demanding Murray to be a top student of the game. Let's face it Kings is only a HC in the NFL because of Mahomes physical uncanny talent. How do you get a HC gig in the NFL with a losing record and no Bowl appearances? Kings ain't no NFL student of the game IMHO and neither will Murray IMHO. He'll get by for awhile on his athletic talent as the rest did but that will be rooted out in due time as well. [Reply]

Yeah, he clearly doesn't have a good head on his shoulders as Mahomes has. [Reply]
