In the 2025 season, Kyler Murray started five games for the Arizona Cardinals, posting a 2-3 record with an 88.6 passer rating before a foot injury. His performance was impacted by a struggling offensive line and high drop rates from receivers. As he joins the Minnesota Vikings, head coach Kevin O’Connell emphasizes a “true competition” for the starting QB role with J.J. McCarthy, but his comments suggest a preference for Murray’s immediate impact on the offense, particularly in enhancing star receiver Justin Jefferson’s performance. Despite a narrative of competition, insiders believe Murray is positioned as the likely starter.
