American TV host Colin Cowherd is one of the well-known personalities in the NFL world. He never fails to update the fans with the latest news on the gridiron and often entertains with his analysis and statistics of each player.
In the recent episode of The Herd with Colin Cowherd show, the analyst released a list of all the quarterbacks who he thinks are the real Super Bowl contenders entering the 2022 season. However, this recent list doesn’t have the names of emerging talents like Kyler Murray or Lamar Jackson, which is expected to trigger debate among NFL fans.
Cowherd explained through his show that he believes only eight quarterbacks can be included in the tier 1 category. The remaining eighth in the tier 2 category and the rest of the 16 quarterbacks come under Tier 3.
“I only think there are eight guys in the world in tier one and probably eight in tier two and then 16 and tier three,” he said on the show.
“To me, these are the guys that go on to the Super Bowl. Allen, Brady, Burrow, Herbert, Mahomes. Rogers Matthew Stafford, Russell Wilson. I think Derek Carr and Kyler Murray are darn close. Lamar Jackson, maybe two I’m not sure. I think Kyler, I think Dak, and Lamar can win maybe a playoff game or two. I think Derek Carr’s darn close, I like Derek way more than the market. And I think Kyler is very special.” he added in his short speech.
Surprisingly, the Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and Arizona Cardinals’ signal-caller Kyler Murray is not on the preference list. There is no doubt Jackson and Murray are the next generation leaders once these big names Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers retire from the sport. Moreover, the latest contract extension bagged by the Cardinals QB has elated his brand value even more.
Kyler Murray bags a humongous deal
The Oklahoma product surprised the fans with his recent contract that he signed last week. The deal assures him $46.1 million per year on average, putting him just behind the Packers’ QB Aaron Rodgers. Murray will get $105 million at the time of signing, making him one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL.
Despite all these developments, the thing that caught everyone’s attention was a special clause that was included in Murray’s contract. It contained a compulsory “independent study” clause that keeps the quarterback busy with having homework, apart from team meetings and training sessions for four hours every week throughout the season.
Several sporting celebrities and fans criticized this move. Later, they removed it from the contract. Although, it raised questions regarding Murray’s performance and preparations for the games. It seems Kyler Murray, who will play in the fourth NFL season, has to prove himself as the tier-1 QB.
