Over Kyler Murray’s first 7 career starts (also a “notable” #1 overall pick that this graphic cherry picked away):
Record - 3-3-1
TD/INT - 7/4 (he also had 2 RTD and 1 FUM)
We should also remember that Murray joined a team that had one of the NFL’s worst ever rosters the season prior. He was also paired with a first-time HC who was still finding his way in the NFL.
#1s usually go to the worst team but Carolina did trade up.
This metric should have something to reflect teams prior year performance. I would love an O line metric of first year starts but hard to have that be one line.
