Nick Mullens

He's pretty much gone from having the Midas touch to the Chiefs touch, it feels like, because you had a guy who once had the pastronaut Josh Dobbs, inherited Kirko chains, and made him only look better than he ever was with Zimmer.

Even a couple weeks with, what's his name, the guy in Jacksonville, blanket on the name, Nick Mullins, looked solid for a couple weeks.

Yes.

And then, obviously, the- And, of course, Darnold.

Jameis Winston is like a pretty good comparable to it.

Um, 2024, Derek Carr, 2023, Nick Mullins, which is very funny.

Um, 2023 Anthony Richardson.

That's what this looks like.

What is more likely through four-ish games of Kyler Murray? KOC is holding Kyler back or Kyler Murray is holding Kyler Murray back?

think it's Kevin O'Connell and that's not to like oversimplify it I think there are limits there were always limitations that Kyler Murray was going to have in what we've come to expect you know I think a lot of people saw what happened last year with the offense and said okay well we get a different quarterback in here we'll go back to Sam Darnold we'll go back to Kirk Cousins we'll go back to uh the flashes of fun we had from Nick Mullins even right like what just get a competent quarterback and it'll flip.

That was never going to happen.

I think with Kyler, I've always been in the camp that he's a very talented quarterback and football player, but there are ways to make it work.

Okay, he is kind of the gunslinger of the two Hank is more like Hank Brown He's more they'll just take with the defense gives you a chuck down I feel like a Klinsky if they're gonna lose this game It's gonna be he throws three interceptions because he does not care.

He'll yeah, he's like Nick Mullins He just throws a bunch of interceptions

And then also throws for 500 yards.

Exactly.

He is en route to a Pro Bowl, All-Pro, whatever it would have been for Hawkinson.

And every one of us was saying, what a great deal by Quasey, right? And then, yeah, he gets hurt in that game against the Detroit Lions, the throw from Nick Mullins.

And then all of a sudden it's, why did you do that? Why did you ruin everything? You got no playoff wins out of it.

And a lot of times stuff is like that, right? I've always thought that about Lewis scene.

McCarthy, he's a really young player, he hasn't a lot of NFL starts.

I wanna leave room for him to get better, but it was so dreadful in Minnesota against a backdrop of this Vikings setup working so well with other dust balls like Nick Mullens, Sam Darnold, you know, Kirk Cousins.

All those guys not only propped up or, or sustained with Justin Jefferson, but he was really good.

Justin Jefferson with J.J. McCarthy was awful.
