Ex-Cardinals GM sounds off on controversial Kyler Murray comments

Kyler Murray and new Arizona Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort appear to be on the same page heading into their first NFL season together. Murray and former GM Steve Keim? Not so much.

Murray recently made headlines for his polarizing comments about people having to “look in the mirror” when things aren’t working out. NFL circles took that as a subtle jab at the previous Cardinals regime after the team made moves to replace Keim and last year’s head coach Kliff Kingsbury.

“I’m going to listen. I’m going to be coachable and I’m going to do it to the best of my ability, but if the s– ain’t working, at some point, we all have to look in the mirror,” Murray said on the Cardinals’ Flight Plan series.

Keim recently chimed in on Murray’s comments in a Tuesday appearance on “The Herd” with Colin Cowherd. Safe to say the ex-Cardinals executive wasn’t thrilled with his former quarterback’s stance.

“What he said, you don’t love it,” Keim remarked. “When he added the word ‘but’ in, generally behind a positive, the word ‘but’ does not end in a positive light. I certainly didn’t want to hear that. Nor do fans want to hear a guy who’s making $46.1M a year blame anybody but himself. I’m not saying that he’s a guy that blames people, yet at the same time, when you get that bag of cash, everybody expects you to take it on your shoulders."
