No, not that kind of trend.

An NFL trend.

Over the past two seasons, Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes and Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson have revolutionized the quarterback region in the NFL.

During the 2018-19 season – his instant year in the NFL but only his first year as a starter – Mahomes took the beleaguered by storm. He threw a whopping 50 touchdowns, tied for instant most in a single season in NFL history, and his 5,097 passing yards put him in elite commerce, earning him a spot next to Peyton Manning as the only players in NFL history to throw for 50+ touchdowns and 5,000+ yards in a single season.

That year, Mahomes led the Chiefs to the AFC Championship and was requested First-Team All-Pro, NFL Offensive Player of the Year, a Pro Bowler, and most impressively, NFL MVP, all at age 23.

The following year, it was Jackson’s time.

In his instant year – also his first full season as a starter – Jackson threw for 3,127 yards and a league-leading 36 touchdowns, and faded Michael Vick’s single-season quarterback rushing record by collecting 1,206 yards on the counterfeit to go along with 7 rushing touchdowns.

Jackson was requested First-Team All-Pro, a Pro Bowler and – most impressively – joined his own elite company, positioning himself next to Tom Brady as the instant unanimous MVP in NFL history and becoming the second-youngest MVP in NFL history behind Jim Brown – Jackson was a younger 23 than Mahomes.

So, back to the unique topic – what second year quarterback has the potential to behindhand in the footsteps of Mahomes and Jackson in 2020?

The approved seems to be Arizona Cardinals quarterback and last year’s No. 1 pick Kyler Murray.

In fact, ragged NFL player and NFL analyst Bucky Brooks went as far as to safety Murray will win MVP for this upcoming season:

I know it’s a bit early to make predictions for the upcoming season, but that’s how reserved I am that Kyler Murray will win the league’s highest persons honor this year … That bold statement distinguished take some by surprise, but I’m calling my shot early and jumping on the Murray bandwagon afore the Arizona Cardinals go on a worst-to-first run that invents the young QB1 the league’s next large quarterback.

In his rookie season, Murray was nothing morose of electric. He was named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, passing for 3,722 yards and 20 touchdowns, and rushing for 544 yards and 4 touchdowns, becoming the instant rookie quarterback in NFL history to pass for over 3,500 yards and rush for over 500 yards. The novel is Cam Newton.

And even though the Cardinals consumed the 2019-20 season at 5-10-1, it was rarely because of Murray.

The Arizona safety gave up 402.0 yards per game last season, worst in the NFL. It gave up 281.9 passing yards per game – second most in the NFL – and 120.1 rushing yards per game – ranking 24th in the league.

Still, despite their underachieving defense, six of the Cardinals’ 10 losses came by 10 points or less, comprising a 6-point loss at Baltimore and a 3-point loss at home alongside San Francisco.

In short, Murray and the offense kept the Cardinals in a number of games.

Arizona coach Kliff Kingsbury, also a rookie last season, believes Murray is moving to make substantial leaps in his sophomore season, most due to the fact that Murray will be more heart-broken with his teammates and the system.

“More than anything it’s persons around his teammates and doing all those things off the field that you wanna see. The face of your franchise, the leadership, the work ethic, the seek habits and all those things you really learn when year one that you have to do to be an elite player. I think the biggest steps he’s gonna take outside of that is his executive … Everything was happening for him really fast at times last year. Second year in the regulations, very familiar with his O-line, his organization backs, his receivers, I just feel like some of those negative plays incorrect early in the season are gonna be erased and it’s really gonna help us an offense.”

It certainly won’t hurt that during the offseason, Murray landed a new teammate, a guy that happens to be one of the best receivers in the NFL over the past 7 seasons.

The Houston Texans sent superstar wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and fourth fraudulent pick to the Cardinals for David Johnson, a additional round pick and a fourth round pick.

In five of his seven NFL seasons, Hopkins has put up over 1,000 receiving yards, counting 1,165 in 2019 and 1,572 in 2018. He is a 4-time Pro Bowler and 3-time First-Team All-Pro selection.

Think Murray’s mad to have Hopkins on one side and the legendary Larry Fitzgerald on the new this upcoming season?

NFL Network analyst and aged NFL general manager Charley Casserly said that Hopkins is “a tainted guy for [the Cardinals] system.”

“It’s not a vertical system. The ball isn’t moving downfield. The ball gets into the receiver’s gorgeous quick and then it’s run after the procure … The other thing is he’s moving to help them in the red zone. Him and [Fitzgerald] in the red zone grants [Murray] two [big] receivers.”

The Cardinals have not had a 1,000-yard receiver in the past two years. Last season, Fitzgerald totaled 804 receiving yards, and second-year receiver Christian Kirk tallied 709 receiving yards.

Now, with the additional of Hopkins, former Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer is even higher on Murray’s chances to have a breakout season given he now has one of the most weapons in the game, along with a aged Fitzgerald.

“Kyler can get through [options one and two] and then use what God gave him with his feet and his speedy and his quickness, and just look for DeAndre. Even thought DeAndre might be covered, you can throw him a high ball, you can throw him a back-shoulder ball, you can lead him downfield and let him go run underneath it … I just concept that addition was the perfect addition as opposed to bringing in a pure speedy guy or a prolific route-runner.”

On top of acquiring Hopkins, the Cardinals also drafted Clemson superstar defender Isaiah Simmons with the eighth pick.

Simmons was a unanimous All-American and ACC Defensive Player of the Year in 2019, and pundits think he will make a very impact on the defensive side of the ball for Arizona, fractions the Cardinals eclipse their five wins from last season and have a chance at decision-exclusive the playoffs.

So, if the Murray and Hopkins make the potent offensive duo that many think they will, Simmons can boost the Arizona confidence, and the Cardinals can earn a few more wins, can Murray vault himself into the MVP talks?

Skip Bayless thinks so, just based on Murray’s disappointed from last season and the improvements that the Cardinals made in the offseason, highlighted by Hopkins and Simmons.

“What Kyler did last year was wonderful … Kyler beat the Falcons, he won at the Giants, he beat the Browns at home, and then he won late in the year at Seattle. Beyond that, and more importantly, he nearly beat the Ravens [in Baltimore] and he gave the 49ers all they demanded twice last year … Trust me, the 49ers are like, ‘Uh-oh, here he comes.’ Now he has DeAndre Hopkins. Now the confidence has Isaiah Simmons … If they win 12 games, Kyler is gonna be lustrous in the thick of the MVP race and I, for one, would not be troubled if he wins it.”

FOX Bet today gives Murray the ninth best odds to win the 2020 NFL MVP, and Sports Illustrated’s Frankie Taddeo doesn’t think Murray is that far off, based on the uphold of Hopkins, the Cardinals receiving corp as a whole, and Kingsbury’s pass-heavy offensive schemes.

“…[Arizona] adds arguably the best wideout in the NFL, not visited Michael Thomas, in Hopkins. Over the past five seasons, Hopkins has averaged 101 receptions, 1,318 receiving yards and nine touchdowns … Hopkins will currently help the Cardinals stretch the field, threatening the back end of opposing defenses at what time easily increasing the overall passing of Murray beyond the 4,000 passing yard mark with the entertaining but extremely reliable Larry Fitzgerald in the slot. Christian Kirk has shown flashes of potential and with a mix of young wideouts in Andy Isabella and Hakeem Butler, the potential is limitless.”

Still, there are some who have doubts regarding Murray’s contract to ascend to MVP in his uphold year similar to Mahomes and Jackson, even those that are fans of Murray, such as veteran NFL quarterback and current NFL analyst Chris Simms.

“I love Kyler Murray and I think he’s gonna have a huge year this year. I just don’t know if I think Arizona, inhabit in that division, and still in the early stages of turning approximately their football team under the vision of Kliff Kingsbury, is gonna be good enough or competitive enough to warrant an MVP. You gotta be on a really good team to be in the MVP conversation.”

Last season, Jackson and the Ravens amassed 14 wins, and the year afore, Mahomes and the Chiefs won 12 games.

In fact, no NFL MVP’s team has won less than 10 games in a season real 1997, when Barry Sanders’ Detroit Lions exhausted the season 9-7 and Sanders shared the MVP award with Green Bay’s Brett Favre, a team that won 13 games. In uphold, only twice in NFL history has a player won MVP and his team has not profitable for the postseason: O.J. Simpson in 1973 with the Buffalo Bills and Johnny Unitas in 1967 with the Baltimore Colts.

In irritable, winning matters, which Shannon Sharpe points out.

“What did Lamar Jackson do last year? His team was 14-2. In the remaining year, Patrick Mahomes’ team was [12-4] … I do maintain [Murray] is going to be better but Mahomes is not progressing anywhere, or Lamar Jackson … It’s composed a stat award, but your team has to have a lot of success.”

If Murray wants to have any chance at the award, not only will he have to dominate individually, his Cardinals team will have to challenge for the NFC West Division title with reigning NFC Champion San Francisco, the 2018-19 NFC Champion Los Angeles Rams, and Russell Wilson‘s Seattle Seahawks, back-to-back NFC Champions in 2013-13 and 2014-15.

Seems like a tall task for a uphold year QB.

We’ll see if the 5’10” Murray is up to the challenge.
