Arizona Cardinals' Kyler Murray social media post brings back memories of Josh Rosen post
On Monday morning, the Arizona Cardinals posted a graphic of photos of quarterback Kyler Murray on X, with the text "Our franchise QB."
Pretty straightforward, right?
But the post immediately gave off vibes of a previous famous (or infamous) post from the team's social media team to many who saw it on social media.
That post was a quote the NFL franchise posted about Josh Rosen from then-head coach Kliff Kingsbury on Feb. 12, 2019.
The quote: "Josh is our guy."
Only Josh Rosen didn't stay Arizona's guy for long. The Cardinals traded Rosen shortly after drafting Murray No. 1 overall a couple of months after that infamous post.

Social media couldn't help but draw parallels between the Kyler Murray and Josh Rosen posts:

I don’t think they love Kyler, but let’s not act like the cardinals didn’t do this exact same thing while they had Rosen before drafting Murray lmao

All a smokescreen, this 100% means AZ is moving on from Kyler

The Cardinals' Josh Rosen post did not age well before the 2019 NFL Draft. How will this Kyler Murray post before the 2024 NFL Draft play out?
Stay tuned.
