How has Colt McCoy performed for Arizona Cardinals so far?

As a starter, McCoy has won two matches and lost one match as the superstar QB’s replacement with his single loss coming against the San Francisco 49ers. In his three matches, he scored two touchdowns and received the highest rating of 119 in a loss against the San Francisco based side.

In only eight games this season, Kyler Murray has put up some mind-boggling numbers. He has 2,276 passing yards and has scored an impressive 17 touchdowns. Moreover, his all round play skills mean that he also has seven interceptions to go along with a 72.7 percent completion rate.

The fact that the Cardinals haven’t struggled to a great extent in his absence makes Murray’s return scarier. And for a scary scenario like this, the Cardinals’ announcement of Murray’s return was on point. They released the official statement of Murray’s return in a crumpled paper with a somber font announcing the terrifying enigma’s return with two words – “I’m Back.”
