If wins are a quarterback stat, then Kyler Murray is the prime example of it being unfair.

Murray is 38-48-1 in his career as a starting quarterback. The alarm bells should go off as soon as you realize that Murray has completed 67.1% of his passes while producing twice as many touchdowns as turnovers (153 touchdowns, 72 turnovers).

With a better supporting cast in Minnesota, his numbers should produce more wins. That's just a fact, and it's precisely why the Vikings signed him to allegedly compete with J.J. McCarthy for the starting job.

Murray has faced every team on the Vikings' 2026 schedule at least once in his career, going 18-22-1 in 43 games. And he's beaten all of them except Green Bay, Indianapolis, and Tampa Bay.
