It is safe to say that the Arizona Cardinals are pleased with their situation at quarterback. Rookie quarterback Kyler Murray has been great and he is beginning to get recognized by those outside of the Cardinals’ local market.

In a recent ranking of the quarterback situations for all 32 NFL teams by Touchdown Wire’s Pat Yasinkas, the Cardinals are in the top 10.

They come in at No. 9 with Murray.

New coach Kliff Kingsbury and the front office were so infatuated with Kyler Murray that they made an unusual move. They drafted Murray with the No. 1 overall selection just one year after picking Josh Rosen at No. 10. Soon after they picked Murray, they traded Rosen to Miami. Although the Cardinals have only three wins, the move is looking like a smart one. Murray has thrown for 2,703 yards and 14 touchdowns with just five interceptions. He also has rushed for 418 yards and three touchdowns. Like any rookie, Murray has committed mistakes, but he hasn’t looked overwhelmed by his adjustment to the NFL. “He’ll be fine. They just need to put a better team around him,” one panelist said.

Of course, there are some situations ahead of the Cardinals that seem questionable.

The Buffalo Bills with Josh Allen are ranked ahead of the Cardinals, even though Murray looks like much better a quarterback, even in Year 1. The Atlanta Falcons with a 34-year-old Matt Ryan are ranked fifth. The Jacksonville Jaguars with Nick Foles are ranked seventh.

There is no doubt that the Cardinals will be exciting to watch over the next several years, and the battles that should take place in the NFC West with quarterbacks like Russell Wilson, Jimmy Garoppolo and Jared Goff will be fun.
