The fact that the Cardinals have made this mega-contract to the 24-year-old quarterback shows that they trust the 2-time draft pick to Pro Bowland Offensive Rookie of the Year, but they wanted to make sure his discipline as a student of the game didn’t drop after receiving his payday, though this clearly annoyed Murray.
“For me, I am flattered. I want to say flattered that all of you think that at my size, I can go out and not prepare for the game, and not take it seriously. It is a lack of respect, I feel that, with my teammates, with all the great athletes and great players that are in this league. This game is too difficult. Playing the position I play in this league is too difficult.Murray added.

“I’ve put an incomprehensible amount of time, blood, sweat, tears, and work into what I do, whether it’s football or baseball. People can’t fathom the amount of time it takes to play two high-level sports in college. Let alone being the first person to do it at my size, like I said, it’s funny, but for you guys out there who think I’d be standing here in front of you today with no work ethic and no preparation, I’m honored that you think so. But it doesn’t exist. It’s not possible, so that’s all I got of thatMurray finished.
