The Arizona Cardinals are probably far from making it to the Super Bowl. After all, they have a rookie head coach with zero NFL experience and a rookie quarterback who started only one year in college.
However, despite the inexperience, Cardinals rookie QB Kyler Murray appears in a list of 15 dream quarterback matchups in the Super Bowl. He appears not only once, but twice.
Find out what the two matchups are and then vote for which one you would like to see more!
Kyler Murray vs. Josh Rosen
This would be so much fun with so many storylines. This is what Michael Colangelo wrote for Touchdown Wire about the dream matchup:
This would be a cold revenge game. Josh Rosen somehow gets the Dolphins straightened out and leads them to the Super Bowl to face Kyler Murray, the QB who replaced him, and the Arizona Cardinals, who ditched the former UCLA star after one season.
If both Rosen and Murray faced one another, it would be a big win for GM Steve Keim. It would prove him right about Rosen and prove him right about Murray. A Cardinals win over the Dolphins in what feels like the least likely Super Bowl matchup of the year would give Keim yet another win.
Kyler Murray vs. Baker Mayfield
The Browns are a fun pick to be great in the AFC this year but they are still the Browns. Murray and Mayfield are connected in a number of ways.
Time to have some fun. Would be cool to see the back-to-back Heisman winners from Oklahoma playing with the championship on the line. Granted, the Browns are way close to the Super Bowl than the Cardinals. And there is no guarantee the Browns will be there in short order.
They were teammates. They have been the last two Heisman winners. They were the last two No. 1 overall picks. They will have faced one another already in the regular season this year.
Plus, playing the Browns would also add other elements to make a dream Super Bowl matchup period. Steve Wilks, Cleveland’s new defensive coordinator, was fired after one dreadful season last year, Multiple coaches on the Browns staff were coaches or players in Arizona, including Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens, who was a position coach for a decade for the Cardinals.
