The Cardinals is a sinking ship led by a clueless captain Kliff Kingsbury on the front. A huge setback to the franchise happened during the Week 14 matchup when the starting quarterback Kyler Murray tore his ACL and got subjected to a season-ending injury. He is expected to undergo major surgery in January next year; however, the head coach seems to have no update on this decision leaving the fans trolling him online.
The Cardinals recently got kicked out of playoff contention after being placed at the bottom of the NFC West with a season record of 4-11. All thanks to the dubious play calling and several missed chances from Kyler Murray unable to convert the games.

Meanwhile, the torn ACL accounted for a big loss, and the quarterback will undergo surgery on January 3rd, 2023, as reported by Melissa Stark of NBC sports.
She disclosed the news on the Sunday Night Football broadcast and explained the unavailability of Murray for the next nine months. That means he won’t return until October 2023, exhausting the entire offseason and the start of the regular games next year.

Meanwhile, Kingsbury refused to acknowledge the reports claiming that he didn’t have any updates. “I have not heard that,” Kingsbury said via ProFootballtalk. Anyway, it isn’t a surprise anymore, given the rumors of a possible rift inside the locker room stay valid.
For the past couple of weeks, reports emerged of a possible back-and-forth between Kingsbury and Kyler Murray. They allegedly had conflicted interests and hence deteriorated their relationship.“It’s not good. It seems particularly bad this year. They’re cordial. It’s not the relationship you want from your quarterback and coach” a source said, per ESPN.
However, there haven’t been any clarifications from either of them. Regardless of the authenticity of this dispute, Kingsbury’s tenure in the franchise seems unlikely next year. The Cardinals underwent terrible seasons suffering huge losses since the head coach took charge in 2019. They currently rank 21st in total yards and 18th in scoring this season, as a result, the association is expected to break anytime soon.
Fans troll Kliff Kingsbury for having zero coordination with the team
Several aspects went wrong for the Cardinals this year. Every time they lose or win, Kingsbury is held accountable. Meanwhile, his recent comments about Murray’s surgery made him a laughingstock in the NFL world.
That’s cause it’s none of his business. He won’t be there when Kyler gets back.😂😂😂

The Falcons and the 49ers are next on the line for Kingsbury and the team. Although the Cardinals have improved their draft picks next year, it will be interesting to see how they approach the remaining games.
