   Remember when the Arizona Cardinals removed the "homework" clause from   
   quarterback Kyler Murray's contract after the clause was reported by the   
   media?   
      
   The team should have kept it according to some comments from a teammate of   
   Murray's.   
      
   An anonymous teammate of Murray's recently told Michael Silver, writing   
   for Bally Sports, that "it was like they created a monster," after the   
   quarterback signed his five-year, $230.5 million extension with Arizona   
   over the summer.   
      
   The teammate, called a "Cardinals veteran" in Silver's story, wasn't done.   
      
   Silver wrote in the story: "Once paid, the veteran said, Murray felt less   
   compulsion to study his game plan or to fulfill the expectations of the   
   franchise QB position than he had in the past, and the Cardinals’ collapse   
   felt predictable."   
      
   Reaction:Arizona Cardinals' Michael Bidwill under scrutiny for Kyler   
   Murray coach 'input' comment   
      
   Murray's deal made him one of the highest paid quarterbacks, and players,   
   in the NFL.   
      
   It was not without controversy, however.   
      
   The contract included an addendum that required at least four hours per   
   week of studying the team's opponent each week of the season, according to   
   reports.   
      
   The clause was slammed throughout the league before, and after, it was   
   removed from his contract.   
      
   "After seeing the distraction it created, we removed the addendum from the   
   contract," a Cardinals statement said. "It was clearly perceived in ways   
   that were never intended. Our confidence in Kyler Murray is as high as   
   it’s ever been and nothing demonstrates our belief in his ability to lead   
   this team more than the commitment reflected in this contract."   
      
   Murray responded to the clause after the team removed it.   
      
   "To think that I can accomplish everything that I've accomplished in my   
   career, and not be a student of the game and not have that passion and not   
   take this serious is disrespectful," Murray told the media. "And it's   
   almost a joke. To me, I'm flattered... that you all think that at my size,   
   I can go out there and not prepare for the game and not take it serious.   
   It's disrespectful, I feel like, to my peers, to all the great athletes   
   and great players that are in this league. This game is too hard to play   
   the position that I play in this league. It's too hard."   
      
   He continued: "I'm not 6-7, 230 (pounds). I don't throw the ball 85 yards.   
   I'm already behind the eight ball. And I can't afford to take any   
   shortcuts, no pun intended. But those things you can't accomplish if you   
   don't take the game serious, if you don't prepare the right way. And, you   
   know, it's like I said, it's laughable."   
      
   He wasn't done.   
      
   "I refuse to let my work ethic, my preparation be questioned. I've put an   
   incomprehensible amount of time and blood, sweat, tears and work into what   
   I do," Murray said. "To those of you out there that believe that I'd be   
   standing here today in front of you all without having a work ethic ...   
   I'm honored that you think that, but it doesn't exist. It's not possible."   
      
   What's next?:Kyler Murray's NFL career will be defined by his 'reset' and   
   how he responds to new coach   
      
   Murray recently had surgery for a torn ACL and its unsure whether he will   
   be back for the start of the Cardinals' 2023 season.   
      
   Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill recently said that the QB would have   
   "input" in the team's search for a new coach, a comment that came under   
   scrutiny.   
      
   Just like Murray apparently is under for his work ethic once again.

   terrible idea
