Why 49ers fans should be happy Kyler Murray agreed to an extension

There would be times in life when good things happen, even if you had to be dragged towards them kicking and screaming. Kyler Murray’s new contract with the Arizona Cardinals might seem bad for everyone else in the NFC West, but it’s good news for the 49ers. I explained why on today’s Gold Diggers podcast.

As Michelle Magdziuk pointed out, things with Kyler Murray look great on the surface. Last year he had a higher completion percentage, passing yards per attempt, and passer rating than both Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. He routinely makes big-time throws down the field and had the fourth-fewest turnover-worthy plays in 2022.
