I am with you. I knew he was a project. I knew he was more a Hubbard type than a sack artist. I was OK with that.
His admissions that he did not work as hard as he should have been were really disturbing to me. I guess it is a good thing he finally realizes it. But his work ethic was supposedly one of the reasons that betting he'd develop was a good bet.
His measurables (size, speed) are almost as good as Stewart's. Murphy had a 9.71 RAS. Stewart 9.99. They both look fantastic in tights but struggle a bit more with the football part.
But I think Murphy is firmly the #4 DE behind Trey, Ossai, and Stewart. And probably closer to Sample at #5 than Stewart/Ossai at #3/#2. Though Stewart & Sample will move inside a good bit, which will open up more snaps at DE.
I still have hope for Murphy. But am not expecting anything. And he should not be getting developmental snaps anymore. Merit based only. If Sample or Johnson are better, they should be DE4.
