With a decent season, Murray can move in to second place all-time in team history in passing yards and touchdown passes.
Quarterback Kyler Murray enters his seventh NFL season in 2025 and has been one of the Arizona Cardinals’ most productive quarterbacks in their history. He ranks third in franchise history in passing yards and touchdown passes.
He should move into the No. 2 spot this coming season.
In his career, Murray has 19,498 career passing yards and 115 touchdown passes.
No. 2 on the franchise all-time list in both categories is Neil Lomax, who had 22,771 passing yards and 136 touchdown passes.
For Murray to move into second place and pass Lomax, he will need 3,274 passing yards. Outside of 2022 and 2023 when he missed 15 games between the two seasons because of his torn ACL, he has surpassed that passing total.
He needs 22 touchdown passes in 2025 to pass Lomax. He had 21 last season and 26 and 24 in 2020 and 2021.
How much more does he need to be first all-time in team history?
Jim Hart, who played for the Cardinals from 1966-1983, had 34,639 passing yards and 209 touchdown passes.
Murray needs 15,142 passing yards, which would require an average of 3,786 passing yards over four seasons.
He needs 95 touchdown passes, which would require nearly 24 touchdown passes a year on average over four years.
Those are certainly achievable goals, but it will mean that he not only plays well statistically but also leads the Cardinals to the postseason. Without that, it will be tough for him to be their starter for another four seasons.
But as for passing Lomax, that should happen this year.
He is already No. 2 in franchise history in pass completions with 1,864. Hart is No. 1 with 2,590.
