Jonathan Gannon's tenure with the Arizona Cardinals has faced challenges, particularly with the performance of quarterback Kyler Murray. After a difficult 4-13 season due to Murray's ACL injury, the 2024 season provided a clearer benchmark. The Cardinals posted an 8-9 record but struggled with offensive efficiency, finishing 10th in EPA per play yet ranked 12th in points per game. Murray, while showing flashes of his talent, failed to elevate the offense as anticipated, completing the year as the QB10.

The offensive strategy, which leaned heavily on a balanced approach, limited the team's ceiling as they ranked low in both pace and pass rate. Tight end Trey McBride emerged as a vital piece of the passing game, showcasing his potential but not enough to ignite the overall offensive production. As the Cardinals look toward the future, the need for a more aggressive playbook and improved performance from Murray will be crucial.
