Does Call of Duty Double XP events cause Kyler Murray to play worse?
You have to love the internet. I mean there are sleuths everywhere. There is actually a guy on Reddit named NegativeBee who tracked Kyler Murray’s performances to Call of Duty.
Kyler Murray is a big-time gamer, but when Call of Duty has Double XP events, this sleuth named NegativeBee discovered, that Murray actually plays worse. Here is a link to the Reddit page talking about the statistics.
The Cardinals recently removed the clause in his contract saying he no longer has to study film four hours a week. Murray was pissed off, but this investigation below on Murray and the Double XP point weekends is pretty interesting.
Murray’s average passer rating on non-2XP weekends is 97.43 and 89.65 on 2XP weekends, showing a -7.77 difference on 2XP weekends.
Murray’s average yards per game is 251 on non-2XP weekends and 245 on 2XP weekends, showing a -6 YPG difference on 2XP weekends.
Murray’s average comp% on non-2XP weekends is 67.29 and 67.17 on 2XP weekends, showing a -0.12% difference on 2XP weekends.
Murray’s record on non-2XP weekends is 18-16-1 (0.529) and on 2XP weekends it is 4-7-0 (0.360), showing a -0.169 win% difference on 2XP weekends.
I mean give it up to the NegativeBee, the guy put in the work. Here was his conclusion.
Kyler Murray’s performance on 2XP weekends is worse in all categories. Clearly, there is no explanation for Kyler’s performance deficits other than that he’s busy grinding for rare character skins and excessive amounts of XP.
What do you think? I mean it is very interesting….
