It makes more sense to put Umpa Lumpa QBs in the shotgun formation to help them see over the OL. They are at an extreme disadvantage because of their height... the shotgun lessens the disadvantage some, but not completely.

The Umpa Lumpa in Seadderall is an outlier... I'd pump the brakes big time on comparing the cardinals new rookie to him. Last time I checked Murray barely played college football... and now he's making the jump to the NFL. Wilson spent years playing QB in college. And let's not forget that the Shecock midget has sustained his share of injuries as a result of his running ways... he doesn't take off running near as much as he used to.

Wilson also was surrounded by talent when he was drafted. He could learn the position at the NFL level without being depended on. He also had a great running back in his prime, a deep receiving corps, and a rising young defense. He had a great rookie season, but all these things helped him significantly. The Cardinals - not so much.

I would not call Wilson a running QB any more than I would Aaron Rodgers. They both extend plays laterally with their feet and are able to stress a defense because of it. Wentz, RG3, Etc, try to get up field with their legs more often..... And that is where injuries happen.

It is yet to be seen what camp Murray falls into, but if he tries to hit home runs with his feet, it could get ugly for him in a hurry. I don't care how elusive people think he is. It comes down to angles once you are beyond the LOS, and his chances are not good against LBs and DBs at the second level.
