So much for "noodle arm." Some will never give Jalen any props for his arm, but even his biggest critics have to admit that he put that ball right where it was supposed to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t the game to trash Jalen. He was what they needed him to be today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyEaglez Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Also how about we give Jalen some props on how he manipulated the pocket today. On more than one play his movement in the pocket allowed his linemen to keep their blocks and keep the pocket clean allowing him to make good throws. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be interested to see what, if any, clips emerge this week of how he was moving through his progressions etc but yeah he had a really good game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly can't think of a single poster here that regularly defends Hurts, that hasn't acknowledged the bad plays as well. Even just yesterday, while watching the game, I thought his first 3 or 4 passes were suspect and I was yelling at the TV. I mean, why even throw those screen passes to the WR if the defense is clearly defending that. When defenders intercept those passes, they are the most likely to end up as pick-sixes. In the end, though, no harm was done and it makes no sense to come here and complain about bad things that could have happened but didn't. Personally, I don't expect perfection. I expect effort and root for wins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can admit when he plays bad, but we just don't lose our minds and call him too stupid to play the position, declare that the nfl has figured him out for the 50th time and start threads stating that he is done because he signed a big contract. There’s a difference between being rational and accepting what he is and demanding that he be absolutely perfect every time he steps on the field. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed he can get there and play at that level a bit more consistently. He's made strides with ball security ... now let's hope he can make even better decisions and phase out those types of passes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoop Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Went back and looked - Hurts had a similar stretch of three games last year. Weirdly enough, also in October. Let's hope he and the team don't also collapse again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are extremists on both sides of that spectrum. It was nice to see a number of the typical critics recognizing he played well yesterday.

Yes I agree - the Hurts defenders are often out numbered. He’s had a couple of bad games to start this season and he stunk (with the rest of the team) at the end of last season. But since 2022 he’s been a clear top 10 QB apart from that and it makes me laugh when people want him to be a "game manager” when he has won so many games for us with his arms and his legs. Let’s hope he can keep it going. We have a great chance if he can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncphillyfan Posted October 28 Author Share Posted October 28 OP here. Best game he has had since the 2022 nfc championship. Is it an outlier or is he back to 2022 Hurts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyEaglez Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Jalen Hurts is now 39-19 as a starting quarterback in the NFL. To put that into perspective Joe Borrow is 32-27. Wentz after five seasons with the Eagles was 35-32 yet so many anointed him at the time as the greatest Eagles quarterback ever and the Eagles would regret moving on from him. Well if the Eagles no longer wish to win games then let’s move on from Jalen. Let’s put Pickett out there and watch him cook! 😂🤣😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurts at his worst is uncomfortable in the pocket. It’s not that Hurts never makes plays throwing on the run outside the hashes…it happens…but he’s really not that good at it. His best passing comes when he’s comfortable in the pocket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the thing about this. Some people seem to think this player is incapable of these things and that is a terrible assessment. Every year his completion percentage has improved. As a passer he has improved. So to act as if he’s final frankly isn’t fair, because he’s shown improvement. Most importantly the team wins when he’s under center. I might not always look pretty but he wins, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opa-opa Posted yesterday at 08:46 PM Share Posted yesterday at 08:46 PM People seem to forget how horrible Hurts was in the first four game. People blame Barkley for dropping the pass in the Falcons game but forget we had a chance to win but Hurts threw a horrible pick. Then something changed over the bye week and he is making much better decisions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was below the standard we should expect from him, but he wasn't "horrible." The difference between a good game and a subpar game during that stretch was like 2-3 bad plays a game he needed to eliminate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can be critical about a player, coach, or GM when they are doing poorly, then you should be able to acknowledge when they’re doing well also. They sure have a lot to say when Jalen is struggling, but go silent when his out there killing it. Says a lot about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
