I did all the polls,got 100% except for two. I picked Mayfield over Hurts. He isn't a better QB athletically,but he is a much better decision maker. Baker could use a good TE, Better RB's and a slot man. Some of this is deceptive,you need to account for the weaponry so it can be misleading as abounding talent at the skill positions makes mediocre QB's look good. I also believe at this point that Hurts is better than Love due to Hurts ability to run. Although I suspect that changes through this year,it's not happening week 1

I hit all except I chose Love over Hurts based on decision making from last season's picture.

Yeah,you'd have a good argument too LOL. Favre,Arod,Love-GB sure knows how to pick QB's and make them wait their turn

Kenny Pickett’s QB Trainer Says False Narratives Were Pushed: ‘They Are 100 Percent BS’ (msn.com) Nice move by Howie. From all accounts Pickett looks good. He will be a fine BU and as a BU he has a chance to put the past behind him and get another shot at starting somewhere. He will be a nice QB to trade something for when the time comes.In the meantime, we have a viable BU who can win games if Hurts gets hurt. Just another intelligent move by Howie. I hope both BU QB's get a chance to take some snaps in real games. I also believe McKee can become a viable BU when Pickett gets traded. So we're in very good shape going into this season

Has a nice "snap" to his delivery. I especially appreciated the run to the left and the pass. Hard to do for a righty

 Man, Ham is really rubbing off on people here with these ideas of moves way in advance.

I think we have a backup QB for cheap here the next two years.... I don't see trading Pickett if he is a good backup for cheap.  I don't hope he gets on the field in games because that means injury for Hurts.    I don't think saying "hike " and handing off in blowouts does anything for him either.  

QB is an expensive position, a great way to manage cap is not having an expensive backup.   Mariota cost a decent amount,  was a waste of cap space that we can't get back.   I don't see them unloading a guy that they think is better and is much cheaper.  

I just love how his 13 career passing TDs and 13 interceptions in 25 career games makes him the superior passer to our QB1. Exactly just how extremely laughable the Hurts Hating Agenda swings so regularly here

I do like Pickett’s competitive spirit. Don’t think he’s one of those that shrinks under the pressure….which are very crucial qualities.

The gap is so very unrealistically wide between Pickett and Hurts it’s nothing but a stretch to even begin to believe in any BS agenda about comparisons. Frankly it’s not fair to Pickett. Let’s just set the bar for him at developing into a reliable backup QB option for Hurts. Come in and finish a game they yank Hurts during for concussion protocols or what have you. Hopefully such a scenario entails us already having a lead he can just protect and come in just showing enough capabilities so he doesn’t lose the game for us. 

Can he come in and be a game manager that doesn’t make any big mistakes? A backup QB the team can believe enough in….so team morale doesn’t completely collapse.

I can’t even fathom how FL got into his head that Pickett is even a superior passer to Hurts? Just so clearly a guy with blinders on totally against our QB1

I understood how everybody here seem to be missing out on the evolution of Wentz. Every Eagles fan optimistically wanted to believe that best version of Wentz could be reincarnated.

But then Shew. Who we couldn’t win a game with was actually being argued to bench Hurts for. Would have thought lessoned would have been learned. Hurts took a mediocre team and willed them to win. 2021 team wasn’t very good. Rookie Smitty was the main receiver. Which I’ve always been high on him….but as a rookie….that was a huge ask. But had Quez and worse as the other WR. It was pathetic. Yet our QB1 wouldn’t allow that team to do anything but refuse to lose. He brought the attitude of a winner and competitor to all.

Shew I don’t even wish to tear down. He’s not bad. Capable NFL QB. But no leader. No Franchise QB. Only reason any fan has for belief in our team under Siri has been created by Hurts. He doesn’t act big time. He’s not flashy Hollywood. He doesn’t try to big the dictator. He’s more reserved. He leads so very much by example.

Listen to even the D players in those pressure moments of games….they all believe in Hurts will get it done. In game quotes of stuff like : "you don’t even know who we got”

The team galvanizing and leadership starts right from the beggining….first thing you hear after Rosie signs you the Eagles…you hear from Hurts welcoming you aboard!

You don’t need our coaches to hold the ultra competitive Hurts back during games or in frustrating moments. He doesn’t need any of that. He stays so even keeled. Some seem to try and knock him for that. But that’s a strength. He doesn’t rattle easily. He doesn’t get super emotional and cloud his judgment. He’s prepared…and is ready to face whatever odds. He’s been very battle tested. Nobody has been through and faced what Hurts has in his football days.

Guy is 25 years old. Been battle tested on the biggest stages. Had to suffer and persevere through massive adversities. Benched at Bama….but still answered the call even after dealing with that most difficult blow. Just think how difficult that must have been? Gotta believe any SEC QB totally believes he’s big time and set for stardom. But took it….learned from it. Then came in and delivered as a backup when he was needed by the team that benched him. So he had to find a new college home. He goes and has such an amazing season with his one chance redemption moving to OK. He absolutely lit it up. Answering all naysayers in the most indisputable way. If not for Burrow having colleges all time season Hurts wins the Heisman as his answer to being benched.

Yet was proving himself by dominating at OK enough to gain respect for him as a player to draft him top five overall? Freaking guys like Pickett get overdrafted first round. Trey Lance…and so on. Who even knows how far Hurts would have fallen if not for us drafting him in the second round?

53rd pick

Hurts evidently is just a lightning rod for disrespect. He does everything possible he can control to be the best. Make those around him the best. Guts out playing so injured without complaining or letting on how bad things are for him. 

Fans want to jump on a player over him slacking and partying too hard? That I can understand. But I just don’t get trying to constantly tear down the guy that has so clearly stepped up as our leader. He does all the right things. For our team…for himself. He isn’t some thug…or acting like a spoiled Primma Donna …QB/WR type.

Hurts is super talented guy. But he’s made himself into so much more than that. He’s taken it upon himself… to do everything he can to max out his body and potential.

He’s had a new coach learning a new O every year of college and pros except one. Under Steichen…he got a second season under a legit O mind. Answered with having a runner up MVP season. Should have been SB MVP
