If the team was so strong despite of Hurts like many here seem to claim…then why did he have to come play?

Did that go into the decision of Siri to play Hurts last game this past season? I mean seeemed like the dumbest decision in the world to risk Hurts and AJ and many others in a pretty meaningless game.

We were in the playoffs. Healthy AJ and Hurts much more important than whatever seeding.

Instead the whole team clearly isn’t anywhere near geared up to actually play any winning football. Came out looking disinterested. Nobody brought the juice the fight and try and win that last game for us.

We lost AJ for the playoffs. Hurts finger on his throwing hand got wrecked and was bent the wrong way.

After all the punishment endured all season by Hurts….you couldn’t rest him that one week that meant nothing?

Whole team looked gassed ….couldn’t let them have the week to chill. Let them reset for the postseason.

I mean everything looked lost for us anyway,  But losing AJ and Hurts injuring his throwing hand that game was uncalled for. Just no reason it should have happened.

That’s something I can’t even have Siri CEO the franchise making happen.

Right,if you saw the "meanwhile". Just saying he is a tradable QB at any time we see fit to make the move. Personally I thought we stole the kid. He's young and has raw talent and has been a starter. He wanted out and Howie saw a quick way to grab a bargain QB who is worth more than we are paying him IMO.

I thought it a smart move to grab a cheap backup. But I believe he needs to be developed into becoming that still.

Where did I say he was superior? Why do you always put words in other peoples mouths then believe it??? You'd be a great politician. BTW I don't think Kenny is that far behind as Hurts lost a year last season to sharpen his passing game. I don't hate Hurts(LMAO) and I don't hate Kenny despite what moronic labels you put on people

You said you believed Pickett was the better passer. Which is just another shot at Hurts.

And choked on the big stage when it counted. How much do you spend per month on bronze statue polish? It has to be astronomical. You are so blinded by your loyalty,you fail to see Hurts as he is. Your man crush is truly pathetic to see and it's WAY overboard

Yep sure didn’t see it like that. Saw Hurts step up on the biggest stage. Saw him have to carry our sorry a22e2.

Just laughable you try and spin your Hurts hatred to him choking. Refs knew if they didn’t throw the flag on Bradberry….Hurts was guaranteed to come down and score. At least  field goal….if not the TD. No doubt in my mind Hurts was going to deliver at the end. Refs had to make sure KC could run all time off to make sure it didn’t happen.

He had to transfer to play,he wasn't good enough to win the starting job,thus why he went in round 2. Hurts has great abilities in some ways,and lacks on others. Normal people can see this which explains why you cannot. Putting stellar (and they are) players in place is a boon to any QB. There is nothing more Howie can do for Hurts. It's time for him to step up and I see no reasons whatsoever we can't go deep into the playoffs or dare I say get to another SB. Yet somehow I am "the hater" even though my goals for this team are superior to yours

Yep he sure did have to transfer. Tough blow to the kid. How did he answer? Lit up record books becoming runner up Heisman.

Nope,he needs to up his "brain game".This is the year he needs to do it. Add the quick reads and decisions and get the ball out. There is zero reason for him to hold the ball as long as he does. Your failure to see this doesn't change the fact he needs to do it. No hating,you can't do a fair evaluation because you are blind

One moment you swear he’s one read and run. Then you claim he holds the ball too long

Who said we aren't rooting for him???? I don't recall anyone every rooting for his failure. I can root for a guy and still see where he needs to put the work in. We're all sorry you can't. Now we have(or supposedly will have) a different offense. The play calling HAS to be better than last year. I'm calling for 12 wins while you are calling for 10,WHO is seeing more failure you or me? I wouldn't put up 12 wins if I thought Hurts was a failure. I'm counting on Hurts stepping up and becoming a complete NFL QB. How is that "hating"????

You must see him as a miracle worker to get us to 12 wins

Pickett was definitely in a position to fail the Steelers O was dreadful and the OC was terrible 

Always excuses for Fields and others….but nothing but blame for Hurts

This theory was proven very wrong when the third string came in and was doing ok

 Been hearing Isaiah Rodger’s been playing well in camp so far was kind of the forgotten man for our secondary coming to the season. 
 

Got to love the surplus of guys we have that can hopefully play for us this year in the secondary. 

It was a good low risk move. 

Ringo proved he can handle the job also. So kind of weird when they had Rodgers and Ringo that’s when they made the move to go all out on CBs high in the draft.

This was the first season where it actually looked like we could get by at CB ok

Been hurting so bad for CBs. But haven’t made any decent moves. A season too late finally traded for Slay. Then just had Bradberru fall in our laps from pure luck.

Guess Rosie just had to considering we were 31st in pass D

But this was actually the one season we could have let CB ride….and been ok

Yet that’s all the Hurts Haters bring up. It’s all his teammates and great team he’s surrounded by. Yet proven fact that without him they instantly become a five win n team….at best.

Delusional LOL
