I have a very long track record on here of my opinions. Not just hindsight…but predicting beforehand how I see things. I get some things wrong. But really feel like my percentage of being correct is very high. The game of football isn’t all that complicated really. I clearly could see how Pedey needed a speed WR for his O to really flourish. Didn’t take me a whole bunch of consideration to realize the gimmick and negatives surrounding Chip Kelly fast break O.  Not hard for me to see how when Rosie relies on the football people to make his decisions he does a much better job. It just isn’t in his DNA. I really don’t know if Rosie ever played any sport.  But Rosie can stand in the face of pressure situations and make good decisions. He isn’t crumbling to make a trade by giving up more than he wants just because of the pressure. He handled the crucial AJ trade on the clock. The most crucial deal he’s made…and he did it with a timeline of before his pick. He signed AJ to a fair contract under these terms. It was a smart move.

So you are unhappy with Howies last 3,drafts? People can still improve themselves. Howie did it. Don't care what happened 10 years ago

Same size as Hurts,but he found the open lanes to throw through

And you could make the argument he’s the best passer ever been. So you’re right. But Brees was so special with his field vision and understanding of the game. Nobody been like him ever.

No my point is I simply don’t look at everything like he always great…or always terrible. He does both. He has strengths and he has weaknesses.

He is a fantastic runner. But he threw some absolutely incredible passes these past two seasons. He really stepped up. Now he has dealt with a different coordinator every year of college and Pros except 2022. So I think that has affected him in this area some. He never has been able to develop in some areas of being a QB because if this. I agree a little with you. But you constantly label him as one read and run. Which just isn’t the case. 

Sure it is, it's why he takes off more than most other QB's. He also holds the ball too long. If he is making more than 1 read I fail to see it,if read 1 is gone he will take off running

I'm just hoping Hurts gets into that more. I don't expect him to be Brees or Brady,but he needs to improve there

But he gets GM of the year,that's like the MVP QB.You can't get there being a moron

I don’t think we can judge Rosie last several drafts too much. Hurts single handedly saved that draft. But Davis he trade up in the first for….can’t look at that pick as great. Took Nolan in the first not looking great year one. These draft picks really haven’t proven themselves much of anything. Sidney Brown hasn’t proven much. Steen hasn’t proven himself yet.

Lord, which GM jumped on the Bark situation and got the guy here? Howie has the inside track many times while others are asleep at the switch LOL. So we nearly got tagged for tampering,but where did bark end up?

Just not true. So clearly just false made up narrative to fit the Hater agenda. He does tend to hold the ball. He leads the league in creating big plays. That includes passing…big time. But how can you not see how last years O just totally relied on Hurts to make those big plays ….live or die by them. There really wasn’t much of intermediate routes. That was scheme issue.

How is Hurts going to improve Nolan,Steen and Brown? I need to hear this

So when a play breaks down the WR's don't find a way to get open for Hurts "big creative plays"? really?

BTW AJ is a master at this and if you watch Smitty,He has vet moves like pushing off without pushing off and getting flagged. That is an NFL move he had in college

SO showing a chart of assembling the best NFCE team brings a SB to Philly also? If you are unhappy with a post just ignore it. I'm sick of the woke BS and will fight that whenever I can. Feel free to ignore me

I'm sick of the woke BS...it's why I don't talk about it.   Idk about you though...you seem really interested because you bring it up a lot?  

As for the football team down in Washington. I have relatives down there...real salt of the earth type people.  Give you the shirt off their back.  They haven't had a relevant team team to root for in over 30 years.  That sucks for them.  I don't think the team now matters as much of the 3 decades of just being awful.   

Reagor, Wallace, Davian Taylor, Driscoll, Hightower, Quez, other guys so bad I don’t even remember them…that what I’m talking about saving the 2020 draft.

Lol...  no kidding?   You argue the opposite with me for years.   

How is Jurgens going to be able to  make these complicated blocking calls

How can you expect Hurts to decipher these complicated defenses from Bowles?

We need an offensive genius. 

No Mas, you just don't understand the complicated cover 3 and why the slot CB needs to run 20 yards outside to cover the out pattern. 

I hope Fangio doesn't ruin these rookies by asking them to play all these complicated positions?

But now... " football isn't all that complicated of a game"?

No kidding... welcome to planet earth.  Where we like our QBs to simply read a defense and make a throw.

It completely was a fail…accept he got Hurts.

It has really shaped Hurts. He really has been tested. Very adverse situation. Did he shrink? Did he disrupt the team making things all about him? Also he played in the biggest games college ball has to offer. He got benched….and answered by putting up a Heisman worthy season. That’s the character of our leader. No stage is too big for him to not be ready for. No situation will he give up. If we are down multiple scores? He isn’t going to play it safe and pad stats to make himself look good. He’s going to do whatever gives a chance to win. Chuck it up …plenty of QBs won’t risk it to their stats. But if it’s only one percent chance and it gives the only chance to win….thats what he’s doing.

OK I'm not going to argue about Hurts godlike impact on you,it's fruitless. Just keep polishing like noone else has gone through college aversions LOL

Tape everywhere where he looks at multiple receivers…then scrambles…then find another guy later. That was our main offensive scheme this past season.

This is a pretty difficult statement to argue.    Is there anyone from the 2020 draft or UDFA still on the team ...other than Hurts?

I posted because it was a football story and there isn't alot to talk about right now. You don't need to read nor respond if you don't want. I post Dullaz jokes on here also,I guess those need to cease as well

He instantly gave the D players juice his rookie season. You could see them play harder instantly. Then you hear the quotes….from the D guys….they brag about Hurts to the opponents. They believe in him. He has that drive and competitive spirit that anybody should be able to see.

Brees had brilliant coaches. What was it Schottenheimer in San Diego? Then Sean Payton. The coach needs a QB that can do the job.  But giving him a top O mind to explain the game and set him up was always key. 

If Brees didn't have talent and smarts he would have been out after his rookie contract
