Hilarious!

Mayfield for the last year plus has been better than our QB. 

And 3 extra sacks? Are you kidding? This pass rush blows.

Yeahh Nahh..

 

Mayfield stinks, Eagles stick a fork in the BUCs had the game been in Philly.

Kirk Cousin is a proven player if you compare him to Mayfield, who is having a fluke run and nothing more.

Falcons also had a legit run game and is an overall better team than Bucs, Eagles were 1 dropped catch away from winning that.

Be it Cleveland or Be it in Tampa Bay, Baker Mayfield is trash, and trash still stinks wherever you are, no way this phony beats the Eagles had the game been in Philly.

Bucs won because of the heat, I saw Jalen Carter fall backwards with just a push from a REF in that heat LOL.... Players were not prepared for the heat..

Well Mayfields fluke run has gone on as long as Hurts constant turnover issues. So for the last 12 months I’d take him over our QB1.

Any QB could beat this defense right now. And with the injuries we have on offense we can’t keep pace. Without AJ, Smitty and Lane I’m not sure we beat many teams.

Agreed we don't beat many teams without our superstars, but we beat this Tampa team if played in Philly without issues... Tampa won due to the weather...

We really don’t. Tampa right now is a decent team. We right now without the 3 guys we keep mentioning are not.

For as easily as you could say this team should be 3-1, they could also be 0-4. They have yet to win any of these games convincingly and in every game other than this beat down the defense has been the ones on the field that decided the game, because the offense did a poor job of putting the game away. This game really put all of the goodwill Jalen has had against the blitz to bed. It felt like he got exposed here. He was very erratic with the football today especially early, and the turnovers….. I mean you can’t even say at least he didn’t throw a pick, because he put the ball in harms way even if it wasn’t a pick. Right now Jalen is not a good quarterback, this is not a good coaching staff as a whole, and overall this is not a good football team. 

Yeah, the Chiefs could easily be 0-4 as well. They also haven't convincingly beat anyone yet and won a couple of games with controversial calls at the end (bengals/falcons).  Mahomes has 6 TD's and 5 INTs on the year, but they're 4-0 so no one's overcriticizing his play.  With your logic, right now Mahomes isn't a good QB either. 
 

The defense made some plays vs GB to seal things, but they didn't particularly have a good showing. I also seem to recall the offense putting up all those points in the win.  They played pretty well vs ATL but absolutely choked at the end.  You can't blame Hurts for Barkley dropping a pass for a 1st down conversion either.  The defense didn't even bother showing up against Tampa to even give the offense a shot.  I'm objective, so while I can see that Jalen isn't playing his best, I can also say with confidence that he isn't the reason why we've lost twice.

Do you want to compare the career of Mahomes vs the career of Hurts? This is ridiculous really. What about the fumbles? Are they similar as well? I’d be happy to not worry about Jalen Hurts if he had the resume of Pat Mahomes. I’ll add compare Jalen’s assortment of weapons compared to Mahomes and switch these players. In you honest opinion do you believe that Mahomes puts up the same numbers Jalen has? Do you believe Jalen matches Mahomes numbers with those guys?

Why compare the careers? Do you not understand the argument I'm making or something?

The point I made, which was pretty obvious, is that Mahomes' poor play this season is being overlooked because the Chiefs happen to be 4-0.   If they were 0-4, I can guarantee you everyone would be criticizing him and saying he needs to play better. 3 SB wins or not, analysts wouldn't simply brush off his turnovers and say "he's earned the right to suck" and cost his team wins.  

And to play devil's advocate, sure, Mahomes probably puts up better passing numbers if he were here in place of Hurts, but then he probably doesn't have 3 SB wins either.

Mahomes poor play isn’t being overlooked, but no one will be calling for his benching because he’s a SB champagne an MVP playing for a team that consistently lacks talent. Jalen has been struggling with a team loaded with talent. Bottom line Jalen Hurts is an average quarterback playing with elite talent. Mahomes is an elite quarterback playing with average talent. Tell me how many of those Chiefs players you would take over Eagles players on offense. Look you can’t ignore the pedigree or the fact that Jalen Hurts has been a turnover machine since that Super Bowl or the fact he’s been losing a lot lately. Jalen Hurts has 4 picks and 5 fumbles this year. Mahomes has only five picks. Jalen is putting the football in harms way and it is costing this team.

Eagles fans are always quick to call for a QB's benching, so I'm not surprised people are stupidly doing so now. The team has been losing a lot lately, not just Hurts. If you somehow think he's the sole reason, or even the most obvious reason for those losses, I question your reasoning.

And yes, Patrick's play and turnovers have been overlooked. 

You think the Chiefs have consistently lacked talent on offense?? So Kelce, Hill, and Pacheco are just average to you?? 😂. They also expect Worthy to be a great weapon for Mahomes, and we know Rice can play.  You sound like a pure homer saying Mahomes has played with just average talent.   Also, you're selling the Chief's defense short as they have been key in every SB win.  

To entertain your elite vs average talent argument, I'll agree that AJ and Smith are "elite" (even though I think AJ is elite & Smith is just right under that tier), but when has the RB position ever been elite until this season?  Are you saying Gainwell, Sanders, Swift, Scott, Sermon, and Penny are elite players? Seriously?!  Were Quez Watkins, Rhaegor and Fulgham elite WRs?? I like Dallas as well, but I wouldn't really call him elite yet. Please tell me, where is all this elite talent that Hurts has been surrounded by during his 5 years here?  It's only been 4 games with Barkley, so does his time even count yet?

Bring in Mahomes, I don't care what QB you put in here, this team isn't going to win anything with this awful defense.

You’re all over the place bud. You want to ignore Mahomes past successes while citing bums from the past. Reagor? Really??? 😂🤣😂 You named 2 weapons from the Chiefs. Is Pacheco better than Barkley? Nope! Kelce is a better weapon than Goedert, but none of his receivers can touch Brown and Smith. It’s a joke. It’s not even close who has talent here. Jalen has had Brown, Smith, and Goedert for over two years now, but still has yet to throw for over 250 yards a season. Despite what Mahomes has as talent this season so far is the only time Mahomes has thrown under 250. Just in case you didn’t realize it, but Jalen Hurts is turning the ball over more than Mahomes, because he keeps fumbling the darn football. These guys aren’t close to the same and it’s ridiculous to try to compare them. How about instead of giving me this ridiculous pity party of how bad you think Eagles fans are treating Jalen, you tell me what he’s doing well? Forget whining about the fans. Forget comparing him to a league and SB MVP. Tell me about Jalen. What is Jalen doing well right now?

Please, name all the elite talent Hurts has had over the course of 5 seasons that's not Brown and Smith. The only player you can name is Barkley, and he's been here a total of 4 games, so he doesn't really count yet. AJ hasn't played since week 1, and Smith was out last week. 

Also, your argument was that Mahomes has won and been consistently successful with just average talent, which is bogus.  I don't care how much elite talent you have on offense, you need a solid defense to win.  I'm certain if you put Mahomes on this team he isn't winning any SB's with the defense we have.  Sure, Patrick would throw for more TD's than Jalen would here, but it's not like Jalen can't throw for more TD's, he simply gets a lot of 1 yard rushing TDs which are just as effective in my book. 

Mahomes has 6 TD passes on the year to Hurts' 4, but Hurts has also run for 2, so they both account for 6 on the year.  Hurts also leads Mahomes in passing yards, and he hasn't had AJ for 3 games and Davonta for 1.  

Again, what I'm telling you is neither Mahomes or Hurts are playing that well thus far, but Mahomes is 4-0 so his turnovers/poor play are being glossed over. He's had an INT in every game this year but they've won. He threw for 151 yards with 2 TDs and 2 INTs vs the Bengals in a win, and no one was talking about his turnovers. In fact, Burrow outplayed him, but still lost because wins aren't determined solely on QB play.  Hurts threw for 278 yards with 2 TDs and 2 INTs vs the packers in a win, but all you saw around here was "hurts has to stop turning it over" "Wentz 2.0" "Put in McKee!" our fans are trash.

I don’t care about Mahomes, but comparing a guy whose team came off the SB last year to a guy whose team is 3-8 over his last eleven makes no sense. Trying to sample size Mahomes career as a whole over four games makes no sense. I’ll ask you again what is Jalen Hurts doing that is good right now? The response is Mahomes is doing it too is not an answer. Heck Geno Smith is playing better than Mahomes right now so does that mean he’s better? Only in the mind of a fool.

Do you think Mahomes fans are saying it’s okay he’s struggling, because Jalen Hurts is struggling too? :roll:

Jalen Hurts is the sole reason the offense sucks. I'm not sure how that is even debatable anymore. No one on the offense is under performing. Just him.

Read his  college scouting report. Its verbatim what we have seen in the games and we are now 5 years in. 

He can't read defenses, slow release. Not seeing open WR's. Refuses to throw over the middle. Doesn't go through  his progressions,  constantly bails out of clean pockets.. ...Then the constant nonstop turnovers and lack of game sense. 

His one big strength isn't even there anymore. Dude runes like hes stuck in mud.  His arm strength is average at best  Leadership wise he has personality of a rock.

At this point he's not even average. A average QB can be elevated by Elite talent around him.  Only a below average QB could make  a offense this talented look  like a dysfunctional  mess like he has.

 

I hope he proves me wrong. But I don't see how these bad habits will magically disappear

unfortunately i think you are 100% correct.

At the moment i think he's one of the worst QBs in the league. Hopefully he'll improve but i'm not gonna hold my breath
