 I'm not asking for much. Just competent QB play from one of the highest paid QBs in the league. Who is surrounded by one of  not the most talented offenses in the NFL.  

His play isunacceptable and I  don't settle for below level mediocrity  like the Hurts apologists do . Everyone sees how bad he  has been.  The best part is when you guys pump your chest out when  he finally does something right as if it invalidates any criticism of him.

Hurts is the 9th highest paid QB in the league. 4 of them didn't make the playoffs, and the other 2 lost last weekend and 2 lost this weekend. No one is saying he is an all pro, but he is the perfect QB for the offense that we are running, literally.

I agree there is no excuse for some of the stuff he does like taking dumb sacks. He did stuff this game like he was doing last year which lost us games.

I like Hurts, I know what he's capable of in the passing game. I just wish he didn't do frustrating things sometimes like holding the ball long enough to get sacked instead of throwing it away.   That crap has GOT to stop. It has cost us potential points multiple times and not just in the game last night.  Luckily the defense bailed out the Eagles after the safety by quickly getting the ball back via forcing and recovering a fumble, otherwise that could've been the difference in the game right there if the Rams had gone down the field and scored.  Also wish he'd show the side of him we saw in the Steelers game more often.  The dude can definitely ball in the passing game, we've seen it.

Well I guess Hurts can continue to play like crap then. Its totally not the Defense and Barkley carrying the team while he  plays like ass every week

I'm sorry your team lost, it must be a hard week for you. :sad:

Take a look at the stats in the playoffs. The remaining 4 teams, their QBs haven't had impressive individual passing stats. Daniels has actually performed the best of all the remaining QBs in the passing game.

There are QBs with more stats sitting at home watching other teams advance. The media is praising other team QBs for finding a way to win, not turning the ball over and playing smart, doing just enough, etc. Sometimes that's how it goes.

Eagles have a top defense and run game...you know, the type of football Philly fans have always loved and wished for. Finally have a tough, physical team that dominates both lines and runs the ball and wins the turnover battle and...we complain about passing stats.

This was a very unique game and the win was all that mattered. I honestly thought the snow would put a pause on the criticism... yeah, I'm naïve as that.

Actually you do settle for whatever Hurts provides because you do not own the team.  Nor are you the GM or on the football operations or coaching staff.  And you never will be.  So there is literally nothing you can do to affect who the Eagles QB is.

We all see the holes in Hurts' game (many of the sacks taken against the Rams were atrocious, for example), but it is also true that he is an elite first down maker with his running ability and brotherly shove excellence, and he has led the Eagles to a home game in the NFC Championship game, where they are a five and a half point favorite.

Most everyone else is enjoying a nice playoff run that could culminate in a Super Bowl victory, while you are screaming into the void in a lonely exercise in mental ****ion.  I know which of those I would rather be.
