Hurts: "Hold my beer”

1 hour ago, Sack that QB said:

I don't see how it's overplaying it. Something is either true or it isn't. Ojomo has not proven himself as a full time impact DT in the NFL yet. I have a hope he will, but he's not like a 3 time pro bowler. I would not have been comfortable going into the season with what they had at DT pre draft in a repeat goal season. I'm not a big Davis fan and the other guys on the roster to me are just guys. And I think the Eagles agreed by taking a DT with one of their first 3 picks. The reality is the Eagles are going to be relying on guys who've not fully proven themselves yet in the NFL yet at multiple positions this season. That doesn't mean they all won't pan out. All of them could. I have confidence in most of them. But you can't deny the reality that they are doing so. And to repeat, most of them are going to have to come through for Howie and reward him with their faith in them.

I'm not a poker player, but in both poker and blackjack there are times when the best course of action is not to raise a bet or take another card, but rather to sit back and let the game play out. Sometimes that is the winning move and sometimes it isn't, but regardless of whether Lady Luck causes you to win or to lose, sitting tight is the right course of action. Raising the bet or taking another card in those situations is overplaying your hand.

The statement, "Something is either true or it isn't" is patently false. Many times the "something" is neither true nor false, it is unknown or unclear or incomplete. That doesn't sit well with you, because you almost always want to fix whatever you perceive is broken or lacking or uncertain.

I remember him and know what number he wore but I don’t recall him being anything special as a player. Kind of a backup to Gary Ballman, as I recall.

But... what a legacy on more than just a football field. RMHC is a game changer for a lot of families in their greatest time of need.

Absolutely.

Well I'm sold. The dead cap is basically the same as Wentz was if you account for inflation

While you all are busy debating the lack of perfection during the dagger, this play somehow came across my timeline. My how we've grown.

Since you can't see it, it's the Todd Pinkston alligator arms play.

DT was thin? Carter, Davis, Ojomo, Booker and added Robinson. Byron Young and Gabe Hall on the outside looking in. Both Ojomo and Booker looked good in their roles last year.

I was less impressed with Ojomo than you, it appears. I didn’t think he was strong at the point of attack. However, there is no question but that he did improve as the season progressed, as did Davis, for that matter. DT is a really tough position and generally takes a player longer to really get the hang of it. If they both continue to improve we’ll be fine there.

I don't think it's productive to nitpick a well executed play.

What else we going to do for the next two months. I don't want to go back to discussing feet for sure.

As to Hurts, I used to be one of the biggest disbelievers but he kept working and improving. He fixed a lot of things I didn't think he would ever fix. When he showed up to training camp in 2022 and was placing dimes with amazing accuracy my opinion drastically began to change. I remember thinking at the time that he still had a lot to work on but with that level of accuracy we can make this work. After the bye this year, when he started throwing the ball away and learning to live another down, those were really the last two things of a long laundry list of stuff I thought he would never fix coming out of college. I called him a top 3 QB earlier in this thread. Don't have an argument against people who feel otherwise, but to me, he has the ability to turn it on when it matters the most. That combined with the wisdom and talent that he has developed since coming out of college place him solidly at #2 on my top 3.

Cowboys fans are deluding themselves into believing this year will be different from Dak while people in this blog are bashing Hurts who literally won SB MVP for not throwing an actual TD pass a foot further. Good times

Dak has had some incredible results as a passer and now has three legitimate receiving threats. (Pickens, Lamb, Ferguson). They have some depth at WR (Tolbert, Turpin, Mingo). Schoonmaker is a solid #2 TE. Invested in the OL and that May start to show dividends this year. RB is still a question mark.

I think both the cowpads and gints are better this year.

The weird part of all the Hurts discussion is that if someone says that he's #7, that's HATE on Hurts. If someone says he's #4 or #5... that's hate too. It's hard to rank players and have everyone agree with the order, but what's bizarre is how differing opinions on exactly where he falls in the top 10 is so vitriolic.

For me, he's number 4 or 5. You have him at 2. That's cool. Some might have him even higher or even lower. In the grand scheme of things, we are all Eagles fans and want the team to have success. And if someone would rather be right than have the Eagles succeed, that seems to already be its own punishment. No need for anything else.

Dak is usually really good at racking up stats when it doesn't matter... and struggles more and more as the stakes go up.

I see that you are still trying to bend over backwards to try and discredit ManuManu anyway you can. As predicted, it's going to continue to be a very difficult time for you all over the next 20-30 years.

I hope his continued high level of success doesn't wear on you all too much.

Well played sir. Very well played.

I defer to you on line play but for a 22 year old, I thought he looked good for what he is. #4 DT.

JMO

But I didn't say the DTs sucked or didn't suck. That would apply to being neither true or untrue because it's a subjective thing. I said I was uncomfortable with the position and Ojomo is unproven. That does not fall under the unclear because it's a definitive objective statement that I made, because how proven someone's resume is can be tangibly measured. You seem to be projecting that I'm implying Ojomo and/or the DTs aren't good, when I never said that. Saying I'm uncomfortable with them and saying Ojomo is unproven doesn't mean they're broken or not good. It just means unproven. And again, the Eagles agree with this because they used one of their first 3 picks on the position.
