This team will have such a nice WR corps... once the cancer gets cut out.

Question.  If Alex Smith’s Achilles falls out of his sock, is it a foul to tackle him by it?

Nope

Had no idea Thomas was a QB at VA Tech. Wow.

Im really starting to think if he had a coach that played to his strengths he would be a decent player. He can make the contested catches. 

I am as anti-JJAW as it gets.  Hated the pick, dislike the player.  I also think contested catches are a very 1980's concept.  Just get open, which he can't do.  If the catch is contested, statistically, the play has already tilted in the defense's favor.

Regardless, I don't think he's as horrific as the results show.  He's getting Marcus Smith'ed here.

Wait.  Do people really use computers for the EMB?   Most of the time I’m on my phone or iPad.  Except for when it’s a work day.  

Always phone

Since we're talking arm strength, how does Hurts arm strength compare to everybody's favorite QB Nick Foles?

Nick Foles doesn't under throw a majority of his mid range balls.  Nick has a good NFL arm, it's not elite but he has a more than good enough one.

In my book, they occupy the same category of arm strength.  Good enough to get the job done, weak enough to make you wish there was more juice a couple times per game.

Difference is that Foles is a passing QB and Hurts isn't.

Yeah he was drafted by the cardinals and i want to say the lions about 2 years (2016) in decided to convert him to tight end. Sadly for the lions never got the chance to develop him through. He has really began to emerge for Washington as the season has progressed.

Marcus Smith went on to suck everywhere

I use my laptop, not a big fan of how the mobile versions don't shrink text and any post over 4 lines you need to scroll for.  I know half of you in here are like 8743974379593475 years old too, so you probably have your text set super huge hahaha.

I thought the same thing.  They seem to have similar arm strength.

As will JJAW.  Marcus Smith could have been (and was after leaving here) a #3 and at worst #4 rotational DE.  He never dressed here due to a power struggle.  He was good enough to do that.

JJAW sucks...but he is good enough to share in the targets with the other JAGs we have at WR.

Let’s see what sudfield can do now

I prefer using the message board on a PC (and I'm not even an old timer) 😋

He got plenty of snaps here last year and even at the beginning of this year. He sucks

I will agree that he sucks.

I’ve seen Nick Foles since he was in college living out in Arizona. Talking to some of the Arizona wildcat coaches from that era. His arm strength was never the problem. It’s not a cannon but you’ve seen him in Philadelphia it’s never been the problem at the nfl level. His problem even at Arizona was consistency from game to game. He was a first round pick entering his senior season in 2011. I believe ESPN had him as a third team all American prior to the season. He started off really hot then got really cold in the middle of the season then heated up again towards the end of the season and then In the bowl game just completely fell apart. Nick Foles biggest issue has always been erratic play. Even in his time at Arizona. It’s why he fell to the third round.

To Nick Foles’ credit he also has improved not backpedaling when there’s pressure. In his first dance with the Eagles there were times where he would start backpedaling and just throw the ball off his back foot. When he came back the second time he was much better at stepping into throws and taking the hit and trying to deliver it. I haven’t watched enough of his Chicago games to know if that stayed consistent and he’s just not played very well

Computer keyboard good for well-thought out posts, smartphone good for hot-takes.  Good to use a combination of both.
